Life's For Living, That's Our Philosophy
I am fucking knackered.
Laura and Emily got to Kentish Town about 9ish on Wednesday and met us in The Oxford Arms. Both were absolutely battered after drinkin wine on the train all the way here. By the time we'd got up to the flat for them to dump their stuff I was exhausted, so gave going out a miss. Had an early night, then was woken up at 3 by Maff asking if I was ok. Went to work Thurs and met the guys in The Assembly House afterwards where they were playing scrabble. Had a Nandos, went back to the flat, watched Dylan Moran. Bed. Went to work Friday, got back to the flat...then the fun started.
Jordan, Emily & Toph were supposed to get a coach from Victoria back to Newport at half 6, Laurs was coming back with me in the car. She had my keys so that after they'd gone to the bus station she could get back in and wait for me. I get home at 6ish and she's not there. She's not answering her phone and I'm stuck outside. Bump into Ken who lives in the ground floor flat and he very kindly invites me in for a cup of tea while I wait. We had a really nice chat and he seems really nice (and Maff caught the bus with his missus last week and apparently she's lovely too so we may have two new friends). I got a call from Toph at about 20 past 6, they'd just got back from town. Emily is upstairs with Laura crying and Jordan is pacing up and down the street looking very pissed off. Turns out they went to different museums in town, and were meant to meet at half 4 (which would have been too late IMO to get from Kensington to Kentish Town and then to Victoria in rush hour), Jordan and Toph didn't come out til 5. Then Emily had an asthma attack on the tube and they had to wait on the platform until she'd got it under control, all the time during this Jordan was shouting at her that she was going to make them late for the coach and she needed to sort herself out. o.O
It didn't matter anyway, because I have to drive PAST Newport to get to Cardiff, and there was room in the car but Jordan was being an absolute twat to Emily about it. They bickered ALL the way back, so me and Laurs sat in the front with the music turned up loud and singing along really badly to drown them out. We eventually got to Lauras place about half 11, watched Little Miss Sunshine (Paul Dano - Hot or Not?), slept. Saturday morning was spent charity shopping, I bought the best pair of shoes ever, 2 pairs of sunglasses, a hat, a blouse, a skirt, a brown cord jacket and a tshirt. We went to Newport to see Jeni Mc and her new gaff (which is huge and I'm insanely jealous) and then I went over to JW's to meet with Fanny & JA. Had a chinese, drank & gossiped. Laughed a lot. Watched some snooker & The Apprentice went to bed.
Yesterday we had tickets to watch the rugby at the stadium. Cardiff Blues Vs. Leicester Tigers. Was a good game, was getting quite into it. It went to extra time which apparently is quite rare in rugby games, then extra time finished and it was still a draw and no one really knew what was happening next (penalty kicks it turned out). Some people scored, some missed, Cardiff lost. :o( It was a good day out, the weather was lush and Jonny spilt a whole pint over himself in the most comical manner possible so it was all good fun. Chatted with Linda & Jonny about our plans for Glasters and then I headed over to Caths. It was really nice to see Cath, because I'd not seen her since I left in October and she always has good gossip. She also cooked me sausage and cheesy mash which was WELL NOM. Saw something called Snog, Marry, Avoid? on BBC 3 (seriously, if you get chance...watch it), with some proper trashy twins. Drove back to London, opened my package from Die (love the earrings! :D) and LOL'd at the postcard, went to bed.
Today: Lazy day, doing a bit of sewing and whatnot. 3 day week then back to The Donx Thursday night. Another long weekend...
