Yesterday was Simon's 27th birthday and we went for a daytrip to London! The weather was gorgeous and we had an awesome time.
We went on the Duck Tour which is a tour of central London on a Duck - a vehicle that is a cross between a truck and a boat, and literally drives into the Thames part-way through the tour! It was SO COOL, and it was great to ( Read more... )

Yesterday Simon and I saw Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen (Yay for Orange Wednesdays getting us BOGOF tickets, and for Somerfields having 4 for £1 on kids sweets we can smuggle in). The first Transformers film was very good. Action type of films are not my kinda thing, but i did like the first Transformers anyway because of the humour in it and ( Read more... )
