ok, so the evil nurse stabbed me in the arm and it hurts like hell :( Granted it will protect me against typhoid, but still....
Friday, big day. I booked my flight. So it is official. I leave on the 23rd September for Havana. excellente.
After the excitement of the morning I went and got a hair cut, which was coolness as she gave me a fringe and it is the cutest, most girlie hair cut I have ever had. (shame I can't get it to look how it did on Friday since, but still!!) Then around 4pm Adham and I left for the weekend of insanity. I drove in to London. Mad mistake the A13 had been shut off so it took us forever to get there. And then another lifetime to find the travelodge we were staying at. Got to the lovely Italian restaurant in Mayfair around 8pm to a lovely welcome as everyone cheered and clapped, because we were so late!! The food was exquisite and I had a great time. Alenka and Carl looked very happy that it was their birthdays and we all slowly got drunk. Ad and I had a lovely red wine mmmm...Everyone seemed to like Adam, so that was cool and I really enjoyed meeting new people, especially the French man hehe. After the restaurant we went to the Embassy club in London and darling Alenka had put me on the comps list so I got in free, always a bonus. We didn't see any celebrities, but then to be fair, I was too drunk and we left reasonably early. Got a cab back to Soho and didn't get to sleep till half 3 ;)
Saturday involved brunch on Neal Street and a thumping champagne hangover. We drove around London and all the way to Harrods, had some chocolate at their chocolate bar and then drove back to the West End. Around 5pm called everyone and we headed off to Carolina's mansion in Surrey. Took aaages to get there but boy was it a relief when we did. Her house was beautiful and she had so much drink and food there it was unbelievable. Everyone settled in and it was an awesome night. By 11 I was in the pool in my underwear and a tie. It was all too embarrassing, but so much fun. By half 11 I had added a pair of Elvis glasses and a moustache to the ensemble and we all posed for photos. In my de fence, it was a porn star party and I was the least embarrassingly dressed haha.
Sunday was shit, awoke with a thumping hangover and to hear music still going. How is that possible you ask? Because when I went downstairs, some of the guys were doing lines off the side of the pool. *sigh* I'm glad I'm not a regular London party type, would hate to get myself into a state like that. We left to drive Alenka to Stansted to get her flight back to Norway around half 8. After I went back to Adam's and slept for what seemed like the entire day. Came home and slept until Monday morning. hehe. now that's what I call an insane weekend.
Last night I handed my play into David and that marks the end of the playwriting course. We all went to the pub and it was nice to chat to everyone. It turns out I'm missing the showcase of our work because I shall be away but they're going to try and video it for me :) I'm all excited about my writing now.
Today I went to the tattoo parlour and Adham and I looked around at what we want. Then I went for my vaccination and have felt rotten ever since. I'm going back to bed now. wanted to work on my new project- re-writing my graduate play, but that shall have to wait. For now it's bed, hot chocolate and a list of Spanish verbs.
what a life I lead!!
