Things I did this week-end:
- worked (from home): ah, the miracles and curses of modern technology
- did some filing
- spent too much time on a number of websites
- stayed in bed until 11:30 this morning, cuddling up to Adrian and reading

Things I didn't do this week-end:
- didn't leave home for more than 20 minutes

- didn't work on ( Read more... )

My goodness, it's Monday night already.
Since the moment the trip to India was confirmed, time appears to be flying (exactly the opposite of when you are eagerly awaiting for a holiday).

On Friday afternoon I got my visa (multi-trip, valid for 12 months) and in the evening we went to the residents' association's Halloween party.
It was good fun but ( Read more... )

It's the week-end, I'm in London and the sun is shining: surely there must be something wrong! LOL!

Last night we went to the residents' association's quiz night and fish & chip supper, and tonight we are off to the Bridge Tavern pub (the only "gastro" pub in the neighbourhood and the only pub where it is safe to go!) with a group of neighbours for ( Read more... )

Adrian was in Leeds and I spent the week-end socialising and gardening.
On Saturday evening 2 neighbours (Peter and Sim) were having drinks in their garden. I must confess that at first I wasn't very keen on going on my own. Not because I don't like or know them, but simply as I can be quite the hermit when Adrian's away.

Anyway, I said I would go ( Read more... )

 Oh no! It's Sunday evening already, and I don't feel like I had a rest this week-end, but it was fun.

The weather forecast was right and today the sun's shining, and it's warm too. 
It's going to be a lazy, long week-end (Monday is a Bank Holiday).
The lovely Richard (or as we often call him Ricardo) is stopping for a couple of nights here on his way home from his farm in France; so earlier today we discussed food and menu for the next few days.

- The bugie were not a total disaster after all: Adrian ate about 5 when he got home that night, and more the following day with William.
- Thursday and Friday were very hectic at work, trying to meet a deadline. It's nice to be busy but I was almost panic-stricken.
- The week-end has been mainly wet (almost 0 hours of sunshine) and went oh so ( Read more... )

The 3 day Bank Holiday week-end is already over :-(
It went very quickly, despite the fact that (again) we didn't do much.

On Saturday,  Callum took us out for lunch (after champagne and nibbles at his flat). We went to The Junction Tavern a gastropub in Kentish Town: the food was great (I had lamb ( Read more... )
