Segway Saturday

Image
I saw the Lego movie on Monday - it's really good and I highly recommend. I knew nothing about it and was pleasantly surprised, I give it 10 popcorns (out of 10).  The cinema was filled with kids as it was half term and there was one kid who was laughing manically throughout, bless him. On Friday I went for drinks with work people and got accidentally drunk - I was only going to stay for one but one turned into three doubles on an empty stomach...oops.  We haven't been out in a while so it was good to catch up with everyone - I miss the summer of drinking in the wheatsheaf!  I then went to Amy and Rob's - I provided dinner (M&S deal of 2 pizza, 2 sides and pud for a tenner - SUCH a bargain!) and we settled down to watch Kung Pow - one of my favouritest funniest movies ever. The weekend has been really good - I went on a Segway!!! Mum bought me a 2 person voucher which I was meant to use with the ex but we never got round to booking it, so 2 years later I finally boo

Friday was Valentines Day.  I had a romantic night in with  my housemate Barbra - we ordered from Deliverance which was yummy. I had Nasi Goreng as I was missing Singapore, and B had a semi healthy salad - which we finished off with sticky toffee pud and choco brownie.  The mains were delicious but the puds were a bit hit and miss.  It's quite expensive but I guess you're paying for the fact they have such a wide choice of food - I managed to find a 25% off code too so it was worth the while. Saturday I woke up in a terrible mood (must have got out on the wrong side of the bed).  I went to Cesca's where she had made some delicious scones and we had lots of pots of early grey (very sophisticated) whilst watching Sochi and having a gossip .  I then went and met the girls in Brixton market for some dinner before Rudimental.   We ended up in Seven - good reasonably prices tapas and £5 cocktails, including a slightly more expensive £7 cocktail that comes in a smoking skull jar

You spin me right round, baby

This blog post is very delayed due to being chronically tired from a crazy Saturday.  More on that later. The week was spent doing spinning classes after work (nearly wrote school then, weird).  I really enjoyed my first one, but the rest have been a bit of a drag.  If you don't know what spinning is, then it's basically cycling really hard and fast with a load of other people in a dark room with disco lights and pumping music. The fact it's dark is great because you sweat loads and no one can see you making stupid faces (my workout face usually consists of me looking like I am in chronic pain and sticking my tongue out like a water deprived panting dog on a hot summer's day).  Tuesday and Wednesday were filled with tube strikes.  Call me controversial but I was all for the strikes - I don't think ticket stations should be closed down (I for one have to use them and prefer speaking to someone human than using a machine - unless there's a big queue of co

On Monday I went on a date.  It was successful - I had fun, and he wanted to see me again - see, a success.  We arranged to meet again on Saturday so of course I go out on Friday night and get a bit too drunk. Typical. I went to Steam & Rye which is apparently owned by Kelly Brook. It's pretty awesome in there - American 1920s themed and all the hostesses are dressed as flapper girls.  The cocktails are immense  - you can order this huge shark head and when you order it, it causes a bit of a scene with the waiters and waitresses lighting sparklers and doing a bit of a dance.  You can also order a cocktail that comes in a lit up cauldron.  All of this is very expensive though so Samia and I stocked up at the wetherspoons over the road (like the classy birds we are) before heading across. At about 9pm some sexy dancers came on stage which caused a bit of excitement. There was also live music, who randomly happened to be Pink from "Red N Pink", a band my friend plays
