#5 end of may beg june cont.

So to write even more! I havent been up to too much the past few weeks really.... i took Spencer to get a needle the other day and he was a VERY brave boy! He barly cried.... but that could be because i popped a biscuit in his mouth immediatly after.

Also it has been very warm and sunny out latly!! its been wonderful! I think i even have a bit of a tan on my arms..... tho my legs are having a bit of trouble..... it might be time to hit the salon LOL...

I also went to Whitley last weekend to visit Steph! It was my first train ride ever and let me tell you trains are VERY confusing.... once you work out were you need to go and what platforms, etc and where to change trains if necessary then you can enjoy the nice air conditioned and even comfy seating. I studied my course most of the way there (its a two hour trip) and ate loads of chocolate covered raisens. The washrooms were SO cool! haha sounds rediculas saying that but really they were great! You press a button and the door opens, and it kinda slides into the wall and its like a half circle, then you press another button to close the door, and then one more to lock it..... very high tech!! also the soap and water and hand dryer are all motion detected too. Steph and greg met me at Swanwick station in perfect timing.... and then we had a LONG treck back to the hotel were they work. Its like a 25min walk... it took FOREVER.... but we did make it.... that night we went to the pub up the road... which closed at like 11.. SO early! esspecially cause it was the only pub in the whole town! ... we went up to Tescos and got more liquor (I got a 40 of Malibu... its the same price here as a 26) I learned how to play texas holdem.. i was pretty good but in the end just bet it all..... and lost haha!

The next day we went to starbucks for lunch and then looked around the french market... we also played badminton and then went to the duck pond.... the duck pond was really really cool... it was in the middle of a buissness centre and in the first section there was only one swan and no other bird... that swan was verry mean! There were warning signs up about him and he came towards you as if he was going to attack you! There were baby ducks (see pictures on facebook) and they were ADORABLE i wish i could have held them they were so precious looking. There were loads of ducks EVERYWHERE and swans too..... there were baby swans and i even fed one of the swans oout of my hands so that was really neat! I did get a photo of that too so thats good. There were also swans right up beside the buildings (shadding themselfs from the sun) though it did look as if they were 'window shopping'

When we got back we relaxxed for a while and then made tacos for dinner. They were delicious! We went out to South hampton that night so while getting ready we had a few predrinks and then once we were feeling pretty good we headed up to the pub to meet the others and cab to South hampton. Once we got to South Hampton we met up with some more people and went to a club called Orange.... the places was SO over crowded so we left and kind of split up... We (me, Steph, Greg, & Dale, and i think some otehrs went to Junk.... it was okay... deffinatly less crowded. Greg ended up getting kicked out for a reason we are yet to discouver.... so we left a bit earlier then general but it was deff a great night! we went home and drank some more. I ended up going to sleep around 530am ish... So it was not bad. The next day i woke up late and got ready slowly and packed up and then walked to the train station... Steph had to goto wwork. I had to wait at the train station for about 40min but after a long day of trains and busses i finally made it home! I had a hot bubble bath and deff. did not unpack (actually I just unpacked yesterday.... waited about 4 days LOL)


This week:

On monday i took Spencer up to the Angel and he went to the park on the slide, and swings, and this spining thing too! We played there for over an hour. That night i met up with Chris and we went for a VERY VERY long walk all around London basically here are some key spots we went to; Oxford street - Piccidilly circus - Trafaglar Square - Parliment square - Along the water in fron of the London eye -Along the water farther to the next bridge - Soho - Leciester square - new oxford street....

The Tuesday i met Julz for Lunch with Spencer at Garfunkles... we both had all you can eat salad bar. it was a really good salad bar i deff. enjoyed it... After me and Spencer went for a longg lonng (hour walk) walk we hopped on the bus and headed home... i didnt do much that night tho i did find out were to get rollerblades (which today i ordered from Tesco's)
Yesterday me and Spencer had a veggie day and didnt leave the house... the weather couldnt make up its mind... kinda like today so we stayed in...

#4 - End of May - Beg. of June

So these past few weeks have been verry action packed!

A few weeks ago me and Julz met some new friends and went out on Saturday morning shopping on Oxford street... we were there at TEN am!!! soo early! Then after shopping we went to this really really neat fair... it was huge.... they had really old slot machines, and carnival games, etc.. i also went on the old fashioned carisole with Julz, Jenny, & Victor... Victor did one of the hammer things to make the thing reach the top and he actually got it to the top two out of three times! After we had some really good cookies and then we all headed home to get ready to go out that night!
I think i prolly got home first considering there is a bus from practically everywhere in london that drops at me at my door step... I got ready and met everyong at piccidilly.. we found a club promoter to get cheap entry and went to Rainforest cafe.... for those of you that remember we use to have a rainforest cafe in metrotown... with all the trees, and stuff... well its the same here except its still open... at night the restraunt area turns into a night club.. It was really neat because of the decor, tho the music and crowd werent really my scene... and the drinks were VERY expensive .... As you might have guessed me and Julz left with Tori and Erin (two more girls from australia) and went to walk-about... its an australian bar/club that has really cheap drinks! It plays kinds older like 80's/90's music but its heaps of fun! I must admit tho it was verry hot inside! Me and julz got mackies and then headed home... my feet were killing me from the long day!

About two weeks ago Sandra, Jamie, and Spencer went away for the weekend to see Spencers grandad... That friday night i went out to Camden town which i found out was really close to my house... Its kind of a sketchy area... the area you go to get peircings and tattoos or to buy drugs... lol but if you know where to go then its really really fun! We first went to a pub called end of the world right by camden town tube and it was alright i guess... i mean the building was spectacular... but the music was tooo heavy metal for my taste. We just stayed for one drink and headed on to another place.. (cant remember the name) and had something call an illusion... i swear it was the whole bar in a jug... you could deffinatly feel the affects after some of that juice! After we went to this more posh place over the canel that was really nice! It was too bad we couldnt have our drinks out on the patio but me and anna and fran spent most of the time on the dance floor anyway! Around 12 we left there (it was very hot inside) and went to Barfly to see Sam Sparro live! I had never heard of him before but he has some really good songs; black & gold, and 21st century are deffiantly worth checking out! He was really good live! I was quite impressed. I wore heels out that night and my feet were hating me ALL the way home! I did eventually get there tho and it being my first night alone in the house i was kind of freaked out.... i mean ive been alone there but NEVER overnight.... i locked the bottom section from the inside (its one of those old style brass keys) and went to bed....

The next day i spent most of my time in bed until going and meeting julz at the angel around 4pm... We went to sainsbury and bought some grocerys for dinner, and snacking food for with our movies... we ate at mackies (mcdonalds) and then on our way home we rented ps. i love you... since we both hadnt seen it... That night we watched greese, and ps. i love you, also tuned in to see the end of britians got talent. It was like a sleep over from back home! It was really good to just kind of hang out and chat and things...
In the morning we got up and went up to the angel for a full english breakfast; sausage, beans, fried mushrooms, two eggs, four peices of taost, and bacon (ham)... it was deffinatly a first and a last for me... way too greasy! We also went and saw Sex in the City the movie! It was excellent... i never ever watched the tv program but i did love the movie! I spent the rest of the weekend studying my course (which by the way i got 100% on my first two exams and 90% on my third)
