Party Mix

Monday, April 7th, 2008

More wine than can be reasonably drunk, beer from the nearest off-license, as many bottles of cava has can be carried, a potent fruit punch – twice, *lots* of cake, even more friends, one surprise special guest. Mix well, do not shake.
Pictures: to follow
Lovely: to see you all
Still: definitely only 21.

Fast Forward

Sunday, December 16th, 2007

Read Harry Potter - in a week; House-hunt - it was stressful; go to Lisbon - it was lovely; move out of SJW ; move in with Boy ; go to Ikea - a lot; go to Boston, Mass - drink champagne and eat fries in the Four Seasons; go to New York […]

A dry spell

Thursday, May 31st, 2007

I haven’t had a drink since Sunday night - not a single glass of wine or a sniff of a gin and tonic has passed my lips. It was a sort of deliberate attempt to be nicer to myself for a week or so, I was going to go to bed early, eat more […]

Partytastic

Monday, January 15th, 2007

First there was New Years - an entirely civilised affair with good friends, good olives and champagne….
Then there was Laurie’s leaving party - where the cool kids hung out in the kitchen and talked about cups of tea and jam sandwhiches…
And on Saturday there was Matt’s Birthday party which was twistertastic
Photos: in the […]

Procrastination

Tuesday, August 22nd, 2006

I am demonstrably not packing to go home, nor tidying ahead of the move, nor cleaning my bathroom, nor cooking my tea, nor filling in job applications but instead putting up pics from the weekend - hurrah!
Days left at work 1:
Days until the move: 7
Maybe: I’ll go cook my tea now

Step back in time…

Monday, August 14th, 2006

…To Saturday when Boy and I played in Nottinghill and Kensington Gardens (the western end of Hyde Park) - we were playing at being young, posh and Tory
…To last weekend and mine and Will’s Leamington tripette.
…To student days, now over three years ago!
…To 6th form where French M and I were stuck in […]

Pimms, originally uploaded by London Girl.

Apparently, there is some sort of football tournament on at the moment. However we had much more important things to do this weekend, namely drinking pimms in the park […]

How very British

Thursday, May 18th, 2006

In the traditional approach to a British summer, a mixture of hope agianst hope for sunshine and yet acceptance of the inevitable rain, we found ourselves sat outside the pub last night. Wearing our lightest summer jackets, we were drinking pimms for the girls and pints of bitter for the boys, as […]

Enough Already!

Sunday, May 14th, 2006

An incidental post about how my life has changed since I used to do and know about the things that I consider/ed cool and how actually thats alright, seems to have touched on a nerve.
For the record - none of the things I mentioned (myspace, grime etc) were meant to be referenced as […]
