This year hasn't started off that nicely. I'm ill (head full of sawdust and swollen throat), I'm stressed out from my applications (I can't seem to finish them) and feeling exam-angst (I know NOTHING). At least the end of 2006 was nice.
I arrived in London on Friday just in time for lunch with Linus and James. We went to a nice Tapas place and had lots of tasty dishes. I ordered with correct pronunciation, we ate with gusto and the waitress (bona fide Spanish gal) was as nice as can be. We learnt that "la quenta por favor" for the bill is not the only way to say it - you can also ask for "la dolorosa" (the painful one). Have to love expressions like those. Shopping (winter sales!) didn't go very well- couldn't find much of interest - but managed to buy a dress at Monsoon for New Years Eve. We celebrated the coming of a new year in West India Quay with Anna, Jamie, Aster, Adrian, Chris, Rosie and many more. Very pleasant. Now it's time for serious business - all work and no play.
Will post pics soon.
