This week has been pretty dull really. Were both working hard, getting home late, after a slow and dirty tube ride, feeling pretty tired, having a few drinks in the common room and getting ready to do the same all over again. Live for the weekend, well almost, Damo had to work Saturday. Well he was asked to work and said he would, getting paid a daily rate so every little bit helps.
Saturday Christine met up with Julia and headed to the markets under London bridge. Lots of good food apparently. We all met up at about 5pm, in the cold, wet and dark. We headed to the closest pub we could find where the girls warmed up with hot mulled wines, and Damien had a few pints of Guinness.
Sunday was our first wedding anniversary! Guess what, it rained in London and Melbourne, just like one year ago! Our plan of heading to Hyde park was cancelled, instead we went down Oxford St for a bit of shopping. After getting a few basics and nothing exciting, we were driven out by the hordes of people!
We had a lovely dinner at a modern Thai restaurant called Mango Tree. Christine looked smashing and Damien wore his work clothes! This started with cocktails at the bar and then after being seated and staring at the menu for 10 minutes we ordered the same as always, Pad Thai and Green Chicken Curry! A few wines and then a dessert which was pretty average.
Is there a better way to end a nice night than to have to walk in the freezing cold rain back to the station before jumping on a dirty over crowded train?
