Back to the Grind!

The highlight of the week was Friday night, for Christine, as she went to the Christmas drinks for one of her teaching agencies. Starting at about four she was served up free drinks for most of the night, but didn’t have time to grab dinner! She had a great night apparently!
After a busy week at work including working on Saturday again, we took it pretty easy over the weekend. Saturday night we went for a walk down one of the streets in the area and found a little Thai place for dinner.

Sunday was a bit more adventurous, heading out for a spot of shopping, including starting to look for some ski gear. Seems like its just as cheap to buy it over here rather than to hire it all. We then headed to the borough market, except found that it was closed on Sundays. We continued along the Thames River to the London Eye, where there is another Christmas Market. We wandered along, ate burgers and drank hot mulled wine.
It was then back home for a few hours before heading to Gloucester road to meet Malcolm and Irma in the pub. They had just had a few days in Paris and were in town for the night before hiring a car and exploring England and Wales. We headed back to the casino for dinner and drinks, the food is good, by London standards, and cheap using the half price coupons.
