For the second time in a week we missed out on Steak again! After work we headed to a pub in Shepherds Bush to meet Russ a friend we met on our Sail Croatia. It has been ages since we have seen him so we were looking forward to catching up. Apparently Tue is steak night at this pub. However shortly after we arrived, the bar man rang his big bell and announced that due to plumbing works next door, the water was being cut off. The toilets were closed, the kitchen was closed but they would still serve drinks! After a beer we headed across the road to an Asian restaurant that had food and toilets. Russ was good, great to catch up, he gave us a copy of the whitewater rafting photos from Croatia.
Damien finished up work a Lebara Mobile on Friday. It has worked out quite well, initially 3 month contract that was subsequently extended for an extra 2 months. Unfortunately it means there is a 1 month period without work, before our visa expires. We celebrated the occasion and Kirsty’s birthday in the Shoreditch area.
Damien wasn’t feeling great the next morning so he stayed in bed! Christine and Mel feeling a little bit more energetic, went for a stroll in the park. Its Dad’s birthday, happy birthday!
Saturday night we had another themed farewell party, this time black and white. It was to farewell Renee who is heading back to Aus as her visa has finished. It was quite an easy theme, Christine looked great in a black dress while Damien was able to wear his work suit.

Sunday was a really nice day. Christine this time elected to stay in bed, but Damien was up early, met Christy one of our friends who lives in the area. We headed down to St Pauls Cathedral for the Sunday morning service. St Paul’s is London’s other grand church, and we had only visited briefly previously. We were a bit early, allowing us time to have coffee outside beforehand. The service was good with a singing choir and the interior of the church amazing. 
Afterwards the sun was out, still a bit chilly, so we headed down to the Thames, had a look at Shakespeare’s Globe and then visited the Tate Modern. We walked along Southbank and had lunch in a little café. We finished in Trafalgar Square looking at the useless hippies camping there and the Olympic clock.
