A good weekend!!!

I had high hopes for the weekend and it really lived up to expectations but in ways I hadn't expected. I slept in on Friday - day off work meant I didn't have to get up until I was ready, so I got up about half 8 and then dozed until 10-ish....I went into town and I saw my ring!!! It was exactly as I expected - the jewellers did such a good job and I'm so excited. So hopefully, Al's new credit card has now arrived and I can pick up the ring on Friday.

Then I toddled off into London and got myself to the hotel only to discover that the DLR was suspended Sat/Sun, so it was going to be replacement buses all weekend. Never mind, thought I, it'll be a nice way to see the capital. I didn't factor in the hangover factor on the Saturday, but never mind......

The gig on Fri night was brilliant -we really enjoyed ourselves and drank far too much followed by a manically expensive taxi ride back to the hotel - it was after 2am and we leaving the place, so no tube, but still - £30???? Thank God I don't live in London is all I say!

Sat was pretty much a wash out - it took us until one to get out of bed and til half 3 to make our way into town - although that was mainly cos of waiting for the replacement bus and then realising we were at the wrong bus stop. Not a good idea!! But we had a nice lunch in Nandos (Canary Wharf) and then Al bought himself a ukelele.......he got it into his head, I don't know why :) Still, while he was looking at ukeleles and other useful equipment, I was in heaven (in other words, Foyle's on Charing Cross Road). I was good though and didn't buy anything, but it was a close run thing.......

Sat night we watched some TV back at the hotel and had an early night - lovely!!! This morning we checked out just before 12, then went to Wagamama's in Canary Wharf for lunch (fantastic and the waitress was wonderful!!) before parting at London Bridge - me to Waterloo, him to St Pancras. I hate saying goodbye, but it just makes seeing him again all the sweeter.

Now? I'm settled in for a quiet night, probably a bath in the near future and sorting out food for the morning................ and lunch and find out what's gone off in the kitchen - I suspect the lemons, but I'm unsure. I'm so happy right now - I had a wonderful weekend, Al loves me, I love him and while we have that, we can do anything.
