Well, this has been a rather interesting weekend. I found myself in London and I had a tremendous time...
Lets start on Thursday actually, I went out for a leaving dinner with my team from work. One of our student interns was leaving so we all went out for dinner and drinks which was nice. It was a really nice evening out, very civilised and lots of banter. Over the course of the evening we realised that one of the guys we work with is all mouth and no trousers; and that he could well either be a smuggler or an arms dealer as he often receives "packages" in the mornings and so works from home; he also spends a ridiculous amount of money on his girlfriend... so therefore our logic decided that he's pretty much an arms dealer - probably a good person to know in this day and age...
Friday I had a long long day at work, and ended up going for just a couple of drinks afterwards. It was a fairly low key night as I had to be up early on Saturday morning to help my sister move all her stuff back home.
So Saturday was not great fun, I woke up early, lugged boxes, suitcases and furniture around - and then spent the rest of the day organising, and moving boxes and other stuff around and didn't even get time to really put this stuff away in the attic - which I'll have to do this week instead. This meant that I was too late to meet some old uni friends, which was really annoying as I got bogged down with all this instead. Especially when one of the guys was down from Scotland only for this weekend, and it was my mate's birthday too...
So Sunday, well this was the best and most interesting day, I met up with my sister and her boyfriend and we went for some lunch. The reason we were meeting up was because I had found a website through facebook that was about being half-Japanese. Its called Hafu and the ladies running it were having a photo shoot for an exhibition - this has been running for a while, but it was really good to find out about this and get involved this time around.
We turned up at someone's house and after some brief introductions to some lovely people we had our photos taken professionally. Although I was told that my posture is bad, that I slouch, and that my head is slightly tilted to the right it was great fun. We met some great people and hopefully there will be more events coming up this summer that we can get involved with. What I am really looking forward to is seeing my portrait in a gallery...
The cherry on the top of this weekend was the greatest cupcake in the world. The pic at the top shows a version of the cake that almost made me cry when it was all gone... It was from Candy Cakes and I am unashamedly able to say it was the greatest the world has known. I know now where I will be going next time I'm in London...
Oh and I only had one drink this weekend on Sunday with my sister - so that was allowed... every other day - it was water all the way.
Not drinking is easy...
