A Weekend of Action and a Weekend of Rest!
The weekend 2 weeks ago was good fun! On Saturday I went down and wandered around the Tate Modern art gallery with Daniela (who I hadn’t seen since I left Barclays 3 years ago). The Rothko exhibition looked a bit strange (funny) at first (and it was!) but actually on closer inspection it was actually really interesting. Then we got a bit list and found other exhibitions – all were really good. We only saw a small part of the Tate Modern and I’d like to go back sometime.
Then in the evening I met up with Martin, Emma, Time and Louise as they walked to the hotel and on the way there we saw Vernon Tomlin from Coronation Street walk past us! Only Emma and I recognised him – the others Obviously aren’t Coronation Street fans!
Then we got changed into our superhero costumes (I was the Flash), got into a taxi and made our way to the Verve club.
The Verve Bar/Club
We couldn’t even get into the club without getting stopped by people outside asking us to pose with them and taking photos of us! It was really funny.
Then we went into the club and went into the private room at the back – but that didn’t stop some people sneakily coming back there and asking us to pose! Lots of photos of everyone on Paul and Nat’s website.
After a night of fun and frollics, 5 of us walked (yes walked!) back to the hotel – still in costume and getting a lot of attention at 2.30am!
Then in the morning I got up nice and early (well, 10am) and looked around Leicester Square, China Town and Covent Garden which was really nice. The others slept in until they were just about to be thrown out of the hotel at 12pm lol.
Last wekend was a lot more relaxing. I took a day off of work on Friday and I completed laying the gravel in the front of my house – that looks much better now. On Saturday I watched the first half of Sweeny Todd (and I fell asleep so didn’t see the 2nd half). On Sunday afternoon I went to the gym (Birmingham Half Marathon in 2 weeks time!).
