Well, it’s been an insanely busy last week and I’m just going to make a list of things that happened in the (overly optimistic) hope that I will have the chance to come back to each thing to elaborate.
Thursday – went dancing with Sarah and Steve and Sarah took more video recordings of us dancing; hopefully I can get those up soon. Learned a really snazzy new lift during the class that night which was fun.
Friday – went out to dinner with a friend who graduated the year above me at Colby and is now also living in London. Tested out a brilliant Cuban restaurant called the Floridita which had live salsa music and great food. Ended up staying out until nearly 2am with dinner and dancing and then the bus home through amazing London at night.
Saturday – went on a long walk and shopping on the nearby high street; got a nice new winter coat, a sweater and new shirt, also got a non-stick fry pan and (FINALLY) US-style measuring cups for cooking. Then Sarah and Steve came over for dinner and I cooked pizza, potato salad, hummus and toasted tortillas and baked brownies for dessert.
Sunday – meet up with Sarah and Steve (these poor people, I know. I really need to expand my social circle; they’re going to get so sick of me) for Apple Day at the Borough Market for some delicious food; headed up to the Brick Lane market for some general knick-knack oogling; came home and made spaghetti and a delicious tomato sauce.
Next week is going to be crazy at work as well; the weekend is Halloween; and then the following Thursday I leave for Munich. Yikes… I don’t know how I’m going to fit it all in!
