Girls weekend out...

Friend Kitty Cat, who I haven't seen since New York came down from Coventry last weekend to visit Jo & I. It was so great to catch up with her at last!! Friday night was chilled, besides chatting late into the night about anything and everything. Saturday we spent the day in Camden Town, all in perfect market mood & spending cash on not entirely necessary trinkety things. We found a stunning moroccan cafe to have a £4 lunch in, along with some fresh mint tea served in tea glasses from an antique silver tea pot. In bus on the way to Camden town...


On Saturday night we headed for Guanabara, a brazillian bar that I have been hearing about for ages. We waited in the queue in the freezing cold for over an hour ( i think) and so many times nearly just left...but it was so worth the wait!! It has such a vibe and energy, great music, great friendly people and no shortage of diversity. It ended up being a longer and more fun evening than anticipated, and we finally got to bed after 5am...should've been getting up for the 'supper'. hah! After a few Bramha's...

After sleeping 3 in my bed again, we woke up Sunday morning about 10, sleep deprivation and headaches kicking in, but still got to Portobello Market, where we discovered we had the wrong day for market, and were anyhow not in the least in market mood. So we found coffee republic & hid from the world, where Bryony came to join us. On Sunday arvo we headed for 1001 in Brick Lane, to meet some of JoJo's friends and after swearing we never wanted to drink again we got stuck into Brazillian beer, again... Bryony's dad, Laurie, and his girlfriend, Jess, popped in for a surprise visit and drink and I managed to get a photo of the 3 of them! Thankfully it was not too late or too hectic a night and I managed to be in bed by 11.

Quite a raucous weekend though, and the one coming doesn't look promisingly quiet either, what with St Paddys day and all!! But I am meeting up with Mike's parents on Saturday...don't know if i'm looking forward to it or not...sometimes the emotions are just to intense to speak about him too much...part of the process I guess.

With much love from the Wander-ling!
