weekend round-up

i've been a bit slack on the updates i know.

thursday i was forced to leave work at 3 pm by my line manager jen as she wanted to be sure i took some time off after the craziness of the week before. so i headed out and did all of my christmas shopping. i bought the most amazing and hysterical t-shirts for my nieces and nephews...too cute. and i'm loving the discount i get at the museum shops. a world museum liverpool yo-yo anyone?

friday i woke up feeling absolutely wretched. i was sweaty, shaking, hot, cold, nausea, headache and just generally crappy. i spent the better part of the day in bed or on the couch, but by saturday morning i was feeling fine.

saturday i went to view some houses with kelly - sam's sister - who's actually put an offer on a house just down the street from us! how amazing would that be? i wandered down to the tate to check out the latin american exhibit and then came back home for some dinner. kelly, dipak, nole, doug (yes, they actually use canada's most popular male name here!) and i went out for a pub night. we didn't want to go anywhere posh. ran into a bunch of peeps at le bateau and had a really good night. we ended up sitting around at kelly's chatting until 4 am so i just stayed the night there.

sunday we were shattered, but dipak, kelly and i met sam for lunch at tabac. it's my all-time favorite cafe/restaurant/coffee bar in town...the melted brie sandwich is to die for. the rest of the day was quiet as john came to pick dipak, kelly and sam up to go to the airport. they are all in spain visiting sam's folks.

...still sleepy this morning, but i'm determined to catch up on my sleep this week. hopefully it will be a quiet one cause sam & kelly are outta town.
