Hey all,

Well looks like Mondays are now my days to get a chance to type and get all the domestic godess duties done! My weekends are so busy!! Hehe, actually I'm usually just too lazy or hung over these days. Now I'm sitting at the kitchen table drinking a beer and waiting for dinner, and I'll do the washing tomorrow!

So, my week... mmm lets see, Monday was just recovery from Sunday at the walkie (Tash and I are going to ask for VIP memberships soon!). I just went home and to bed early!

Tuesday was also pretty uneventful, except Tim left London, so had a goodbye beer at lunch with him. Was crap to say cheers to one of my drinking buddies, but I can assure you I have had no problems finding some more drinking buddies!! So that was all for Tuesday.

Wednesday was yet another normal work day, but we all had a pretty busy day, with everything going wrong, so we decided to go for a drink or 2 and we went to a pub on Charlotte street down the road from us. My boss and one of his friends joined us later and of course, thats were the wheels fell off. Ended up 1 bottle of wine, 3 smirnoff ice's and 3 tequilas later at the Walkabout! Oh, I never will go out with Kirsty again (she is always the Tequila Fiend!) and Natasha just causes nonsense! hehe. Well we did have alot of fun and ended up at home at 2 on a school night.

Spent Thursday thinking it was Friday (I usually have the hangover on a Friday!) and just took the day easy, the bosses were all out at meetings, so just caught up on filing and all that boring mindless stuff. Then, to perk up the day I got my laptop! Wow, so pretty and small! I haven't got it properly set up yet, cos the guys at home are all away, and I need them to set it up for me, but its so shiny and new and small. Its a Dell Latitude X1! So sexy, I'm really happy with it.

Friday was also the same, just hanging around at work, waiting for beer fridge to open (hehe, you must think I'm an alcoholic!!) Anyways, Caroline called me on Thursday saying she was in london, so I went to the station to meet up with her. We went home and we just caught up on things. We had a fairly early evening and relaxed.

Saturday morning we went to the Rugby at the (yes, you guessed it) WalkAbout. Was a cool game and there was alot of playfulness between the Aussies and Kiwi's untill the end at least! I was supporting Australia, but was well impressed (and scared for us next week) with the kiwis! We then went to South Africa day. I won't lie to you, but it was so disappointing! It was raining, it cost £12 to get in, there was one tent, and we had to travel to Surrey (outside zone 6) to get there, although we did do the typical brit thing and bought a few long tom beers and drank them on the train! They had 3 SA bands, who were okay. Tweak played, which was cool, but they played alot of their new stuff and it was quiet heavy, so wasn't the greatest. I didn't like their new guitarist! Anyways, we left about 7. On the way out there was some rides and games. There was all these people putting on Sumo wrestler suits and beating each other up, it was really funny. Caroline and I eneded up in the mud wrestleing each other without the suits! Hehe, my butt is still bruised from that! I was happy though that I got Castle and DroeWors and Biltong, and was surrounded by Safa instead of aussies for a change :). I also saw some friends from home who I haven't seen in years.

We stopped off at Wimbledom Walkie (this is actually embarassing how many times I have mentioned the walkie!). Had a few drinks there then moved on home. Sunday Caroline and I did the London Tourist thing and walked around the whole place. I have plenty blisters today, and suffered today a bit. But its fine, saw a few more things I haven't seen yet. Although there is still plenty I need to do before I can say I have seen London! We then met Natasha in Shepards bush and had a yummy roast at the Wetherspoons. Got home about 11. Didn't sleep very well, so today has been a Zombie day!

I met Caroline after work and we went to the Gherkin (its a building in the city that looks like a gherkin (or something else, depending on how dirty your mind is)). It really shows the mixture of old and new when you go there. It is built next to this old church and the Gherkin is just glass and steel. It was quiet something.

Well now I'm here, finished dinner, finished beer and wanting bed. Have lots planned for this weekend again, its going to be a good one again. Me and my partner in crime (Tash) have big plans. Anyways, I'll leave that info for next week. I also will have some pictures to down load soon, which I will do when my laptop is up and running. Don't forget to leave a comment if you want (just click on comment and type). Looking forward to Janines return too, very jealous of her travels, but that will be me shortly!

Hope all is well there, I'm missing home and all of you.

Lots of love

Danielle
