It’s official. I now live with a BOY!!!!
I moved into Russ’s flat on the weekend and it’s weird.. weird because a) i don’t live with jayno any more and after 2 and a half years this is a massive readjustment. Jayno and I know how each other lives so well now and so it’s going to a bit strange for both of us i think. And b) I’m not as close to central London that i am used to also.
HOWEVER, it’s kinda fun. I feel a bit displaced at the moment, mainly because my stuff is still in boxes in the spare room . Hopefully the trip to IKEA this weekend will rectify this! We need lots more storage as i have accumulated a whole heap of stuff since moving here. I had to be a bit ruthless and chuck out a few things and some clothes, but the thing about that is that I now feel the need to go shopping and replace the things i chucked out! Oops!
Also, Dad was in town last week which was great. He was here for four days and it coincided nicely with Tom and Carolyn being in town too so there was a bit of a family gathering on Wednesday night at Max and Caryn’s. Russ passed the Dad test with flying colours and they got on almost a little too much for my liking!!
Jayne and I went to Barcelona the weekend after my birthday which was awesome. Pics to come shortly. As we had both been to Barcelona we really just wanted to see the things we missed and chill out. So Saturday we sat on the beach – it was 32 degrees! – and went swimming in the surprisingly warm waters. We got massages byu these crazy Filipino people, who clearly it was illegal because they kept dropping to the floor under the beach chairs when cops drove passed. Hilarious!!
So we ate and slept and drank. Went to a great place for dinner. The line for it was 1 hour long but worth it. Met a nice couple to chat to so it made the time go much more quickly. As did the little man that sold us cheap beers….
Sunday we went to the Park Guell which was absolutly stunning and potentially one of my favourite places so far. A nice stroll through the park atp the piazza to find a man playing the trumpet and old songs like Ke- Sera and that song from Breakfast at Tiffany’s eschoed across the park. It was beautiful.
Then onto Sagrada Familia which was amazing. The church is still no where near finished but it looks pretty cool!!
Then we found an amazing tapas bar and sat there for quite some time ordering everything we could. I think we ate about 9 or 10 dishes and beer and it came to a grand total of about £24!!! Hah! I love the pound!
Anyways, that’s me for the moment!!
I will put pictures up today or tomorrow
