On Friday, my friend Richard turned another year older (for
his sake, I will keep the all-important number under wraps) so to celebrate, we
had a barbecue party for him at the flat. In summary, there was a lot of food, even more alcohol, fab
company and lots of laughter. We had the best night which some of us finished
in Wimbledon town centre in Po Na Na (a decent club with outrageously
overpriced drinks). Everyone crashed at the flat and Saturday morning was spent
cleaning up and recovering.

In the afternoon, I met with Edita and Donatas, along with a
friend of theirs. It was Donatas’ birthday earlier in the week so we celebrated
by grabbing some drinks and snacks in a pub in Shepherd’s Market and later took
a very long walk along embankment. It turned out to be a very relaxing
afternoon which ended at home with movies and leftover BBQ food at the flat.
Sunday was spent bonding with my awesome housemates – Natz and
Mark. In the morning we went to a golf driving range in Merton. Mark wanted to
practice a bit and myself and Natz decided to crash his trip. It was my first
attempt at golfing (outside of crazy golf, of course) and whilst I was
shockingly awful, I had a great time. We managed to grab some cold drinks and
enjoy the sun before returning home and having another BBQ for lunch. In the
evening we walked around Wimbledon Common which was also a first for me and so
relaxing – the perfect end to an amazing weekend!
This week has been filled with training sessions in Old
Street, work on Fleet Street and a Silk’s Party at St Pancras Renaissance Hotel
(if you can, you have to visit! It’s
an absolutely stunning hotel and even if you can’t stay at a 5* hotel, you can
always grab an after work drink!). I took Friday afternoon off and spent it
with my mum. We went to Covent Garden for some Pimms at Punch & Judy, had
sushi at Itsu and then finished the evening in a Starbucks by Charing Cross.
Yesterday, I made the most of the gorgeous weather by
heading down to Brighton. Richard was my tour guide for the day and we spent
the day enjoying the sun, having some fish and chips and generally touring the
city. Towards the evening, we headed back to London to yet another BBQ! We had
a very chilled evening with some amazing Portuguese-inspired food (thanks to
our friend Antonio!)

Today, after a huge brunch at Whetherspoons with the guys, I
enjoyed the sunshine at Wimbledon Park and spent the rest of the day sorting
myself out, mainly by cleaning my room (much overdue!)
And now, it’s movie-time
with the housemates and an early night for me.
Hope everyone has an amazing week!
Muah,
