Tennis, tennis everywhere…

It’s Monday yet again and the weekend has come and gone which was made all the better by this beautiful weather we’ve been having (happy sigh).

Having finished work on Friday, I went for some after-work drinks at the Old Bank of England pub on Fleet Street. The building is amazing (looks like a snazzy hotel rather than a pub) and we spent most of the time enjoying the weather on the roof garden over a couple of G & T’s. I then rushed home to grab a bite to eat before heading out to Wimbledon with Natz and Alex (who crashed at the flat). As per usual we headed to the Slug and once that closed stopped by at O’Neills which was a bit random but we danced about and had a fab time before heading off to Watershed. I had the best night!
After a bit of a lie in on Saturday, I headed out to Victoria and watched the women’s Wimbledon final in Cardinal Square. Having bought some picnic food from M&S, I enjoyed the lush weather and the atmosphere which was great with everyone really getting into the match (although the result was not the one I hoped for). With the match finished, I headed down to Hyde Park to meet Edita. We haven’t had a proper catch up in far too long! We spent the day, walking around the park and eventually ended up in London Bridge, in search of a pub with outside seating. We settled on Nicholson’s right on the river and enjoyed some Pimm’s with some chips and nachos (delicious!) The alcohol and sun combination meant that I got home absolutely shattered.
I spent my Sunday just how I like it – being lazy! I spent the morning running errands and realised what a mistake that was, with huge crowds at the station, heading up to watch the men’s final. I ventured up to Wimbledon (town centre) to watch the match on the big screen but there were far too many people and after being kicked and hit within a couple of minutes of getting there, I decided to head back to the flat and watch the match in the comfort of my own living room. I don’t intend to talk about tennis too much but it was an awesome match and the result far better than that of the women’s match.

I hope everyone had a successful Monday. Mine has been incredibly productive and I managed to enjoy the sun during my lunch break in the Inner Temple gardens (the perfect escape from the very busy Fleet Street).
Enjoy your week, everybody!

Muah,
