One before last....

One down only one to go. Weekends that is.

This weekend was spent with friends, enjoying the weather and a few of London's fine institutions (i.e. the pub) .

Saturday, I willingly undertook a little self-hurt by getting my eyebrows shaped using an ancient persian technique called threading. Once my eyebrows were shaped we were ready to go and hit the town red (which we did) although we didn't get very far , ending up in "Clockwork" (down the road).

Sunday was spent strolling through Hyde Park with friends, trying desperately to burn off the succulent breakfast/brunch from Ottoemezzo. Although extremely pleasant, I managed to sprain my ankle in the process. The injury occured while undertaking the extremely risky "text while walking" manoeuver. Luckily, my ankles have become injury resistent with the years, or maybe the many ankle injuries I sustained playing basket ball have made me more resistent.

I also mustered enough strength to go for a run at St James Park. Proud of myself ? Yes, I am ! I actually think that I might be getting into this running thing. Forced into it when my gym subscription stopped (I call it the poor man's gym), I have surprised myself and actually enjoyed it.

I actually paid for a cinema ticket this weekend. What do I mean ? Well, I have been the happy owner of UGC card for the past two years, which I have used extensively and actually made a profit out of ! I recommend you see an excellent independent film called Waitress with the actress from Felicity (anyone remember Felicity?) . Although it is a romantic comedy it has a bit of an edge to it, which might appeal to cinema-goers that avoid rom-com like the plague (you know who you are!). The film got good reviews at the Sundance Film Festival. Sadly the director of the film Adrienne Shelly was murdered before the film was released.

Tonight, I will re-live my teenage years by watching Dirty Dancing in London's West End.
