Last Week of November

The last week has been really fun. Yesterday I went to Hyde Park Roller Blading followed by Karen’s number one sport, “shopping” on Brompton Road. Even through I am sad to say I have almost been here three months, this was my first Trip. I did n’t buy anything at Harrods even through they have everything you could image as they sell real fur, which leaves me baffled as to why the bother to sell Free Range eggs. But the Desserts did look amazing. Harvey Nichols was also Fab but still way to much choice.

Last night I went out to dinner at Convent Garden to an outside restaurant beside the Big Christmas Tree with a Girl Friend from the Pharmacy and she bought along Dot also a Lawyer. Nothing better than talking about the things that drive you crazy about this country, over pasta and a glass of Australian wine.

Today Wimbledon Village had a Russian Fair with a portable Ice Ring, (think our portable Damps are better) but eating fairy Floss with gloves, ear muffs knee high boots over the top of my jeans, I managed to pat so many Black and Chocolate Labradors and a number of Cocker Spaniels as well, very happy also rather crisp but still lots of fun.

Am I immature if ever time I get on a train going to Cockfosters I have to giggle: )

The Three days away with work where also lots of fun. Fawsley Hall (http://www.fawsleyhall.com/ )was just amazing. To keep it short the parts I am still laughing over:-
(1) The First night sitting up till 2.30 am with my immediate small Team and then having these two ladies who had gotten married to each other here six months ago sit down and chat with us and then one of my team members spill their glass of red wine over themselves (Had only packed one pair of pants) and then one of the ladies picked up a glass of white wine and poured it all over the stain and everywhere else. (Didn’t say anything, just pored) Guess you had to be there to see it. : )

(2) Thursday night was formal dinner, having one of my Australian Colleges tell me I am getting old and need to think about getting married and that he is available. I told him I would put him down as a back up.

(3) Thursday night 3am Sneaking/walking towards the bathroom with the head of our Agency hoping we would look like we where going to the bathroom, instead of going upstairs to die/go to sleep, no way where we going to do an all nighter, especially as Friday Morning was Go-Carting at Oxford, (I am a sucky driver at the best of times and I was going to need all the help I could get) followed by lunch at this great Restaurant. http://www.fishesoxford.co.uk/

Its Sunday night which is normally party night at my house with lots people, lots of Curry and lots of Bollywood Music. We have the work Christmas Party on Monday night so guess I will be missing out on Big Boss (India Big Brother) in Hindi of course. So I had better go home.
