These
past two weeks I have managed to actually go out and about a bit but my purse
and work load are most definitely feeling it.
Anyway
it started with going into London with some friends for a friends birthday for
a meal and a show, both of which were amazing.
We
ate at Sarastro an Opera themed restaurant it is hard to describe the interior
but it was amazing, it was a bit like walking into a theatre/antique shop with Turkish/French/Italian
influences. Though be warned the toilets are X-rated. Also the food was amazing!
I will definitely be heading back there as soon as possible!

For
the show we went to see ‘Singing in the Rain’ which was so good despite the
fact I have never seen
the film (I know I know!)

Then
the day after we went to the Barbican Centre to visit the Rain Room which is a
room where basically you can almost control the weather, you walk around in the
rain but don’t get wet! It did take almost 2 hours to get in so do be prepared
for a wait but is was a manageable wait in the warm and we kept taking turns to
leave the queue to go and replenish our supplies (There was a Martini Bar!) and
the exhibition was free which was an added bonus. I definitely was glad I did
it as I had never experienced something like that before and don’t think I ever
will (unfortunately... if only you could actually control the rain...)

Then a few days after
I was back in London to see the Mystery Jets as the Royal Festival Hall in the
Southbank Centre. Needless to say they were amazing (I wasn’t able to take
pictures of my outfit,, you can kind of see it a bit in the pictures, pink
jumper, huge purple necklace, leather skirt and of course brothel creepers).
But we before the gig we went to Wahaca (link), the Southbank experience which is a
pop up restaurant on the Southbank and the food was SO GOOD, I was in cocktail,
taco, quesadilla and churro HEAVEN. I will definitely be heading back (they
also have a couple of permanent restaurants but I prefer eating in shipping
containers) and I am also determined to sample their extensive tequila bar and
try their ‘Tequila Experience’.

| YUM. |
We
also had enough time to quickly visit the Christmas Market on the Southbank and
of course have some Gluhwine !
Then
general shenanigans on a Saturday night followed on the day after with our
houses Christmas meal. WE PULLED IT OFF (ok it was two hours late but
everything was cooked to perfection) YUM. Followed of course by present
opening, mulled wine, chocolate log, cheeseboard (fancy) and general
merriment/lunacy.
Now.
To get back to work.....
