(2) Weeks in Photos...

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!

Phantom of the Opera (Restaurant)

Risqué

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.....
