My land lady is out of town, so last wednesday night one of her friends looked in on me and took me out for dinner to 'make sure I was eating right'.. cute. Had a nice steak dinner on their tab, which is always a bonus.
Then on Thursday I had dinner with my half-brother Adam. He lives in Hong Kong but was flying through London (he's a pilot) and we met for a few hours of reconnecting. This was the third time in my life meeting him. We had a lot of fun and a lot of wine... connected? Anyway, nice to catch up!
Over the weekend I went visiting more family - my Mum's cousin Anne and her Husband Mike. They live down in Southampton near the coast. We spent the weekend driving around Hampshire, visiting lots of little villages. We went to the church where Florence Nightingale is burried, drove through an 'Area of Outstanding Beauty' (official title, but well earned), and poked around the shops of a small village called Selborne. On Sunday we drove down to Bornemouth via the New Forest and visited the Russell-Coates museum and gallery, which I must say was pretty insane - so well stocked!!!
Last night a group of interns celebrated one of their birthday's - we had drinks in Hyde Park and then dinner at a Lebanese restaurant. Tonight I'm having dinner with an acquaintence from home, and tomorrow night I'm meeting up with my new Kiwi friend to watch a movie!!Very exciting will be this coming weekend - I'm catching a flight over to Jersey, one of the Chanel Islands between England and France. A friend from my law degree (met at Cambridge) lives on the island and invited me to come stay... so I'm leaving work a tad early to get out to Gatwick and will be MIA all weekend... I'm really looking forward to it as I've heard Jersey is really nice.
