Getting massages in the pub :) That was cool. Martha, one of the previous flatmates came down from Brighton for the night. Her, Laurence and I met in the Wetherspoons pub in Angel and had a couple of drinks and a massage! It was good, I got the masseur's phone number and we going salsa dancing next week! So Friday it was acrobatics in the lounge room! We didn't really go anywhere but we made our own fun. After yummy curry at Indian Veg in Angel, Laurence and I rode home while Martha caught the bus and we all met at The Eclipse (the local pub) on our street a couple of blocks away. Stefan and Rose came up to the pub and met us there which was lovely. Then off home... boogied the night away, acrobatics it was, drawing games and poetry! What a laugh :) It's the game where you write a line and then pass the piece of paper to the next person... very funny some of the stuff that came out (I guess it's one of those things though when you had to be there!)

Woke up the next morning feeling pretty damn good considering!We all rode our bikes down through London Fields. Laurence stayed at the pub to begin with while Rose, Stefan and I went to Broadway Markets and tasted lots of yummy things, had coffee... Rose and I bought these really cool bike lights which fit into your handle bar. The guy who was selling them was the inventor! We had coffee and mosied around. Stefan is good girl company when it comes to shopping and sightseeing. Laurence eventually joined us again afer Man United started losing and then we rode after Man United started losing.We then rode to Hackney Central and bought a corner shelf for Rose's room.

Later that night we went to a house party of one of Laurence's friends in Tower Hamlets. It was really lovely! Laurence chatted to one of the girls from work while Stefan, Rose and I had D&M's around the open fire in the lounge room for a while! Then we migrated to outside where I made Rose sit in the dirt with me (not realising quite how dirty it was when we first sat down!), then it was all of us in the kitchen where there was a live DJ, cutting it loose on the dance floor..We went and got falafel at one stage for Rose. I had a taste and I remember thinking it tasted like the best falafel ever! Stefan, Rose and I rode home and left Laurence with his missie friend who we were all sure of he was gonna score with that night, but alas, he wasn't even conscious of her hints or internations at the time! Oh dear, on further deliberation afterwards, we were sure she was hot for it but Laurence wasn't clever enought to notice! Anyway... great weekend! Sunday night we went to the canal pub and had a few drinks there. I spent most of the day cleaning up getting  ready for the new week! Top fun, no doubt about it!
