JUST A NORMAL WEEKEND!!!!!!!


Now you know me, and how when I do something I do it at breakneck speed with as much as possible crammed in to make it worthwhile. Well this coming weekend is no exception.

Going off to Oxford tomorrow night, after work to stay overnight with old friends, so as to save some travelling time the next day.

Friday drive to where my son lives in London and park my car and walk away.
Sort myself out on the tube and get from west London to North to meet the lovely Mei, who seems to have stopped blogging, but not stopped being a mate.

Quick lunch with her and then back into centre to go and meet Absolute Vanilla (Nicky) who is over from South Africa. And has organised a grand meeting of folk. So she will be the sounds of it, be able to give us all five minutes before someone else wants to say hello to her.

Back to Mei's for the night, and a breather as I don't then have to be anywhere till Saturday afternoon when I met up with my cousin for a bite to eat.

Leaving him in time to go back to west London to see Kit, who will have arrived back from Paris by 8pm.

Sunday I'll phone up CheekyDani and if she's around we are going to try and met for coffee. Otherwise it's off to Kew gardens with Kit and I'm going to meet his girlfriend for the first time.

Lunch will be at a pub by the Thames near Kew bridge, and then I can get in my conveniently parked car and drive home. So saving me a ridiculous four hour train journey that involves 4 changes cause it's Sunday and the rail network is dug up so increasing journey length by three hours.

Then I get a bank holiday to recover on Monday and to plan my next jaunt..... Philadelphia three weeks later!!! Which I really hope I my beloved friend Sorrow can get to for a few days ( no pressure then hon!!!)

Pic is off my eldest looking suitably bored with me for taking yet another pic.With Big Ben and the South African Embassy (that's apt!!) in the background taken in Trafalgar Square on the steps of the National gallery

Wonderful! enjoy your sociable weekend, and great that you will be able to meet Nicky! So sorry I couldn't have met up with you a few weeks back.. would've been great (sigh). I love that photo - poor long suffering lads, I have several similar bored posed young men photos! xx

Angela said...

Yes, tell us all about it afterwards! My, what a schedule! I especially want to know how Nicky coped with all her friends and admirers! And if you got a chance!

Rosaria Williams said...

Wow, I'm tired already.( I see Dave shares my age-related response). Say hi to Nicki from me. You are lucky to make both virtual and real friends.

Helen said...

.. smashing photo! Sounds like a trek I would love to take. Enjoy.

Sorrow said...

Oh no

He is such a handsome bloke, even if he does have that sardonic bored look.

I need to take a few lessons from you in how to cram as much into living as possible.
You are amazing..I am exhausted just reading your list!

Good grief you're a busy woman!

Sounds like a great time though. What fun to actually have been able to meet and get to know some of your blog friends in person.
