M and I went to the Swedish church last night, where they showed Melodifestivalen - the Swedish part of the Eurovision Song Contest. The place was absolutely packed, with a great atmosphere.* Went out afterwards with a big group of other Swedes, first to a bar, and then on to a restaurant. Got home at around 2.30, and, as you could probably guess, slept till lunch time today. But today has been such a beautiful day - sunny and warm. So Tim, M and I went down the street and had brunch at a local cafe. (Greasy food was high on our priority list, but as they were out of burgers I had a tuna baguette instead, but perfect brunch food.)
Tim and I then decided to go for a walk, and went down to Brixton.

I have been to the area a few times before (as it has the closest Argos), but last time we tried to visit the market it was absolutely pouring down, and we left rather quickly. But today was a perfect day for just strolling around. Of course, the actual market is not open on Sundays, but all the butchers, green grocers and fishmongers were still open. We became really excited, and ended up buying a kilo of really amazing beef for stews for only £3! And then a big bag of assorted veggies for £1.40! We are sooo going back there more often to do more shopping.
So, when we got back home Tim made a super yummy beef bourguignon (yes, I had to look up the spelling on that one). It was such a perfect ending to the weekend!
