Super Saturday!

Oh, we've had such a nice and relaxing beginning to the weekend

Yesterday, we went out for a few drinks after work with a few of Tim's colleagues. M joined us a bit later, and we went to a Chinese place for some simple (and cheap) food. Went on to a pub, where Tim - who was very tired - left us to talk about flowers and pink things and butterflies and periods and make up and all those other things we girls normally talk about.

Slept in this morning, and then went to Clapham Common (pic from Wikipedia).

Clapham is one of my new discoveries, not far from here - a 20 min walk further south. The common is, well, green and nice. There are some really nice houses around, and loads of trendy restaurants and fancy stores* and (towards Stockwell) the normal chains. We bought ourselves some sweets and drinks, and placed on in the sun in the middle of the Common. Absolutely gorgeous day - 18 degrees and sunny. Tim fell asleep on the grass, and I sat and studied the people around us. Headed back home at around five, and went upstairs, as we had been invited to dinner by our landlords. She had made some really nice slow cooked belly pork with roasted potatoes. Yummy! And then some nice wine on top, and a apple cake to end the meal. Lovely! And now we're about to watch the extended version of Alien vs. Predator...



*Among them one of the best butchers in London. It is very inspirational to look around in the shop (they really have some nice looking meats), but it's not exactly our price class. £30 for a chicken is hardly what I'm willing to spend... And, yes, I'm sure it's all locally produced, and ecological, and the chickens were happy and sang Kumbaya with the farmer - I'm still not paying that for a chicken!
