Weekend

A fun filled weekend. The Leonard Cohen concert on Friday was amazing, all 2.5 hours of it. Amazing how a man his age can still perform like that. He had an amazing band, sang all my fav songs and I was really moved by it all. Amazing, to use that word for a fourth time...

Then yesterday was my introduction to Twickenham. Pub, Hodge's (a mate of a mate who lives near the grounds with his wife and three gorgeous daughters), match, Hodge's, pub. Then Burger King on the way home. Keeping up with Australian men is not a clever thing, as my hangover told me this morning. Must have had about ten pints. 30 laps in the pool and 10 minutes in the steam room got rid of most of the hangover but I still feel a bit rough.

Stuff

Leonard Cohen gig, England-Australia @ Twickenham, another dinner at the Commonwealth club, Annie Leibovitz exhibition, Manon (a ballet) , Donovan Frankenreiter gig and a daytrip to Brighton. All in the next two weeks. How exciting!!

Long weekend

Pakistani dinner with Amsterdam friends (a very serious looking Sat in the pic on the left), running, swimming, aerobics and a music festival in Clapham Common (Loaded in the Park, with Kate Nash and loads of DJ's whose names I didn't quite get) were the highlights of this bank holiday weekend. Ah, and shopping. A gift from my nan bought me a gorgeous classic leather bag, a pair of knitted Ugg boots and Jo Malone's Wild Fig and Cassis cologne. One happy girl. Having just done 36 laps in the pool, I am quite sure the rest of my day will be spent on the couch. All relaxed and grateful for many things.
