Long Weekend
If only!
So I caught up with Muz and his mate Brent and went to see A life in the theatre, which was OK but made me want slightly different direction. We then went out for curry afterwards (even though I was full having eaten before - but that's just rude to not join in) which I thought was quite so-so, though the eggplant was very nice (I've discovered that I really like eggplant now - though I suspect it has to be well cooked)
Sunday I met up with Jo for breakfast and ate too much again, and she got her eggs done wrongly (sunny side down, yolk broken - NO LIQUID PLEASE!). Then we headed to Canada Wharf (just across from canary) to 'Decatholon' and spent WAY to much money on sports equipment.
I got; pants, rollerblades and gloves, pilates mat, squash racket. Jo expressed an interest in squash, so I thought I'd take her up on that as I love the game.
We then headed off to Hyde park for a rollerblade - Jo saw my room for the first time :) She took her new roller-skates, and me my blades. I fell over twice, and still don't feel any better at the sport :(
I then rushed off to my first London Capoeira lesson at 4:30, having had no lunch, and had a great time. Only one blister, no fainting because of hunger, and people seemed to be quite impressed with my 5killz. I suspect this is because the individual moves look quite good on my lanky, dance-trained body, just wait for when I start trying to string them together, or dodging under people's attacks.
Then back home for a quick dinner before meeting up with Jo and friends for drinks - only to get a phone call just as the microwave finished asking where I was, they were waiting to order food! So food in the fridge, and I rushed off to eat dinner with Jo, Vanessa, Ann and Michelle (I think, Jo correct me please!).

You're spot on: Vanessa (who works with me here in London while on secondment)+ Anne & Michelle (two great Aussie friends I have met since being over here). Good memory!
...And I do think you're getting better at blading :-)
