Friday for Hinesy

Today there's been a few things:

To start, I woke myself up by bumping the head on the corner of the table- the thought of the sound is still making me laugh now!

The man used I used to observe in Borough Starbucks no longer wears his red winter jumper, yet remains in his favourite seat, window side and furthest position away from the door.

An analyst at work adopted a Giraffe at Marwell Zoo for his daughters Christmas present. Amazing. They are going to visit it this weekend.

It's sunny, and it will be sunny over the whole weekend in London.

Tonight I'm catching up with lovely friends. mmmmmm.


Can't wait to get this corporate clothing off and be.

Wahoo, enjoy your Friday!

Happy Friday!

Happy Friday everyone!

I hope your weekend is going to be a great one- mine has already started well, I've been paid and received a nice 'Big' coffee from 'Eat' for free (!) from Monica :) Thank you!

As good/bad as it is, coffee is one of the few things which can zap my brain back into shape when I'm feeling a little urghnaaahhhh. Bad, because it inhibits iron absorption- but my tablets seem to be helping well with that!

Anyways, I'm sure there are more interesting things to talk about other than my nutrition skype (yes, I just used a product name as a phrase!).


Today work will finish at three, and at five I shall begin to celebrate my good friend Matt's (poo face) birthday! A friend of mine sent me a picture of a card from Urban Outfitters which would go well with Matt's personality... and face...


I'm not a huge card buying person, so if Matt reads this he can see my affections through a blog post.

Later, we will be at Browns in Bank to start the fiasco. This place is a favourite of mine and they do the best fishcakes I've ever had (not sure if that says more about the fishcakes I've had, or the latter). This place holds a few memories for me too- a few dinners with friends and a nice catch up with my cousin. The service is good, and here I fell in love with a waitress because she served well and actually made me want to tip her (I hate tipping). Sometimes places have service charge included- but at least with this you can guarantee a smile and food which arrives on time- instead of careless staff with no sense of humour.


This week I've also been running, Wednesday I felt sooo chuffed completing 6miles when I intended to do 5.4. I'm near my goal, so I can start running home instead of traveling for a near hour, and then running for an hour, shower, food, sleep!

Saturday holds another birthday celebration for my friends Fry and Beth. Fry, does look a bit like Fry from Futurama. Ruggers and booze sounds fun, will be great to see my friend play, I'm already craving a pint...

May will be jam packed with lots of visiting friends and family- April has gone so fast already, even in work I've been speaking and referring to published research which felt like yesterday, when in fact it was two weeks ago!


Work is going really well- the people there make me roll my eyes as much as laugh, and I'm learning more as we go through which is sooooooooo nice. Hopefully proof reading will take off soon and I'll be up to scratch with the lingo in financial research (I'm in publishing). Whether you are interesting in it or not, it's amazing what you can pick up by glancing over this stuff everyday. I hope to work myself hard for many more years- who knows, by the time I'm wrinkly I will chill a bit more and open my own bakery- I have a name in mind already. :)


This post has been a bit of a reel off, my fault for not posting during the week! I tend to post less if I'm feeling crappy, though sometimes I post less because I'm having too much fun and can't concentrate! haha, either way I'm doing ok.

CHOW!

Crema Catalana

This stuff tastes like a adult banana nesquick. Awesome!

My housemate, Hazal and I went for tapas spontaneously last night. We ordered muscles, garlic mushrooms and salad. Half a bottle of Spanish white rioja and caught up on feeling great :)

It was niiiiice!

Much to our surprise, the Spanish waiter brought us over a big red juicy strawberry, we had one each! Then, as we were handed the bill, he poured us this shot stuff! I loved how these little extras weren't included in the bill! It was the best service ever and nice to be served by Spanish guys!

We had the shot, paid our bill, chatted some more...the waiter must have liked us because he then gave us another shot. Winner!!!

After, we walked over to 'The Railway'. It's a really nice pub, relaxed and has a lot of nice lights so your faces glow! The food menu looked so good, I must go back to try their grub. Hazal had raspberry beer and I had cherry! More talk, chat over Australians and admiring the muscles of our friends...it was a good night!

Today I have a slight headache, and after downing coffee and porridge (blueberries and maple syrup yum!) I must shower had head off to Camden to meet Joe and his smiley face. I hope they are playing good music in cyber dog!
