Fancy seeing you here!
So I woke up on Saturday morning, ready for another weekend in London, Kate and I went for a run, then I showered and headed down to the local pub with Knighter to consume some nectar from the Gods and to watch the Manchester United V Wigan game. I was on to my 4th pint, minding my own business with Knighter and Higgo when I hear a very familiar voice say "Fancy seeing you here" and when I looked and saw Carly I freaked out! I didn't know what to say, I was speechless for a good 5 mins or so, but I think I managed to mumble "What the hell" and "I can't believe this" a few times before my brain started ticking over again and I finally said "Let's get a drink!"
That set the tone for the rest of the night, we had one there, then went to the Walkabout in Putney for a couple, before going back home and proceeding to drink a bottle of JD, a bottle of Vodka, Malibu, Champagne, and anything else we could find that we had left in the house. Matt and Zara came down from Essex, and a mate of Higgos also came around, the rest is a blur to me!! Apparently we hit the town later that night, went into Piccadilly and found a pub selling £1.60 pints and 2 for 1 Apple Martinis, but that was after Carly (all class of course), tripped on a gutter and literally face planted on the road. Mind you, this is outside Piccadilly Circus, thousands of people everywhere, but as always, it didn't phase her at all. We've got some good pics of the night.
Sunday, Kate, Carly, Lauren and I went to Covent Garden, Buckingham Palace, Trafalgar Square, Big Ben, Westminster Abbey, No 10 Downing Street, and finished at the Eye, which I hadn't been on yet.
Last night we caught up with Tommy B for 40 mins before he flew out of London for good. Tonight we'll probably watch a Champions League game at the pub, the girls have a lot planned for the days and nights we have: Wednesday we have tickets to see the Lion King, Thursday the girls are going to ladies night at The Larrick, Friday we have Matt's mate's birthday near Liverpool St, so that will be a big night and Saturday hopefully we're all going to the Port V Geelong game thanks to Lauren, and then hitting the town again one last time before the girls leave.
It's been really good having Carly here, AS WEIRD AS SHE IS, I still can't believe it by the way! Great surprise, and well done to all of you who knew and didn't give it away! Bludgers!!!!
