girlofpreyHello. I did come back from London. I'm sorry. There was work, and things to do, and unpacking, and shopping, and television just went mad. I saw that Mutual Friends was going to be on. I saw that Alexander Armstrong was in it. I saw that Marc Warren was in it. I saw that they were friends who hugged and gave each other advice on the breakdown of their marriages. But then it was on, and I watched it, and it was great and rather super gay, and now I'm pretty much planning to watch the whole thing. And then after it, there were two adverts, one for a drama with Paddy Considine on Wednesday at 9, and one for a drama with Gina McKee, on Sunday at 9. It was a bit lkike TV was saying, "You remember 9 o'clock? You'll never see that again." Emmerdale this week opened with Carl King and his girlfriend having a pillow fight. I stumbled on an episode of Reaper, which was much better than the one I saw in Cornwall. Dear oh dear.
But I went to London. K and I talked about her and J a lot on Friday night. Then on Saturday we went to Camden to try to find her a 40s style dress. Oh my good god, Camden. I thought I had been before because I had it mixed up with Covent Garden. I was mistaken. Camden is amazing.So many beautiful things on sale. We walked around at least five markets, and market halls. I don't wear skirts and dreses very often, and suddenly I was all "I want that dress. I want that skirt". Honestly. And the jewellery! And the candles. And in the middle there was a bar/restaurant that was Cuban-themed. K and I have planned to go back when we have some money. It was amazing.
Then we went to go see Avenue Q, which was great, and the next day we went to the 40s street party, except that her friend wanted us to go round to her house dressed in our costumes, and by the time we got to the other friend's - a lot of walking and a tube journey later - the party was pretty much over, and K's friend and K slowly starting changing out of their costumes, so I ended up getting changed. But we had a good time, I went out with K and her friends and we went to a local festival thing, and then to some clubs and bars, and I had a bit of a dance, and then we went back to her friend's flat and watched a bit of The Goonies before going to bed. And the next day we watched a whole bunch of Third Rock From the Sun as part of some marathon, and then I came home. Rah.
And now it's late and my hair's wet. Rah.
