So, nothing happened with my sister yesterday. Well, nothing much. There were a few snippy moments when she sort of got onto me for the way I was replying to her. But other than that there wasn't really anything, and we all had a pretty decent time. Aside from my ON, mostly, who was upset he wasn't winning at bowling even though it was his birthday. And my parents and sister starting arguing about money a couple of times. But other than that it was pretty good. To be honest, I'm not sure I even like it when nothing happens with my sister, because I'm pretty sure she's still upset about stuff, and it just feels like she's saving it up, or like I'm still waiting for the axe to fall. But I'm not really going to go looking for arguments with her, especially not if no progress is probably going to come of it. So, it was the best it could have been, pretty much.

Anyway. What I did before seeing my sister at my nephew's birthday party, was go to see Cakesy in London. Which was pretty much the opposite experience. We watched Luck, which is beautiful, and incomprehensible, and beautiful. I LOVE LEON. That probably won't come as a surprise to anyone who's seen it. Also we went to Camden, which is partially based out of what I assume is an old stables, and is filled with random horse statues. And we watched the Gangnam Style video, which I forgot had a bunch of horses in it. So altogether it was a pretty horse-themed weekend. It was no bad thing no, I like horses. Also I got a purse and two bags I don't need. But a BEAUTIFUL purse and two bags I don't need. Then I came home on Monday. Also we watched Oz, and at one point a terrible character had a breakdown and sang 'Camptown Races'. MORE HORSES. Also, they should have kept Peter Schibetta and made him and Adebisi be an odd couple - who hurt each other way less - for a lot longer. I'm just saying.

Also Cakesy is a v good hostess. A++. SEE HOW I REVIEW WELL, CAKESY?

Hello. 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.
