Rainy Friday

Having a very non work day today, my bosses are in a slack mood which I have benefited from! They just took me for a very English fry up which was nice of them. Tonight I'm going for drinks with my boss and the reception team cos Alice a girl I've become friends with who is temping with Chan4, is finishing up today.

Met Emett (music buff) at the SObar last night, its a great oriental style bar with huge cushions on the floor and a wonderful decor. Cheap drinks aswell cos his friend Ryan works there. Then went and met Rachel at Prospect after. Saw Ben, very civil but still not happy that he arsed Rach about. Heading to a party on Saturday at one of Emett's friend's houses so that'll be fun. House parties in London are wicked and there's no lights on at 11-12 like in all the bars!

I read the paper today which said the numbers of people using the tubes were down by 450,000 each weekday and 750,000 fewer on weekends! That surprised me, I didnt think it would be by that much. God, I'm either very brave or very stupid. Can't really think of any other option to get to and from work. I was going to go into the city tomorrow and go shopping in Oxford St but I dont think I will for the time being.

I'm biting the bullet and buying a disposable camera today so I can FINALLY get some great pics. The things I've missed from not having had one...hehe

Cannot believe its August already. I worked out yesterday that I've been here just over 10 weeks! When put like that it doesn't seem like that long but its still an achievement. The number of times I've spoken to someone in a bar (usually male) and they've been blown away that I came over on my own. Most men I've met come in groups, not many on their own. They say I was brave which surprises me when coming from a guy...I don't feel it was particularly brave of me, it just felt like something that had to be done. And you know what? It was the best thing I've ever done...
