Wow, it’s been an incredibly long time since I wrote a blog. I can’t do a video blog today. I’m still in my pyjamas.
Since exams (and Phantom of the Opera) my life has been one big procrastination. If I wasn’t worried about not getting the required grades to do fourth year before, I am now. Minimum is 60%. Yikes.
Lucia in Covent Garden
Lucia turned 21 on Thursday. We have been celebrating – on Thursday we had tea, on Friday we went to a restaurant in Fulham Broadway which was Turkish and had a clever name that I can’t remember, we watched Iron Man 2 and went across to Orient House to eat fairy-cakes which I spent several hours making on Thursday, and watch Carlos play a suspicious game on his iPhone.
Excited at the start of the HP tour.
Yesterday we did the Harry Potter walking tour. It was AMAZING. Not least because we walked around bits of London which I have been to before, but never in the order of going from disgusting modern buildings and wide open roads, to cobbled streets, little hidden alleys with all manner of exciting things down them, and past a cathedral, a massive butchers and down a market that makes me remember London is actually pretty old. I would like to point out, to those of you who shake your heads and laugh at how much more uncool I’ve just revealed myself to be, that I just don’t care. We nicknamed yesterday “The ‘Cool’ Day”.
Plans for the coming week include revision, going with Lucia to get her second tattoo (more on this later) and more revision.
