I have such frizzy hair!! Woe is me! Hello folks, I am back at work sat at my desk in the window, enjoying the noisy vans trundling past and the patchy bit of sunlight that is making it down between the buildings to my little spot.
I have been away! I have had a great few days. It was my Dad's 60th birthday on Saturday 10th, so we surprised him with a trip to London and a grand day out.
My big sis came down from Swansea with her husband and her bump!! Yes she has a bump already! Not surprising really, as she's having TWINS!!!!!
We flew over on Thurs to Southampton and spent Friday with Nick's Mum, as it was her birthday as well. Went for a walk around the New Forest and had lunch in Southampton at the Pitcher & Piano. On Sat morning we drove into London to the Docklands where our hotel was. It had great views over the Thames towards the Gherkin and Tower Bridge.
Sat afternoon 8 of us went to the matinee showing of ** Spamalot ** which was SOOOOOOOO Funny! I was weeping a lot. I love Monty Python. We booked two boxes so felt very posh. After that we had a drink in a very funky bar, it was happy hour, and then we had a table booked in Clos Maggiores, a very nice French restaurant in Covent Garden. That was followed by cake and champers back at the hotel. I think my Dad had a lovely day.
On Sunday morning we went up the London Eye, pretty much what you expect actually. Its very high up and there are good views. The queue is pretty bad, about an hour but then that was at a weekend and on a sunny day. We drove back after that and managed to hit the 6 Nations rugby traffic at Twickenham, which basically was like driving through a parade. After big delays we headed back to Southampton and chilled out.
Monday, drove to Bournemouth, bought a pretty dress at House of Fraser then flew back to Guernsey in the evening. So it was all a pretty perfect weekend and I'm sorry to ram it down your throats if you had a shit one. Now its Wednesday already and I am on a diet. I ate so much rich food the last few days and I feel really disgusting.

Sounds like you've had a good weekend. Hope that it continues to the rest of the week. I'm totally with you on the diet... ate so much in Scotland my work trousers are very tight! Lettuce Leaves for me for the rest of the month.... probably has something to do with the LARGE volumes of wine consumed!
