(it's not the arcade juice stall but it'll have to do)
hello hello, trust you're enjoying the scheduled iceland posts :) it's been a good-busy two weeks since we got back. my in-laws (gosh! i've in-laws!) were in town for awhile so we played tour guide for a few days. well, more accurately, i played tour guide while the mister was at work. and then the mister was in italy for work, happily handing me over to a dear friend who let me stay over because, uh, i'm too chicken to be home alone. yes, have some growing up to do. noted.
the rest of the week passed in a happy blur of catch ups, because it seemed like suddenly everyone and their mother, literally and otherwise, were in london! it was a fun, albeit expensive carousel of eating out, drinks, going out, and kebabs. we'd dinner with noe at sakura in mayfair, our go-to for relatively inexpensive quality jap and then drinks at pollen street social. now it's opened at gardens on the bay, we don't quite feel so ahead of the curve any more. went to my cousins' very posh local i.e. the phoenix along smith street in chelsea. i always thought one's local would be casual but oh no - this one was dripping with former etonians, present company included. pffft :/ and because we had more rounds than attendees (which numbered six, if you need to know) we tried not to bust our budget, resorting to indomie for dinner at home. indomie, pint after cheeky pint and potato chips and wedges = pure joy for this carb queen! took it easy on thursday, well easy as a coffee at covent garden and sofa time goes. the mister sniffed out a fabulous japanese find near bayswater that required a lot of walking to get to but was well worth the trek. and friday, oh friday! well, friday is a story in itself.
