Sorry no blog yesterday, was too hung over from the Thurs. night excursion to Birmingham with my old work mates. They had agreed to a charity dinner in Selfridges, but only a few days ago realized that this was Selfridges in Brum, not London. So a coach was hired, I was invited to join and it turned out to be a lot of fun...actually the travelling bit was more fun than the actual event. Turns out there was no dinner, just invisible canapes...and unlimited beer, champagne and g&ts.
The building itself is quite impressive:
The outside:
The inside:
They had closed the store to the general public and allowed us exclusive shopping until 11pm, of course with the unlimited supply of booze where could it all go wrong?
Except I'm not exactly in the market for Gucci, Prada or Vivenne Westwood. Spending 795 pounds for a small handbag isn't exactly the kind of charity event I'm used to attending.
Then there was a fashion show and an Elton John impersonator...and boy did that liven it up!
Anyway, couldn't do much yesterday, so Stephen ended up doing all the cooking and cleaning. We decided on tofu burgers for dinner and ignoring my advice to slice the tofu brick in two, we ended up with this protein monstor:
It's now the morning after and we're still full!
In other news our furniture has started to be collected by friends...our sofa/bed goes today. We'll meet Stephen's coworkers in town for a curry before we head to Greenwich for the night where we'll drink the night away.
Monday we leave for Cornwall so I think Sunday is a write-off.
Oh, and it's sunny! Yay!
