I was reading my horoscope...
in the Sunday paper and it said something about today being a day where something that I had been wanting would come to fruition. I was certain that it meant that we'd find a flat today... no such luck just yet, but what the fates did deliver was the news of the new Fiona Apple album release date. Now that's almost as exciting! I guess that after all even if we don't find a flat today... it's still pretty exciting!
My neck has decided to regress into my old 'can't move it an inch' injury incurred during a fateful event in circus school 2 years ago... I have very little clue as to what triggered it... I was even forced to forego cycling this morning! Taking the bus didn't help much either... all the jerking about wasn't pleasant. I've still got health care here for another few weeks so if my massage tomorrow morning doesn't help then back to physio I go.
Got to stroll through my old hood this morning as I had a doctor's apt. I really miss that neck of the woods. I think If I ever move back to London, that I'll move back to that same neighborhood... Notting hill is interesting but just doesn't have a scratch on Angel to me. There is of course the small matter of ever being able to afford to buy a place in Angel... but lets not even go there.

the skinny...
so I just just pressed purchase for my flight over to BCN in slept. Very exciting... I was anxious to book as it's so much cheaper the further in advance you book it.. Knowing my luck something disastrous is going to befall the booking between now and then... but I'm no pessimist *scoff* The lovely miss Andrea will be hopefully jetting over to see me at the end of Sept... and will bring whatever I'm not able to get over with me. I'm sure I can bribe some other willing mules to traffic my shoes and handbags over for me :)
The weekend was fab... having a half day off on Friday afternoon is fantastic... working late every night leading up to that Friday afternoon is not so good. I was so tired by the time I got to mid-day. KJ was here already so she was home to greet me when I finally arrived. Had a nice cultural afternoon with her *aka shopping* and boy oh boy are we the queens of bargain shopping... pretty good considering I didn't even break my £8.50 a day budget. You may disbelieve but at the end of sale season... it's a goldmine... buy one get one free sales do help... so do forgotten xmas vouchers at the bottom of your handbag! I managed to buy 4 pink T'shirts (one for me,one for Sal,one for Seestor and one for mum) using said gift certificate... then scored when we found two fab black casual dresses at miss Selfridges for £15 (but it was buy one get one free!) so that counts because I didn't buy it the seestor did!?!?!
Saturday morning KJ headed back to the airport early and I hot footed it down to the gym for a long overdue visit... I can't believe that I still knew how to find the bloody place it had been so long! Saturday night I braved the tube once again... and traveled right along the path of the Kings Cross Bomb area... not nice but I did it... albeit slightly shaken... Micha's bbq was a bit wet... but only due to the rain... summer was just not making an appearance here this weekend!!! Sunday morning amidst much more rain Sally and I drudged to Regents park in search for an ever elusive England Rugby player... Suresh was in Madrid but requested that he wanted a pic of this rugby player as his birthday present... We searched high and low and finally managed to talk our way into getting one girl who worked there to snap some pics for us... sadly I don't think she got any of the guy we were looking for... ah well... I'm sure Suresh will appreciate the effort!!! Then we went down to the Touch exhibit at the V&A which was cool... I think it's been on for a while now... most of the exhibits were looking a bit worse for wear... but it was good fun anyway!
Jeesh I managed to do a lot... however not so much in the line of sifting through my things or packing like I was supposed to... this must start soon... This week should see me hopefully deciding on a language school to attend when I arrive and finding an art school where I can take that paining course I want to do... I'm looking forward to doing some learning again for a month or so when I first arrive... mind you my hunt for a job is also gaining momentum as well... it's the realisation that this is my last pay cheque ... scary stuff! I can't wait to get there and be with Fredu... the wait seems like the only hard thing left... 22 sleeps and counting!
