Nope. Tomorrow never came. It is here now, a whole week late. I'm sorrie bloggie. I have been too lazy of late. A run down of all that happened between last Friday and today, FYEO.
Friday (afternoon)
Nov 16, 2012
After bidding you farewell, I left for London. A tiresome four hours later, I was at Southbank. The weather was just right for a perfect festive setting. Christmas market, delicious food stalls, live music, river Thames flowing by, a mildly cold breeze. I got lost in the atmosphere. Had a chicken harrissa wrap, a chimney cake (a Hungarian cake made of sugar coated strip of dough which is wrapped around a flour roller and placed in the oven for six minutes, taken out warm and brown and coated with cinnamon! (or any flavour of choice)) and a glass of Grenache (organic red wine). Yum. Met friend, went to friend's home, slept happily.

Up late. Phone with ma. Shower. Lunch with at an Italian restaurant close to friend's place. Not so nice salmon and cream cheese and avocado panini and a very nice Americano pizza topped up with an espresso. I was UP. Camden town! One of my favourite areas of London. Full of colour, music, weird people and weird stalls. Roamed about. Met more friends later in the evening. Went pub-bar-hopping. I have lost my ability to drink alcohol. Its not even nice! Went to a pub where Amy Winehouse used to work as a waitress. The walls were packed with her pictures. I'm sure no one gave a penny's worth of attention to her while she worked there. The walls in the toilet had Amy-tribute scratches all over. My favourite 'I came. I pissed. I left'

Another lazy day. Lunch at a beautiful little mediterranean cafe in Wimbledon Village. Melt-in-your-mouth chicken and lamb in a spicy marinade. The falafel was slightly dry. The stuffed vine leaves were SOUR. Spent night at auntie-friend's. Spent an hour explaining to her what I plan to do and why I plan to do whatever I plan to do career-wise. She asked me to stop swinging like a pendulum and try to move upwards. To heaven.

Tiresome journey to Cardiff. Swimming, relief. Walk back from Cardiff Market. Looked for a drainpipe cleaner. Our washing machine doesn't work and the kitchen sink gets blocked. The common pipe is clogged with sediments. I went to the tool-shed asked for one. The stall-owner said I was the second person asking for a drainpipe cleaner that day. I explained the washing machine problem. The stall-owner said I was the SECOND person with the SAME problem that day! I asked him to describe the first person. Twas my flatmate. What are the odds!? Such a small city. Love living here :D No drainpipe cleaner, got a curtain wire instead. Bought feta stuffed olives. Walked home and helped (watched mostly) clean the blocked pipe with the curtain wire. Still it stayed blocked. Ordered in Domino's pizza. I love Dominos when I'm hungry. Watched Spaced. Fun fun funniee. Drags of tweeds. Sleep sweet sleep.

Up late. Decided to go swimming. Got up. Decided against it. Back to sleep. Up finally. Decided not to go to uni. Made brunch. Ate brunch. Went to watch The Master. Boring. Walked about in Cardiff Market. Recognised old man sipping cappucino at the coffee stall as one of the people in the cinema. Rather, he recognised me. 'The Master?' oh yes! 'You got boyfriendo?' not here. 'Have a seat! Would you like a coffee!?' no thanks (smile). Leave. Bought a big fat down-feathered red coat. Its RED. That is all. Home. Oreos. Tweeds. Sleep.

Up late again. Uni. Home. Met flatmate's parents. Nice and warm and jolly. They were trying to fix the drainpipe. Plumber needed. Stretches and weights at home. Surfed the net. Wanked. Sleep.

23:36BST
Up early. Swimming! 20 lengths!! More more and more tomorrow. Uni. Beautiful lecture on diversity in foreign news reporting. Rejevunates my interest in research. Will do will do will doo. Gotta use all that faith I got left in meee. Awful walk in the rain to bid farewell to the amazing waitress friend. Hope she figures out what she wants, and goes for it. You're a tough soul missy. Follow your heart, and all will be right. Eventually. I'll miss you. Now home. Typing it all.
