Hi everyone:-)
Just to quickly update you... had the worst sore throat for ages last Tue/Wed so ended up sick in bed last
Thur/Fri but had a chance to update you on life in London:-).... photo's still pending!!!
" ...thanks Mikie for the wee challenge on being a bit more consistent now!!!"
..so here goes... so apart from Sunday's mammoth Jubilee celebrations watching the Queen's Thames Pageant this week has been a very quiet and restful week:-)
...but just to recap on last weekend...
Jubilee Weekend
Sat 2nd -Tue 5th June
...driving around the city houses are decked out in bunting and flags....
....it's like Christmas....
Saturday
Brian, Margie and I took the bus to a a Jubilee themed feat (fair) at Turnham Green/Chiswick
\
Later I tubed on out to James and Cathy's and joined them for a Queen's Jubilee party:-)... they are in the East...Epping... and I'm in the West (heading out to Heathrow Airpor)t..two hours it took me door to door to get home!!! ...just to give you an idea of the scale of London...:-)
But had a great time:-)
All decked out in our Red, White and Blue:-)
Our rendition at home of the Queens Royal throne!
The Queen's Jubilee Thames Pagaent
Sunday...into London with most of London!
Mike and Me (two Kiwi's in London...how cool is that!!!)
Some of the BBC1 Highlights that we watched on the box that night
(It was a bit of a pyjama party!!! Margie and I in our PJ's never quite making
it to bed till about 1am...very chilled out day the next day I can assure you...
actually ...the next two days!
Monday 4th June
... we did fit in a spot of sailing on the Monday with Paul and a(nother!) Kiwi...Hannah:-)
Gladys and Joan *Paul's Nana and Aunty also joined us but just to watch so it
was a lovely family day out with Margie and Brian as well.
That night we put on our glad rags and went out
....for a lovely meal out at a pub in Woking in Surrey
...and listened to a great jazz band)
Btw...we had some lovely sun:-)
Tuesday 5th June
...then what more perfect a way than to spend (another!) wet...bank holiday:-)
than sitting on the couch (a very good convalescing day...my bum was sore after!)
watching the Queens Thanksgiving Service and Concert:-)
..outside it was grey as the rain pittered down outside...
...summer here really has become just like an Auckland winter!!!
This week
...as mentioned earlier have had a very quiet week this week. Rested heaps and feeling heaps better for it.
I wanted to make sure I'm well for my floristry stint tomorrow:-)
and for next week when I start this two week supply teaching position.
08-06 Friday's Health Diary:
Today I ventured out for the whole day for the first time this week (well since Sunday) for the day to Chiswick... planning to visit Hogarth House....but never made it there... a visit to the chiropractor revealed something that unfortunately isn't healthy... my spine:-(.. had been having some back discomfort so went to the chiropractor today as it would be my last chance before starting work....which is going to be what I will need to be doing...is working...because the chiropractor's bank account is now looking far healthier! ...and will so again on Monday ... I have to go back with my x-rays of my spine for him to decide a course of action to treat my spine...basically where a healthy spine has a curve at the top, mine has no curve...meaning there is no suspension in my neck...will find out more on Monday...
Tomorrow (Saturday):
I'm doing my muchly anticipated day working with Sam from 'Storm Flowers London'
This is her website...
www.bizflips.com/storm/index.htm
Working together there'll will be Sam, another girl called Kylie and myself working.
We'lll be travelling around London in her van with all the flowers and equipment in the back
and creating on site:-)
I'm really excited and looking forward to it...will let you know how it goes:-)
ENJOY YOUR WEEKENDS!!!
Lots of love
