Jubilee Bank Holiday

 Hello!!

So it’s the 9^th June, and I’m typing this a week or two late as usual! Guess I’m making a habit out of this!

1.     The other day I saw a picture of the little kitty that we gave away, and its still tiny and cute! Definitely made me think we should have kept the kitty! If I ever receive that picture of the kitty I’ll post it up here in the future.

2.     On Friday night after work I caught the express train up to London (only had 2 other stops! Amazing!) This was for the start of the jubilee weekend / extended weekend. I got to say that London did look festive and stuff with flags out and everything! One little pickle that I have with this is that I feel these should stay out more often! Makes London look a bit more awesome for tourists etc. upon arriving at London, I took a stupidly long stroll from waterloo bridge, down to tower bridge! It wouldn’t have been so bad if it didn’t start raining half way along! 

On the Saturday I did have a wonder around all the main tourist areas and also stumbled into the practice of trooping the colour! That’s the army people wearing big fluffy hats, and people on horses with shiny armor on, for you that don’t know what it is! 

 
Now on the Sunday, this was the day of the pageant, but left before the actual river pageant, and celebrations. What I did see though was lots and lots of people along embankment and Trafalgar Square, and the waterloo bridge trying to get the best spot to watch/view/see the boats! Whilst me and my friend was battling through the crowd trying to get to an underground station, so she could get to work, and I, to Southampton.

Besides from all that main rubbish there was quite a few street acts around too, 1, a person squeezing himself through a tennis racket, and causing nuisance to people on the phone near him. And 2, a person riding a stupidly tall unicycle while juggling some machetes, while wearing a cape, and some nipple tassels! (I have pictures)

3.     Upon returning from London, (got invited to a BBQ) I made my way to my other friends house where I was going for a “Jubilee” BBQ, more of a friends gathering and chatting. Whilst chatting away here we couldn’t decide who was actually meant to be doing the BBQ itself! And somehow from a very quick conversation, which I had no part in. It was decided. I was to cook /man the BBQ.

So, on goes everything!  

Every now and then, excessive smoke. Fire. Smoke! But overall I managed to cook a mean BBQ with nothing stupidly burnt!  (and I got a compliment for my cooking! :) )

4.     Now on the way back home, that thing I was learning (mentioned every now and then a few posts back), I fell off! I got to say, adrenaline makes everything feel awesome! But then the next few days I did notice that my right shoulder stupidly hurts!

5.     On the Monday I took a little trundle down to Bournemouth. Spent some time down at the beach and watched MIB3 with some friends in the evening.

6.     Well, That’s all folks!

I really should try to make things sound more awesome that what it is…. Guess I’m a boring person!
