Have just got back from the airport, having said goodbye to another good friend. Tammy left tonight to head back to South Africa as her visa is soon to run out. What an emotionally draining few days.
tammy, sean, bronwyn, trey
trey and bronwyni actually took friday off work this week so tammy and i could hang out. it was a bloody awesome day. we went to a massage parlour and got a 1 hour swedish massage. my god it was brilliant. felt so relaxed afterwards. just heaven. you know i've never really gotten into all the beauty therapy stuff, but i could certainly get used to having regular massages. we also hung out in the steam room for a bit afterward, but had to leave after about 5 min cos we were cooking. all i kept thinking about was the story of the frog in the beaker. don't know if you've heard this one before, but apparently if you chuck a frog in a beaker of boiling water it will immediately jump out; but if you put it in a beaker of cold water and slowly heat it to boiling, it will stay in there and just cook till it dies. that's how i felt. i couldn't trust myself to know if i was too hot.next we went to camden to try and find a tattoo parlour (before you get worried mum, no i didn't get another tattoo although i was very tempted!). tammy got her first tatt to mark her departure from london - a black chinese dragon on her back.
in the tattoo parlour - tammy looking slightly anxious!!after that it was on to Gigalum for some farewell drinks. it's pretty cool cos the bar staff know us now. they made sure we got an area with a couch and got all our drinks right - even tammy's which is bizarre - a double jack daniels and lime cordial.
