ok i looked back on my last 'massive update' and it doesn't seem so massive. in a desperate attempt to get this blog up to date i'm going to do a quick update of last week.

monday 6th
after work meet up with Tammy at Gigalum Bar - as i think i've mentioned, this is my new fave bar and it's also great cos it's so close to home. Corey joined us later and we stayed there till it shut at 11pm (yes most bars in london shut at this time). we weren't 'kicked out' but were encouraged to leave. hehe! Coz was stayed at my place for the week as he was in between houses.

tues 7th
went to check out a new flat near clapham junction. it was actually on Gowrie Rd, the same road i lived on with Saul. The people seemed really nice - 1 other aussie and 2 kiwis but the room was wayyy to small and there was no where for me to put my bike.

wed 8th
had a nice relaxing night. met up with corey after work for a few quiet ones at The Nightingale, a pub literally at the end of our street. it is your typical old english pub - very smoky, no music and kind of felt mini in size - like 3/4 of what normal pubs should be. got into the Biltong that night. i reckon we went through about 5 packets. Biltong's one of the great things i've discovered here. its a bit like Jerky, ie dried meat, but a little more moist and less chewy. good stuff. goes really well with a few beers.

Thurs 9th
met andy, nahla and steve at the Southwark Tavern for a few drinks. told you i had a busy week - out almost every night! this little pub is a gem. i booked a little booth in its downstairs section which was a lot more private. great food too!! we had this soup which kind of tasted like heinz tomato soup, but they'd put this lump of goats cheese or some sort of cheese in there and it just tasted awesome! so simple, but so goooood :) then nahla convinced me to get a taxi home and ended up leaving her phone in the taxi! lucky for her some honest guy found it and returned it to her the next day! that's pretty much unheard of really..

friday 10th
felt slightly hungover at work from the night before so i the morning wasn't exactly productive. but at lunch i rode my bike over to Precis (my old workplace) and had an awesome beer battered greasy fatty fish and chip lunch with Andy and Nahla. That sorted me out and i was certainly a lot more productive when i got back to work that afternoon!

saul and corey came round at night and we ended up watching Lord of War on dvd. was good to finally have a night in, although there was still plenty of booze involved.

Saturday 11th
Bought the Logitech v270 bluetooth mouse for my Macbook. this little mouse is wicked. it doesn't require a 'receiver' cos it's bluetooth so it doesn't take up any of the usb ports on my puter. brilliant. it also has an on/off switch to conserve battery power. pretty nifty little thing. would definitely recommend it to any laptop users out there. can i just say, logitech are going sick with mice at the moment - they have the best range, for gaming to laser precision mice. go logitech!

and to finish off, at night we went to The Artesian Well for Anne Marie's bday, but i think i'll have to follow that up in another post as there are quite a few pics from night i'd like to upload but it's really late here at the mo and i need to hit the sack as have a client meeting first thing tomorrow.
