Royal Wedding Fever!

So chocolate has arrived! And in between the Easter Bunnies (Wallaby) arrival and now not much has happened really...EXCEPT! I ran a lot after my nice long run and the girls (Ruth and Lel) came over from Ireland for The Graham Norton Show!

TGNS was amazing! So we had Jennifer Hudson (who we now call J Hudd), kdlang (or however she wants ot to be spelt these days) and the lovely Bill Bailey! We got really close seats too which was cool and so got on the telly like 4 times! Granted they are only like 3secs shots but still our 15 seconds of fame!! Whoop whoop! The show was great and it was interesting to see how they edited the show afterwards too.
After this then we headed for some celebratory drinks at Roadhouse in Covent Garden where yours truly proceeded to fall down 3 steps at the bottom of two flights of stairs relatively sober and then continues to drink and dance as it wasn't that sore at the time. Oh how wrong I was on the extent of the injury! Woke up and my foot was about the size of a bus! Okay I lie it wasn't that big but it was swollen bad and I couldn't walk. Spent the next two days on the couch with my foot elevated with a bag of frozen veg on me foot!

This did mean that I could work on Sat night though hobbling around wasn't very good and I have taken a lot of painkillers but mooola!!!

 This photo isn't great but you see the extent of it. The ice brought the bruising up which made it look worse, ewwww.

Had my BIG Easter event then on Sunday at 'Billionaire's Row' which was amazing!! Not supposed to say who you saw or anything but no one famous was there but Bryan Adams who played for the families party. The food was divine (Harrods), the table arrangements even better (trees full of flowers, all kinds but pink and red with tea lights hanging down) and the floor to ceiling stars shining out of the deep blue sheets was gorgeous. Long shift with my foot really hurting but will be worth it when I can go shopping! Or pay my rent....booo....

Waking up early the next morning to collect my visitor Darren from N'ham who cam to visit was fun! Two of us were wrecked from our early mornings but managed to find the Black Books store, Science Museum, St. Paul's Cathedral and walked along the beach, Southend-by-the-Sea. Then met Paola and Carlos for a couple of drinks at Waxy O'Connors in Chinatown. We were slightly drunk after that as we had had no dinner whoops! Then came the first lie in in a long while. Then down to Spittalfields Markets, Brick Lane and to finish off £10 meal at Pizza Express YUM! Darren was then sent on his merry way full to the brim.

Had to go to the lab for the next couple of days which meant more disappointment. Nothing working again blah blah blah buuuut I did get a fantastic Easter package from Mumsie and Roisin!

Chocolate wonderful chocolate!! As you see there are chocolates hidden in chocolates it was amazing! Love you guys!!






Oh and it lasted a full week! I swear it did AND I shared too! I shared chocolate!



Now that all that chocolate has been delivered and Darren has visited comes the party of the Easter holidays. Rosie's friends from Birmingham came down for the Royal Wedding and it was Dick's birthday on Thurs so we decided why not have a party! And cocktail party we had with people dressed in red, blue and white or suiting up! Though obvs not everyone did but at least some tried! Was an overall great success with everyone seeming to get on! Though Strawberry Moons off Reagent's Street was a little sleazy with the whole 200 men for eveyone woman in there and there were only 500 people in the club! Yes there was a very short girl there, Rosie! Only  joking there was like 10girls there.

And how creepy is our new friend!


Oh and just in case coz I'm sure I forgot to mention but Rosie Stokoe is our new housemate at 30 Long Drive! She's great craic and a PA to a PA to a Russian Billionaire that works on Billionaire's Row!! Ooooh laddeee daaaah! So back on track! Got home from this at about 4am if not later, maybe 5am and then planned on getting up to go watch the Royal Wedding!

That didn't happen....we watched it online instead. ITV had the best commentary with all the juicy gossip and celeb spotting. Kate (Catherine now or Duchess of Cambridge or HRH Princess William Arthur Philip Louis Mountbatten-Windsor) looked gorgeous in her Sarah Burton by Alexander McQueen dress! Wills was sooo nervous was hilarious! After the ceremony, Jacob, Rosie, Luke and I rushed to get into the city so we could see the kiss or at least something! Hwyel and Dick were going to meet us later. They didn't. But we did meet Nas at N'hill Gate which was random so she came running around London frantically with us! We were turned away by loads of bobbies but eventually there was a parting in the crowd over by Victoria and we literally ran to B'ham Palace and got to see the Royal Family on the balcony with the planes flying over head too! Such a great atmosphere was great craic! Smelly but good fun! Had to go back to the lab then to save my cells (who hate me it seems anyway) and then just relaxed for the evening as 4 hours sleep does not keep you going all day! The next day was a really nice hang over day followed by some drinks with Charlotte, Nas, Carlos and Char's German friends at The Churchill Arms http://www.pubs.com/main_site/pub_details.php?pub_id=43 a must on anyones visit to London! Irish guy owns it so the atmosphere in there is just like home!


Today then was my nice solo time of a Science nerd nerding it up in the Science Museum and finishing it up with a IMAX Wild Ocean experience! Getting tired now and think that's enough bore for one blog! Ooooh and I am writing a top 100 books to read at the moment. On 61 so will post as soon as I've done for anyone who's interested! Laters!
