Interrupted post..

I was going to write something insightful and interesting last time and then my flatmate stumbled home a bit worse for wear and fancied a chat- and even I know that face to face communication often beats online outpouring.

However, I just realised that the last two photos I posted are of alcohol! Oops! Weird since I haven't even been drinking much recently. So here are a random few of people, taken last week on a school boat party up the Thames











and there you go!

Things I'll miss...

ah, could it get better than this? Comfy pair of PJs (bought for the trip but might as well wear them in now), cool glass of rose, candles, fairy lights and a 'Sex and the City' double bill- yes, my flatmates aren't in the living room tonight:)

I've done it!

I have bought my ticket to Brazil! I am leaving London and heading to Rio on 8th October at 6.25am:)

O2 Wireless Festival

I am getting myself ready for travelling this week by doing things on my own. I bought a ticket to go and see Fat Boy Slim play in Hyde Park months ago, just after speaking to a friend in Brazil who had seen him at Carnavel in Salvador. I guess that I thought at some stage I would meet someone else who was going but I didn't. Never mind, I went anyway.

I got a bit bored in the afternoon waiting for Fat Boy but it was worth it. I arrived a bit early so it was all quiet



but I found something to do. And it was sunny on and off all day which was good. I feel like I am getting a healthy dose of sun at the moment but my legs are still pale as anything.

Fat Boy Slim came on around eight thirty- which meant that it was still light for the first hour or so of his set but it got darker around nine thirty and the light show really came into its own.

There were a lot of people there



I was about halfway down the field. I really enjoyed it but not as much as Fat Boy Slim did by the looks of things



He seemed to be loving every minute of it.

Meanwhile, back in the task of preparing for my trip, I bought my first tankini- a bikini with a tank top- last week. I have wanted the freedom of a bikini for a long time- if you put on a swimsuit you tend to get a bit stuck in it. It is not something that you put on under your clothes on the off chance that you go to the beach. I have envied the bikini wearers for a while, trip after trip where I am struggling to get in and out of a swimsuit on the beach while they just pop theirs on in the morning and get dressed over the top. Now, why haven't I just bought a bikini???? the idea of my big white belly being laid bare on beaches throughout the world terrifies me and I am sure that world with it!

Rght better get out of bed soon!
