Absolutely exhausting, but by far the most fun workout i've ever done.
I've had a pretty rubbish couple of days, and I didnt think about any of my worries for the whole hour of Zumba. I just danced and laughed non stop.
Highly recommend!

Tonight after work I went to see my friend Seans band Mavricks at a small venue in Highbury and Islington. They were so good! Daniel Beddingfield put in a guest appearance as he is friends with the DJ in the band, and got on stage to perform with Sean. We all met up after and went for drinks in the pub.
Nice bloke but tells the worst jokes ever!

Belated photo of me and the loved one outside Gaucho
Doesn't look too startling from the outside, but one mighty fine culinary experience once you descend the staircase into the old gold vaults of the bank of england!
There is also a Gaucho at Tower Bridge...book in advance and try and nab yourself a window table. View of the Thames plus amazing food = one perfect dinner date!

OMG
Yesterday I sat next to none other than USHER!
I say stood next to, I was sitting down, and he was standing beside my table.
Stupid me left my phone upstairs in the office so couldn't snap a sly photo of him, however I did observe that he is very small in person!
Seemed like a really nice guy, signing bits and pieces for people (including my colleague who pounced on him with a concert ticket to sign)and posing for a few photographs with some of the staff and their youngsters who they had brought in just to meet him. Exciting lunchbreak to say the least!
Back in the office, and on a slightly less exciting note, I met Teddy Sheringham. Tres handsome! Not quite the same as meeting Usher, but ho hum.
Day off tomorrow, hurrah! My plan of action is: Lay-in, green tea, bagel, TV, dissertation (no fun) and hopefully a Zumba class! Has anyone given Zumba a go?! I hear it's such good fun!

One for your book shelf
Ever read anything by Tony Parsons?
If not, you totally should.
I remember rooting around in my parents enormous stack of books that they had accumulated over the years, and picked up a book called 'Man and Boy' by Tony Parsons. I could not put it down. It's one of those books that packs a huge emotional punch and stays with you for ages after you've finished, and for me that is the sign of a great writer.
I didn't read anything else by Parsons for about a year. One day I decided to pop into my local charity shop to see if they had any good books, and I spotted the distinctive cover of a Parsons book, this one called 'One for my Baby'. Another great read.
On a recent trip to Tesco I spotted that he had a new book out, 'Men From the Boys', and had to purchase it, not realising that it was a sequel to 'Man and Boy'. I've only just started it, but one chapter in and I already know it's going to be another great read.

House Tour
Aloha.
I thought i'd do a little twist on popular 'Room Tour' blog posts and do a little 'House Tour'. Not that my house is remotely exciting but it is home, and I love it. I lived away for four years whilst I was at uni, so coming home and adjusting to living under my parents roof was bizarre and initially difficult as I was so used to my freedom, but my parents have been great and really accomodated for my return :)
I'll start with the bathroom, as after my bedroom, it is the room in my house that I spent the most amount of time in. Not necessarily because im massively vain, but because in the few hours of the day that I am actually at home, i am either getting ready for work in the bathroom or sleeping!
My mum wanted a beachy/seaside/sailor-esque theme to the bathroom, so it is very blue, with a lot of seaside references.
The dressing table - where the magic happens!
Jewellery in the middle boxes, hairbrushes in the jar to the left, makeup brushes, various products and potions in the tray to the right, cotton wool, then another box of products and potions on the left. Above that, necklaces, and above that, perfumes.
Due to the accumulation of my hair styling tools, my parents decided to turn the bathroom a little bit salon-esque, with hooks and a cool twisty hairdryer holder.
See if you can spy my terrapin, Mr T, over on the right! Maybe he's camera shy ;p

Change
I never used to be a fan of change - but now I think I'm ready for it.
There was a time when I never wanted University to end, and then all of a sudden I couldnt wait, and now I'm so glad to be away from it.
Sure the real world is terrifying, and everything is uncertain, but it's so exciting. Working in London never appealed to me, and now I can't get enough, to the point where I feel like I'm ready to move to London and really start living my life.
Money is always an issue, but I cant live at home forever! Love the thought of having my own little flat, or sharing with one of my girlmates. The next few months are going to determine everything, I'm crossing my fingers and toes that it all works out.
