And relax...
Apart from having to put up with dire Saturday night television this evening, I've had a good time tonight. I know I moan about 'enduring' the reality TV fest that is X-Factor and I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here but quite frankly, given that all I wanted to do tonight was veg out, they fitted the bill nicely.
This week has been non-stop and it finally caught up with me today. I have been out every single night since Tuesday and was up for going out again tonight but bailed out as by mid-afternoon, I just felt unwell - tired, a little nauseous and headachey. I think my wall had been truly hit. Smashed into even and I wasn't going anywhere. I feel a lot better now - the vegging out has done me good. It's times like this that I realise I am no longer 21. And someone who is still getting over cancer treatment. That bit really pisses me off but at least I'm here to feel tired and pissed off.
Anyway, as a summary of my social activity this week, I give you my 'week in the life of'. Don't go expecting a Tara Palmer-Tomkinson IT-Girl style social diary commentary like they have in ES Magazine, we are talking me here so lower your standards;
Tuesday - Dinner and Drinks at The Fellow Pub over in Kings Cross where not only did we get to spend a fun evening with Tony, Debs, Scott and Lucy, I also got to see how great Kings Cross is looking at the moment. I'm old enough to remember the prostitutes and junkies wandering around and now it all seems so tidy. And all a bit shiny. I'm sure there are still hookers and drug addicts off to the side streets but the immediate area around the station just looks really cleaned up.
And I got to learn about breaking one's little finger by reverse parking. Yep. You read that correctly. Courtesy of Tony, we were regaled the tale of a tight reversing spot, his steering wheel suddenly springing back and his finger breaking. That man could start a blog for his mis-adventures alone!
Wednesday - Dinner and Drinks at The Bloomsbury Bar and Restaurant with Fi, Sarah, Rhian and Caroline for Fi's 40th. Again, a good time was had by all.
Thursday - Wine tasting event courtesy of The Theatre of Wine. Enough said. The words tasting and wine are involved, of course it was good.
Friday - Birthday celebration with Mat where we had an amazing lunch at Magdalen Restaurant (oh my life the food was good!), a wander around Borough Market sampling various foodie wares, buying cheese from Neal's Yard Dairy and drinks in the The Market Porter. We were supposed to continue into the evening but Mat and I were both tired at this point and went home for a relaxing Friday night to watch Drive Ryan Gosling's new film. A good film but horrifically violent and not one for the faint hearted. I'm still traumatised by the lift scene.
Tonight was out in Shoreditch night but Mat ended up going on his own with Roger and a good time was had by all from what I gather. I did hear mumblings of being now 'too old' for Shoreditch but not sure if that was because neither of them wear skinny jeans or have shaggy hair cuts....
And amongst all this, I have been well into Twitter, @shewithcapitalV
It's a hard life!
