Grey's Anatomy, The Hills, and Gu chocolate souffle
It's been a funny week. Returing from Cannes it was a busy week in the office catching up, one that included a 1/2 day out of the office at THE's (one of our distributors) annual conference. It was held at this old cinema on Portobello Road in Notting Hill with really comfy seats, a bar and even footrests. It was mostly people from Sales and a couple of us from marketing went to round out the day. The chairs were so comfortable, though, it was hard not to just lean back and enjoy the darkness! Sony were there and screened a trailer from the new Bond film 'Casino Royale' which was definitely a treat. The evening was capped off by cocktails and dinner at Deep, the restaurant in Imperial Wharf, Chelsea, where Gordon Ramsay's The F Word is filmed. I stand by my theory that this entire country is pickled. Glass after glass of wine and not a drop of water in sight! Pickled, I tell you, pickled!! Thank goodness the 'carriages' this time were at midnight and not 2am, as it was only Tuesday!!One of the highlights of the week was finding the first new episode of Grey's Anatomy on TV that started after I moved away (guess we're about 10 months behind). This, coupled by the next-to-last episode of The Hills made for a nice week of TV. I know that it's probably pathetic that I watch this show, but I just love the trash. How could there only be 10 episodes??? Grey's Anatomy is such a nice treat too. A good show just started here this week called 'Goldplated' - kind of a cross between Footballers Wives and Las Vegas. Some more nice brain candy...
Johnny Harber came for a visit on Friday, which was loads of fun, followed by a cold, rainy weekend. He brought me a wonderful present of this amazing new Sony Ericsson phone that isn't even on the market yet. It has more space to hold music than a Nano and a touch screen and crazy cool features. I've spent a good part of the day trying to figure out how to work it. Sadly, I'm not much better off than before I started...
After 10 months in, everything in my flat seems to be breaking. My phone doesn't work, the only lamp in my living room has broken, along with my toilet seat (it has fallen off!) and a few other things. The sad thing is that nothing that is broken and is more than a year old! I taught myself to change a fuse today, thinking that would work (I've seen characters in Eastenders and Corrie do this kind of DIY), and while it may have worked on the soaps, it sure didn't work for me. Drat...
Thank heavens I have the new Bluetones and Killers albums to keep me busy bouncing around the room (in the dark!). Oh, and a decadent Gu chocolate souffle... (Well, it is dark, cold, and rainy after all...)
