A 2 1/2 hour car hire and baby Benjamin
I have decided to postpone the bicycle purchase for a few weeks. Last week, Spring was in the air, the birds began singing to welcome the arrival of British Summer Time, we swapped coats for jackets, and started to pack away the winter clothes.... Sunday night it started to get cold, and by Monday afternoon it was snowing. Grrrreeaaat...
I do have a couple of nice highlights from the weekend to share, though. On Saturday, I was lucky enough to meet my friend Ruby's new little boy, Benjamin Ravicandra (6 weeks old). We met at a cafe in Islington--I was impressed she so relaxed. He's adorable, seemed very proportinate in size (I have noticed that some babies I come across in my travels have abnormally large heads, so Ruby must be pleased). A few pictures below. Judging from his face in the second one, we think he was 'doing a poo.'

On Sunday, I had quite an 'adventure' (as one kind friend likes to call it). I hired a car for 2-1/2 hours to do some shopping. It was a little grey Volkswagon golf, parked down the road from my flat. In LA, when I was looking for my new car, I remember looking at a Golf and thinking 'this thing is way too small - it would never work.' On Sunday I found myself attempting to navigate around the streets of London, shift with my left hand (which isn't as difficult as it sounds), collecting bits and pieces of heavy shopping for Sarah and Cameron's upcoming visit, thinking to myself 'This thing is so big I feel like I'm driving a tank!' My how one's perspective changes... It was kind of nice to be driving again, though. Even if it did take 27 minutes to go 0.4 miles!
This week at Taste! we made several different kinds of fish (including one with a flavoured butter from week 2, and squid, which I had never made myself), roasted vegetables and the highlight which was bread and butter pudding - heavenly! Only one more class left, which brings a tear to my eye.
Thankfully I am back to only 2 jobs now--instead of 3--it's pathetic how nice that feels. Can't imagine what it will be like if I ever go back to just 1! The BVA awards are tonight and we all have our black tie party dresses and monkey suits hanging up all over the office. Come 4:00 it will be a fight to take over the tiny counter space in the toilet. Wish me luck!
