Soulla in the park

Nice?

Last weekend was not a "nice" weekend as Londoners would say. Londoners would define a weekend as "nice" if it were sunny, flip-flopy and warm. Last weekend (and eventhough it was the second weekend of May) had nothing to do with such definition. The jumpers came back (yes I had optimistically put them in a corner), the scarfs came out and the flip flops stayed were they belong (in Cyprus)!

Nice!!

However, I had a very nice weekend. I got off work and met M at Les Providores for wine and tapas. We had important discussions about why Greece is falling apart, about how much we will miss our friends who are leaving London and about what we want to  be when we grow up! On Saturday we saw some of the the friends who are leaving London, we got drunk had a few good laughs and (I) kept thinking how much I would miss them! On Sunday we went for a walk in Hampstead Heath and then met up with little cousin (who is not so little and who recently got engaged) for more drinks and laughs. We then stayed home for a nice home cooked meal. I love cooking on a Sunday. It makes me feel like I am home and in control and I can do whatever I want with the coming week. (Note: The fact that I am still at work at 9 o clock waiting for someone to comment on my document speaks othewise but nevertheless..)

In any case, I had fun, I laughed, I saw my friends, I cooked, I went to the park, I got drunk and I spent time with my boyfriend. What else could a girl want.. a romantic bridge in the middle of my neighbourhood's park? I got that too!!

Soulla and the UK

I also followed the elections quite closely being very excited about something I know very little about. Just as I feel that my life is in desperate need of change, I think that the UK feels it too! Its not that I have anything against the current government it is just that I need the ability to hope for something better..so Soulla and the UK for the moment remain optimistic!
