Well has it been a gorgeous sun soaked weekend or what?

Thursday night i was invited over to lovely james and lovely jim's flat for dinner which was lovely, actually eating proper food for a change is always a good thing and great company made it a very enjoyable evening. Friday night i met up with Oliver and went to see "The Homecoming" by Harold Pinter at the Almeida Theatre in Islington. I was so excited about seeing Danny Dyer that i had almost forgotten what the play was about. When he came on stage i audibly gasped, he is simply stunning. The play is set in the 60's in an all male house in London, a family that are in desperate need of female influence after the death of the wife and mother that ruled the roost. Towards the end of the 1st half the long lost son of the family returns with his rather glamorous wife and she sets about turning the dynamics of the household upside down. Some people seem to interpret the play as a trubute to the power of feminism, others may see it as a woman being aminpulated by the misplaced passions of the men. I was not clear by the end but the acting was great and i got to see my Danny!!

After the play we headed into Soho for a few drinks, firstly at the new gay bar Enclave which seemed a tad pretentious and expensive with guys posing and judging but i guess i am just as guilty of that, we then headed to geisha which i am really liking at the minute, followed by escape which is always good for a laugh and then settled in at Ku bar - all good but felt a slight headache on saturday.

The sun was out on Saturday so i had a nice walk up to Angel for a bit of window shopping and just chilled out, headed into Soho on Saturday night to meet up with Pete, Kaz, Dan etc for drinks but i have to admit Soho was hateful, the bars were rammed and we seemed to spend most of the night waiting to be served by slow bar staff making complicated drinks - grrr!!

The weekend was interrupted rather badly with the awful news that a huge blaze had ripped through Camden Market, I am not the hugest fan of Camden Market - it gets too busy and is full of people who should really up sticks and move to Brighton where their platform trainers and pink dreadlocks would be accepted and treasured. i am sad though that the ever present whiff of Patchouli has been drowned out with flames and smoke and hope that Camden gets back on its feet soon.

Yesterday was fab, I had a morning of listening to many indie classics whilst tidying the flat, Tony and Anna came round in the afternoon with booze, fruit, a blender and we spent the afternoon inventing cocktails and watching comedy, a perfect way to spend a sunday in my opinion.

I didn't watch the BAFTA's last night but am very pleased that Marion Cottillard won Best Actress for her role in "La Vie En Rose" and also Atonement winning best film was much deserved. I am dying to see the new Daniel Day Lewis film as he seems to be winning every award going.

The headliners for this years Glastonbury Festival have been announced and they are pretty dull!! Friday night = Kings of Leon, Saturday night = Jay Z, Sunday night = The Verve, zzzzzz, how buggin is that?? I am not sure who else is playing but i am not actually that bothered now - boo!!

This week is busy with work but i am going to try and have nights in as preparation for a child filled weekend. Yes my friend Kerri is bringing her 2 sons Ely and Dylan for their 1st ever visit to London!! yay!! lots of fun things planned!!
