...And God created Saturn, and he liked it, so he put a ring on it.

I haven't written for ages due to pure laziness, so forgive me if this isn't a literary masterpiece as per usual.  

Since last post, my friends and I have been trying to become slightly more cultured seeing as we are essentially children with jobs and cars. To remedy this we decided to go for a posh breakfast at Fortnum and Mason where we managed to hold it together and behave in an orderly fashion. I put this down to the fact that it was at a single figure hour and most of us were half asleep. 

After several pints of coffee we were ready and raring to go and had a little stroll down the Mall and watched the changing of the guard, which shockingly none of us Londoners had seen before!  To be fair a bit of trotting in place is hardly worth shouting about so we wrestled through the massive crowd of camera-wielding Asians and powered down Southbank to the Tate Modern. The art was dull so this happened:

And this...

What larks.

I have also recently been to the theatre. As I am frequently mistaken for a dancer myself, I thought I would relate to the giselle-like elegance of the graceful ballerinas.....turns out Billy Elliot is a fella. Ah well, it was still good fun, and although it was hugely lacking in tights in the costume department, it more than made up for it with swearing.

Fans of my life (read: my immediate family) will know that it was my birthday last weekend. As a little treat, @hollandizzle and I hit the mean malls of Bluewater for a spot of spontaneity. After being pleasantly surprized by Zara's FAB a/w collection, we somehow ended up in the cinema where we watched Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I think we gave it a whopping 3.5/5 which is fairly good on our picky scale. Quote of the movie "you punched me in the boob!".....quite. That evening @Miss_AmyL, L, D, S, S and I hit a supercool restaurant in Blackheath for some proper nosh and cocktails. YUM!!

Developments in the workplace: I have finally started my wine course! Hurrah! In light of this, here are some basic wine facts that you may or may not know:

• You can make white wine from a red grape, but not red wine from a white grape.
• Champagne is made from a blend of pinot noir, pinot meunier and chardonnay.
• Italy is the world's largest producer of wine. 

Fascinating. I feel these are facts that might serve you well in a pub quiz. You're welcome.

Recently at the gym I have developed a method which helps me run further. I call it "The Monty Python Method" and it involves simply listening to my collection of Python sketches whilst running. The concentration required in not laughing to yourself and looking somewhat bizarre on the running machine outweighs the concentration it takes to actually run, ergo you run further. I will try this method until I am (to quote Python's Mr Creosote sketch) wafer thin. 

...um....goodbye.
