.I had a great afternoon out in London with Tina and Lindsey on Satuday. Unfortunatly Sarah wasn't able to join us which was such a shame. :o( Hopefully next time she'll be able to.
.
I had fruit for breakfast and once Tina arrived we headed into Cambridge. We only just managed to catch the train into London as the queue was so bloody long and out to the entrance. We managed to catch the train with a couple of minutes to spare.
.
We met up with Linz and then headed up to Covent Garden. Never been there before and there's so many street acts and entertainers around and they all had huge crowds gathered around them watching. One of the acts was on an eight foot uni-cycle, topless and wearing nipple tassels!
.
We had a bit of a look around and as we were all famished we headed for something to eat. We decided on Italian for lunch and ended up a place called Pasta Brown. There was so many nice things to choose frome that it took us a good 20 minutes to decide. I had garlic bread with mozzarella as a starter followed by penne boscaiola which was chicken, bacon and onion in a tomato sauce, basil and parmesan. This was absolutely wonderful and I thorougly enjoyed it. We also shared a portion of fries between the 3 of us.
.
.
We spent a few hours in the restaurant, eating, drinking and chatting loads. The 3 of us headed back to Covent Garden and watched a few of the street entertainers. We then walked up to Leicester Square to work off some of our lunch and more importantly to make room for dessert! We ended up in Cafe Rouge where I ordered a hot chocolate to drink(which came out with a small pot of cream and a small pot of marshmallows) and Pavé au Chocolat (Warm chocolate and walnut brownie topped with melted chocolate ganache and vanilla ice cream) for dessert. We done a lot more chatting with a bit of people watching before catching the tube to Kings Cross to head home. It was lovely to meet Linz and we hope to do it again some time in the New Year.
.
I felt shattered when I got home and just vegged out in front of the TV watching X-factor and other rubbish. For tea I had a tuna salad roll and ened up polishing off 2 packets of crisps and 2 2-finger kitkats. I wasn't even hungry so I don't know why I ate it. I reckon I finished the day having approx 73 ppts. That wasn't too bad but I had already dipped into my weekly allowance and I've now gone into my activity bonus points. I've earned 24 and used 6 but over the next 2 days I should earn another 21 bonus points. So I'm still hopeful.
.
I'll be back later in the week with my WI results. I hope you've all had a good weekend.
