A Williams Weekend

This past weekend Annie ventured into London to kick it with us. We had so much fun! It all started with an early end to the day on Friday with all the girly catch-up one could dream of. Then it was a quick change into our professional attire and off to the tv spot that we were all volunteering to be in. It was for an awareness campaign for the UN for a condition call Fistula that happens to women in underdeveloped countries. It was a long night of sitting there listening to "professional extras" flirt with each other and think they were cool. (yes, they were really extras for their job. That's all they do)

Afterwards Renetta met us and took us out to dinner - fabulous! I decided to go into the world of seafood and got the Salmon, and it was fantastic! We had some good Australian wine and of course some good times. haha I got the cheesecake for dessert, and it was alright ... but those of you who know me know that I am some what of a cheesecake snob, and I have had better.

Saturday we went to the London Dungeon... for their Halloween Spectacular!

Despite the long wait in line - it was worth it. Hey Annie, what do you think about waiting in lines?

And not to worry - for those of you who remember Annie's Halloween costume last year ... she was welcomed at the dungeon's toilets!


Quite funny


After the dungeon we decided to do what any normal person would... go shopping! We went to Oxford Circus, which is a big area with more shops than you can count (even if you use your toes). We caught the bus back to Islington (our hood) and rode on the top deck. I recommend it to anyone who has he chance, riding on the top is relaxing and fun. We stopped off and got 7" pizza each for only 1 pound! (that's almost $2 for you Americans, haha). We then headed home to get ready to go out and celebrate Annie's last night in London.

We ended up playing some drinking games at home and some of our Australian friends came over to join us. The language differences came out and being that we were all wasted, it was quite funny. For instance, they don't say "period" for that little dot that ends a sentence. Instead they say "full stop". Bonkers isn't it?

We met up with one of Beau's friends at the club called Livingroom. Here are some memories in the making...
