This weekend my parents came to stay. It was, actually, rather awesome in a sort of boozy way, because that is apparently how I communicate with my parents. They arrived on Saturday (I knew it was the Liverpool train arriving because of all the girls in rollers) and after showing them to the flat and drinking tea and generally chatting, we ended up going to the pub. This was part of my cunning plan to show my mum that actually London is not scary and where we live is sort of normal, except it was raining and there was confusion with the buses. That aside, we arrived at the pub, drank rather a lot of drinks, and then headed back to our flat for copious amounts of curry.

Mum is now chilled with London. Which, basically, was the point.

Sunday was a day of glorious sunshine in central London, and what was meant to be a fairly low key day seeing some of the sights turned into a sight seeing pub crawl in the sun. I saw the pelicans in Green Park! Yay!

Anyway. Basically, a good weekend. Plus, I dropped them off at Euston at lunchtime and had the afternoon to myself in order to chill out ans relax. I did a massive batch of cleaning on the Friday so everything was all sparkly and marvellous. I'm easy to please.

This week has mostly consisted of the Margaret Thatcher funeral - a weird day in central London but I did see Jon Snow on the way into work, which was quite exciting as a celebrity spot goes. Tomorrow Richie and I are seeing Fiona. We all went out for a drink on Wednesday and it turned out that Fiona had only ever seen Star Trek 1 and 11. This is what could be described as a TRAVESTY because she hasn't seen THE ONE WITH THE WHALES OMG WHAT so we're going to have a bit of a marathon this weekend. It's all good.

I ... how on earth. I mean, I guess I could understand why, having seen The Motion Picture, you might stop. But still. Also, kind of jealous that I'm missing your marathon; have fun!

It is WRONG but she is now FULLY CORRECTED. Hurrah!

'a TRAVESTY because she hasn't seen THE ONE WITH THE WHALES OMG WHAT'

Me and my housemate: this. Only we haven't got round to seeing it yet and I've been living here four months. ;P

Whatever you are doing right now: STOP IMMEDIATELY AND WATCH THAT FILM. (Unless you are, you know, doing something important. But other than that!)

No, I mean, I've seen it, she hasn't. (I was not very coherent when I left this comment, was I? ;S)

But yeah, I need to sit her down and watch that soon. She's so busy, though! :-(

That's not TOO bad then - people I know having not seen Star Trek IV maks me sad because it's sucvh a happy-making film! At least you have a good night to look forward to when you get to show it to her!
