What a weekend it was, with plenty of torrential rain to help the grass be greener, and to help weed out those tourists around town (easily spotted in poncho-form, drenched to the bone-form, or cheesy umbrella-form). At the end of last week, I think I managed to catch the virus going around town, so tried to keep the activity levels down, yet I still managed to get outside and catch up with a whole load of people.

On Saturday, I helped celebrate Kristy’s birthday and caught up with a whole bunch of people I hadn’t seen for a while. Kristy picked a wonderful location, Isola De Sole, and I thoroughly enjoyed the mega feast that we all indulged in. Sardinian food is wonderful, and can be quite different from the Italian foods you’d normally see, and I even spotted a bottle of limoncello in their fridge but was too stuffed to want to try any for dessert. It was also great to hear lots of the zany stories that Stacey had to share about living in Aberdeen, and was visiting on a special work trip down in London (or should that be Englishshire according to locals near her?). I unfortunately had to depart a combination of needing to get a few errands completely, and not feeling 100%.

Sunday I caught up with Ajit and Luca where we went down to South Kensington to have a very disappointing brunch at Aubaine. We walked around a little bit around the area, before heading back to raid Ajit’s place as he’s leaving for the US.

And suddenly, it was Monday again!
