I love London, it amazes me that you can spend your weekends in one of the most iconic cities in the world and the more, I am here, the more I see, the cooler it gets. This weekend was truly mad!
On Sat I went to the National Gallery to see the Manet to Picasso exhibiton. Oh my goodness every time I see these amazing paintings I am floored. I get tingles down my spine and goosebumps. I love it. The exhibition was absolutely wicfked. Manets. Monets, Van Gogh's Sunflowers....ahhh. Cezannes' Bathers (YES ARNOLD I KNOW!!!!!!!)Truly lost for words. I am LOVING the fact that I get to stand in front of some of the most famous art in the world on my weekends. But the cool thing is that I really do appreciate it. I am not taking any of this for granted and I feel very very lucky.
I then met up with Ben and we went out for what was suppose to be a quite dinner for a night that turned into absolute carnage. It was amazing. We met up with Kiat and Leesh, Lani and Steve and us Ogilvarians hit London. Had dinner in Chinatown and then headed to Covent Garden for cocktails. We pretty much got through the entire cocktail menu jug after jug. Bloody hilarious. Wicked to catch up. Following the sugar high we were on... and the fact some were new to London, we ended up at 3 in the morning in Trafalgar Square, where we thought it would be a brilliant idea to climb ontop of the Lions in front of the Monument. Whoa, it was quite high and I was a little shakey but soooooo funny!!! All of us piling onto it. hahha. Then straight into a red phone box for another pic. This morning I had 133 photos on my camera we were such posers all night. Angry looking pics, silly ones, stanch ones. There was a lot of laughing, lots of banter and a lot of noise. Very funny. We ended up at 4 something, the sun starting to come up...in North London where we crashed till this morning.
No rest for the wicked I was up and still very energetic (go the sugar) zoomed home changed and back into town to see the Kylie Minogue exhibition at the V&A with Mel, we then went to Hyde Park where we paddled paddle boats around the Serpentine in the sun - absolute bliss.
Starting to fade, I came home forced down some tea and the headed to Camden (tres cool man, and SO many beautiful people!!!) to see Steriogram play at a bar. It was pretty much jammed with kiwis but very cool to see a NZ band live in London. Saw a few familar faces and had a boogee, watched a "little person" stage dive and then manage to get the lead singer standing on his shoulders, and then have now arrived home. Shattered!!
Wicked another week and then a long weekend. Dad we are going to STONHENGE!!! hahaha.
Anyway that is me people, my life. Living the dream baby!! Miss you guys, hope NZ is not too cold and love you like ants love sugar.
Lib xxxxoooo
