Weekend
Had a great weekend in Brighton. Is only an hour out of London but is on the water. As you walk down hill from the station you see the ocean and I couldn't help but grin like a fool (even though I was carrying a tonne)! Booked into my room at the hostel (MY ROOM!) and went for a walk on the pebbly beach. And I didn't even mind the pebbles! Actually I am not much of a sand fan, so was cool with the pebbles. They have a pier and on that it has a full on amusement park. So here you are on the beach, rocky as it is, and you can hear the seagulls, and screams of people going on the ghost ride. add to that the spectacular sunset and I was thinking I was in some major wonderland!
So grabbed some fish n chips for dinner, and wandered. Had a beer then went back to my room because it was mine! and read and listened to my IPOD.
Went wandering the next day and the shopping was so tempting! This is a place that I will definitely go and visit when working and I have some money and not so much luggage! The art/crafts were great, found an awesome alternative shop, and add to that good weather and I was a very happy camper.
Went and saw the Devil Wears Prada - gotta love Meryl Streep and then had some mussels in a restuarant. Had one of those 'oh you're here alone!' moments when they were fussing over what seat to give me in the restuarant. Made me feel very small, but I got over it, once I'd had a glass of wine. Thanks to Ruth who showed me mussel eating etiquette!
Anyway back in London, have another interview for the Natwest job this afternoon, and then hopefully that will be a 'go ahead'. Yay!
