1. Paid homage to Londoners who died valiantly trying to save others at the memorial plaques in Postman's Park (if you've ever seen Closer, it's where Jude Law meets Natalie Portman).
2. Scoffed down delicious pizza at my favourite Italian in Soho, watching the people parade go by.
3. Experienced a rather bizarre video installation in the Serpentine Gallery.
4. Wandered around Portobello Market, narrowly refraining from purchasing yet another pair of shoes I don't need.
5. Had a drink by the Serpentine Lake, watching the pedalos crash into each other.
6. Watched The Hangover: Part 2, and thoroughly enjoyed it.
7. Not done one bit of writing!
8. Had a deliciously lovely afternoon nap on my bed in the sun.
9. Stuffed myself silly on Thai at the pub across the street.
10. Rented The Heartbreakers, a French comedy with Romain Duris, who I LOVE!
All in all, I'd have to say it was a fantastic weekend! How was yours?
Sounds like the perfect weekend to me! I have spent hours getting my desk ready in preparation for BuNoWriMo kickoff on Wednesday - guarantee you that I'll end up writing sat in bed instead of using my lovely new space... Hey ho :)
ReplyDeleteVery jealous - fancy Thai right now
Lx
I had a really good weekend. Got chapter four of my new WIP done, made roast chicken for dinner on Saturday, and got to see two friends for the last time before they move to Germany for the next 3 years.
ReplyDeleteAh, eating, drinking, and sleeping. What more can you ask for? Sounds like my kind of day.
ReplyDeleteHey Talli! It sounds like you had a busy weekend. Let me see...
ReplyDeleteI've been so busy the last couple of weeks that I spent this weekend feeling very "jet-lagged" and looking at my suitcase (it's been sitting full on my bed since Friday night. Hope you have a great week!
Sounds like you did all the best things - eat, sleep, and be merry!
ReplyDelete:D Sounds like a lovely, lovely time.
ReplyDeleteI love naps and Thai food. That sounds like the perfect day to me.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad you had such a funny and happy weekend. I myself wouldn't say no to Thai food in abundance :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely weekend you've had Talli. Damnit I wish I still lived down South.
ReplyDeleteMine was rainy and hectic... the annual marathon and race weekend was going on here. It's the biggest event of its kind in the country.
ReplyDeleteAnd there was a pirate craft on the Rideau Canal for some reason....
Sounds like the perfect weekend. Hope you've charged your batteries. It'll back to the writing tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteIt was fab! I could've done with a drink at the Serpentine though. Sounds like a perfect weekend you had! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI want your weekend - sounded perfect to me!
ReplyDeleteMine went like this:
1. Worked 9 - 6 Saturday. Watched all the holidaymakers wandering aimlessly around the supermarket.
2. Did my own shopping. I should have known better!
3. Had mega lie-in Sunday morning.
4. Caught up with emails and blog-reading.
5. Fell asleep on sofa whilst watching Contact.
6. Had chat with neighbours down from London for the week.
7. Watched Hollow Man with Mr. G.
What a fabby weekend you had. We too have a holiday today; Canary Day! And I scoffed a crispy bacon sandwich in one of the seafront bars for lunch, pretty naughty as I am trying to loose weight! Laugh! xx
ReplyDeleteSounds like a fabulous weekend. There's no pub within walking distance of my house. Bummer.
ReplyDeleteSounds wonderful! Hope the week ahead is a good one, too:-)
ReplyDeleteFirst positive feedback I've seen On The Hangover 2.
ReplyDeleteNot a Bank holiday here until Thursday and will be in the Uk for a wedding this weekend by then so missed out. No not really let's face it every day is a holiday for us oldies, has to be some advantages. We have been busy harvesting cherries.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a fun weekend filled with some of my favorite foods! We saw Bridesmaids (funny) and also had Thai the other night. Julie
ReplyDeleteI'm all intrigued by the Serpentiine gallery whacky video installation!! Must go and see now!!
ReplyDeleteYay!!!!
What a fantastic weekend you've had! Roll on the August Bank Holiday is all I can say!! Take care

That sounds excellent! My weekend is just beginning as today is my first day off. Yay! I'll be indulging in burgers and fries tonight in honor of all things American. ;)
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't been here much lately.
ReplyDeleteYour weekends sounds awesome. I didn't do much writing, except for today, so yeah, at least I did that. Happy belated bank holiday by the way. Here in Germany I don't know as much what is going on in the UK.

Relaxing weekend with my wife, which included food, drink, and Kung Fu Panda 2. And other things...!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a wonderful weekend! So cool!
ReplyDeleteYour weekend sounds idyllic to me, glad you've had such a wonderful time.
ReplyDeleteWhat no martini's? Even working in the yard all weekend I had time for one :D

That sounds like a great weekend, especially the watching movies and taking naps part. Naps are something that we should never outgrow; I think they're good for the soul. :) And movies are good too because they let us into someone else's world for a while.
ReplyDeleteI spent my weekend trying to persuade tourists to buy expensive souvenirs, some of which will probably break in their luggage when they travel home.
I spent the weekend gathering 2 of every animal in preparation for the coming flood. Seriously, it hasn't stopped raining in Sydney for days. I had to paddle to work this morning.
ReplyDeleteScary!
What a perfect relaxing weekend! I went out to the country, spent a day by the pool, and played with my baby niece. Pretty wonderful, I have to say. :)
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a great day.
ReplyDeleteEspecially the pizza....
slithery great day! It's a long weekend for us over here as well, and I'm loving it! An excuse to take a break from my insane life. Tomorrow = back to it.
ReplyDeleteTake care, hon~ :o) <3
I've said it before, and I'll say it again, Natalie Portman's lap dance scene with Clive Owen in "Closer" is the sexiest thing ever put on film....
ReplyDeleteNow...what were we talking about again?
Lazy. Perfect. Good food. Good wine.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a great weekend Talli and much deserved! Mine was fab too - hop over my place to find out more!
ReplyDeleteThis post made me want to go to Portobello Market.
ReplyDeleteMaybe this week while it's really sunny.
We had a nice, low-key, relaxing weekend. Sounds like yours was lovely!
ReplyDeletesounds like my kinda weekend!
ReplyDeleteyou always need shoes Talli
ReplyDeleteHi Talli - sounds fun .. sometimes I wish I was back in London! Cheers enjoy the week .. Thai booked! when the tennis is on in Eastbourne in a couple of weeks .. Hilary
