I had a brilliant weekend!

Friday 1st December 2006
Company Christmas dinner. I had been to the venue before a good few years ago with a different company and they still do brilliant Christmas parties. The dancers were fantastic and it was really nice to socialise with my new work friends. The only guy in my department didnt want to sit with us as we were all girls (he sat with some guys from his previous dept). It was real girly affair in the end, we had a lovely meal and danced the night away. My legs were so tired at the end of the night (maybe going to body combat before a night of dancing wasnt such a good idea after all).

Hubbie and I went off to Sadler's Wells in London to watch Darcey Bussell perform. Hubbie isnt at all keen on dance show yet alone ballet performace. The show was quite short (just over an hour). There were 4 pieces, I wasnt so keen on the 2nd piece but the rest was brilliant. Darcey Bussell has such a strong body, not just slim but muscular and so gracefull!

Before the ballet, hubbie and I tried out a new dim sum resturant, it was near Liberty's on Regent Street. The resturant was called ping pong. The food was fabulous and they dont use MSG (I dont know why so many chinese resturants think that it is good to use the stuff) hubbie didnt get sick (he is allergic to MSG). The lotus leaf steam rice was so scrummy.

Sunday 3rd December 2006
Hubbie and I went home to have dinner with my parents - it is the last chance I will get to see them before we head over to Ireland for Christmas. My brother and his girlfriend Rhea were there (Rhea is so lovely, hope my brother doesnt mess it up with her) and my sister was there with her new boyfriend Alex (it was such a lovely change to for one of her boyfriends to have a personality, usually she goes for guys that are all looks and no brains, this guy had both - hope she doesnt mess it up this time). Since my brother and sister have stopped working together, family dinners have become really good fun again. Now I am looking forward to Christmas with my other family. Only 2 weeks to go and I have so much work to get throught between now and then arrrgggghhhhhh.
