I had the most delightful afternoon and evening with Kathleen yesterday. We met up at Starbucks, have both adapted to autumn in England, as we both were drinking Chai Tea Lattes, and caught up for a bit.
From there, we wandered down King's Road, where I've never really been before, save that dinner at the crab shack last January, and had some grub at the Sloane Street Food Market. The Whole Foods-like store called Partridges sponsors the event, as Kat told me, and vendors sell all sorts of amazing things (like the raspberry tart I spilled on one of my student's classwork books. Oops). We opted (perhaps naturally and typically) for the burger: great choice.
Afterwards, we did some shopping, I picked up these babies (which totally are two different colours, I can see it now)
for only £24. Steal.
We ended the night with quite an interesting conversation over ciders at the Nag's Head Pub in Belgravia (where Laura and I went in April). It was a lively little place on a Saturday night, quite fitting for how happy we were to see one another.
A lively train ride home (drunken man talking to himself, spilling beer all over the place) and it was off to bed (by about 11) for me. I'm a party animal, I tell you. Just look at those shoes!
I'm planning for next week now, ensuring that I'm ready to be observed by all in the department. I'm SO nervous for this, I can't tell you, but hey, this is part of the job. Can I pull it off? I sure do hope so.
I hope you're having an outstanding (note the lingo, in the hopes it applies to me this week!) weekend, filled with friends and reconnecting, resting, and enjoying your time off. xx
