Weekend

Hello! :-)

I worked on Saturday as I was covering for John who worked for me last weekend when I was in Leicester. I was on the ground floor, which was busy. I spent two and a bit hours straight in the children's gallery. It's tiring in there, but it's better now that the soft play area is closed off. We have a soft play area that a lot of mother's use as a creche. We visitor assistant object to this as they take up space in the gallery and ignore their children and do not use it like a museum! But now that the soft play area is closed, people have to interact with their children which makes it rather pleasant. :-)

Sunday was a trip to the Spitalfields Market. Scott and I met Isa from my museum at Canary Wharf tube station and we caught two tubes to get to Shoreditch at the end of the East London line. That station is right at the perfect place for Brick Lane, which I am sure I have mentioned beofre - the place with all the curry houses! From the station we went left up Brick Lane to see if we could find a bagel shop I had been told to find by Mum. Found it! There was a huge line so we figured it was good. :-) So we waited and I bought a salt beef bagel and 6 plain bagels to take home for lunches. Bargain at £3 for the lot.

From there we walked towards Spitalfields, stopping at various markets along the way. It was nice to just be wandering about looking at things. I didn't have much money to spend, but it was probably better that way. All in all I bought just the bagels, and a lovely string of beads for £1. The Spitalfields market is undercover but it was still quite cold in there. I am sure you could buy pretty much anything there - jewellery, rugs, clothing, food. You name it, I am sure it's there (within reason of course!!).

After the market we headed back towards home on the DLR and went to see Casanova. A good movie, if a bit cheesy. The cast looked a bit bored thoughout really! I like Heath Ledger, but the storyline was a little implausible in parts.

This week is has been work work work. And the joys of stomach bugs. I feel much better than I did yesterday though. I have the day off on Friday. Not sure what I will do yet. My friend Sarah may have had her baby by then so I can go play. But she hasn't popped yet!! That I know of anyway. :-) It's funny, I miss playing with babies/kids. My friend Maree has three kids (the third I haven't met yet!). I used to love "borrowing" Trinity and Bowen to entertain. There is something fun about kids, the things they find funny that I find really amusing. And babies are cute and squishy. But saying all this doesn't mean I want one just yet, don't get me wrong. I do want kids one day, but I am nearly 26, and at this point I think I am not ready. And too young! And besides, everyone else I know is having babies, so I can just "borrow" theirs!!

EDIT: This post was finished on the 22nd Feb, not at the date stated, which just shows you when I started it!!
