Friday
Posted by Anna
Friday was a weird day! We had someone leaving who asked me to bake him cupcakes on his last day, which I did. We trundled off to a Lebanese restaurant for lunch on the Kings Road and while everyone feasted on a selection of shared dishes, I just had a shawarma, which is a kind kebab in a thin unleavened bread wrap. I wish I could be more assertive, as I tried to point out my bill was half everyone else’s but still ended up having to fork out the same as everyone else, which irritated me.
At the presentation, the cakes got rolled out and I had half of one after everyone badgered me saying I should have one if I’d baked them. I didn’t actually enjoy it that much, as it was so sickly sweet. Paola came up with a great retort to this, which is to say I’ve already had one and that should shut them up! I shall keep that for next time. :-)
We went for drinks after work, but I only stayed for one diet coke, and then headed home to meet Emma. I’d been given free tickets for a Bon Jovi concert just down the road to me in Twickenham Stadium. I grabbed some hot chicken and roll from Waitrose on the way home and woofed it down! It was a fab concert — I’m not a fan but as expected, it was a great atmosphere and I was able to sing along to the songs I recognised.
Back at my flat, I had a tub of cottage cheese as I was conscious my calorie count was on the low side. A busy day!
