This week hasn’t been as summery, so we bought some hanging baskets and new plants and flowers to brighten up the mews.

We borrowed Diana’s ladder to hang the baskets up, and now she has swine flu, so I guess it’s just a matter of time before we all get it. We’re not entirely sure how we’re going to water the flowers, as they’re so high up, but Emma and Raven have volunteered to lean out of their window and drop water down on to them.

On Thursday we went for sushi with Raz and Anna at a tasty restaurant under Centre Point. The food was so fresh and nice. Afterwards we grabbed root beers and amaretto at the Crobar, which Anna described as tasting like “disinfectant marzipan”, and went to see Gran Torino at The Prince Charles. We got the super comfy, double-size, fold up love seat at the back.

I bought a dress during the xmas sales, which turned out to be one or two sizes too small for me, that now fits perfectly! My jogging has been paying off and I’m super happy. Tom bought me a gorgeous Vivienne Westwood brooch to wear with it.

In other news, we’ve been giving dating advice to the neighbours, Tom taught me how to read Roman numerals and I’ve bought some sports wear, so that we can go play tennis in the park and run around the track.
