Potatoes and Raw Fish

I have a job in London! And I have a flat in London!

I met the client I will be working with yesterday and also my future flatmate. Can't tell you much about my client, really, cause of confidentiality and all that, but I want to say that she is AMAZING.
She says working with her will involve going to lots of demonstrations, sitting around in court rooms as she is currently suing Wandsworth council, going for coffees at Trafalgar Square on sundays while she is at church and talking to her amazing mad artist daughter (who is my age) on the phone. Plus she won't make me dig around in her garden if I am too scared of slugs.

My flatmate is 22, German (of course) and very nice, but also very shy. We'll get along fine, I think. AND there is a bike coming with the flat, which Lisa (my flatmate) never uses. All is ace.

Will start doing my first shadow shifts next week!

So yeah, when I got over my initial grumpiness yesterday turned into a really good day! After meeting my client (will have to find a nickname for her...) I chilled out in Soho Square for a while until Gabby came to meet me there. We then started the mission "Drink, Drink, Drink, Rant, Drink, Drink, Slap and Spit".
Soho is weird. I think it changes magically at some point during the evening. In the daytime it is full of bookshops and smoothie places and at night it's all pubs and sex shops. We missed the transformation, cause we were having lots of Alpine pints in the Glasshouse Stores. So the DDDRDD part of our mission went really well, but then we failed with the SaS part. Maybe if you replace the "Slap and Spit" with "Sushi and Smiles" we can count the mission as a success. Had Sushi from one of those little conveyer belts for the first time and got very excited about it. Spent shitloads of money and I think I ate octopus.
Anyway, got back to the hostel around 4am, I think. And I remember something about an art exhibition with free drinks on Thursday... will have to ask Gabby what that was about again. Maybe I will get to wear something elegant and parade around with a glass of champagne like Bette Porter.

Tonight: Tamara Drewe, cause it's Orange Wednesday and the cinema is cheap, innit. Hope it is funny.

Now I am going to cook some food, cause I am starving and feel a bit sick from all the drinking and ranting last night. I bought lots of potatoes at the shop on the corner and will eat them all, cause my main project at the moment is "get fatter", cause I don't have any trousers that fit anymore and I look very ridiculous in my too big clothes. (When I am wearing nothing I look quite good, tho.)


PS: I also have a new favourite thing in the world. Boots' Blueberry Yoghurt Nougat Bar. They are a good reason to emigrate to the UK. I am sure my parents will understand.
