Wood Green

Gabby is back in town for a weekend!

So I spent my free day with her yesterday. Her boyfriend and her just moved into a new flat in Wood Green, so I got to see a small new bit of London. Wood Green is busy, cleaner than most parts of London I have seen so far and the new flat is cosy and lovely with a massive garden. We wanted to go for some beers and then cook something nice for Enzo - the boyfriend. It all went a bit wrong, cause we drank a lot of beers first and then did the shopping: We bought steak and one box of aioli per person. 5 different Ben&Jerry's ice creams and baking potatoes and 2 bottles of champagne and more beer and also jet black floor paint, cause we thought we could do some DIY while the potatoes are in the oven.

In retrospect I am quite glad we got distracted by beer and didn't start painting the floors.
When Enzo came home, he ended up doing the cooking, cause we were already a bit too drunken. Ooops.

He is lovely, I had never met him before, apart from earlier in the day, when I went to his work at Highbury and Islington to get his keys off him, cause Gabby had locked herself in the flat and then realised she had left her set of keys in Germany.

Anyway, we had a really, really fun night, but I was sensible enough to leave at about 11pm, cause I had to work today and Tooting is far, far away from Wood Green (obviously, as it is far, far away from everything, but Wimbledon Stadium...)
So I got on the tube and only realised that I was going the wrong direction when I was already in Oakwood, which is in zone 5 (!) at the northern end of the Picaddily line. I was home by 1am or something and am all knackered. Tonight: tea, chrstmas card making, early night = utterly right.
