Just thought I'd write a quick post about the weekend, I'm in between a fabulous meal of jacket potato, cheese and beans, (yes I did make it myself) and am about to settle down to a Potter film with chocolate...
This weekend was one of the best we've had I reckon! On friday, I had a lovely night out in Ikebukuro, a few cocktails and a meal with Uno, Masa, and some new Japanese friends of Uno's. I'd never been to the bar before but anywhere that plays both Katy Perry and Eminem in Japan is a hit with me. Anyway, on Saturday I had a rare lie in, then went down to Omotesando about lunch time for some christmas shopping, very successful but obviously can't reveal here what was bought! A bit later Jerome met me in Starbucks, I'd gone there to get some homework done, and we ended up sitting there the whole afternoon, eating them out of festive foods and gingerbread lattes. Yum yum. Then we adjourned back to IkeB and got ourselves some more christmas cards to send, and tickets for Potter on friday!!!!!! SO excited!! Of course we're dressing up, but we'll leave you to guess at which characters until the pictures go up....... On Sunday, I was very excitable as I knew that Sara and Annabel were arriving, and had booked us somewhere for dinner on Sunday night. Had a chilled day, usual gym, homework, spot of revision for these mid term tests, that sort of thing. I chose a restaurant near Tokyo station, there's a fantastic bar next door as well so after a few cocktails we headed off for our meal - BIG success, vegetables and 'real' food! I have to say though, the friendly faces from home were more welcome even than the food, as well as the bag of goodies they brought with them! Bakes beans, green and black's choc, Selfridges mince pies, ADVENT CALENDARS (two, obvs) and my beloved navy Pinko coat.... my Mum knows me too well!!
I then had a wee interview on Monday morning (more info when I find out what it entails.... not being deliberately elusive!) and afterwards went to meet Sara and Annabel in Ebisu for lunch and shopping for work stuff with them! Jerome had a day in uni planned but unfortunately wasn't well at all on Monday, thankfully she's had the day off today for more recuperation, finger's crossed she'll be on the mend in time for Potter on friday!
I'll leave you with a few pics of Tokyo getting into the festive spirit.... yes that is both a tree and a man made out of plastic bottles, and also my amazing dinner I had!!
