Fancy Dress Fun in the S-J-Dub

After a year of threatening to do a pub crawl from our place in St John's Wood to the Marshki's in Kilburn... we finally got it together in October. And since it was October, the only way to do it was in costume. And if you're going to put on a costume, it should be an 80's themed get up... And if it is 80's themed and Chris is involved... well... then it is obviously going to be...

He Man and his once long lost sister She Ra... the sister bit was strange... CK in a blonde wig was stranger!


The Marshki's did it up with Beetlejuice and Lydia.
The whole gang at our favorite local, The Ordinance.
Alex and Oli drove down from Stoke for the festivities. Oli made a brilliant Axel Rose!

 Tim rocking the Canadian tuxedo with Laura proving metallic animal print leggings are hot!


 Anthony won a prize for best costume at the last pub we visited... and believe it or not CK won for best dancer! If only I had taken video of his Gray Skull shuffle!

I am afraid this is where the pictures end... following this last photo there was a bus journey with zombies and a cowgirl, a walk through Camden that included several random stranger photos, the aforementioned dancing contest, a long wait at a bus stop in the cold, an attempt to secure a taxi and finally a walk through Primrose Hill to get home! It is a good thing the camera was safely tucked away and forgotten about! No need to worry; everyone made it home safe and sound!

Happy Halloween!!

Here are some pictures of last years pumpkins. No time to carve any this year! Chris did the skull and I did the tree. Hope everyone has a great Halloween!



Day 3 in London!!! I am still feeling under the weather but found a pharmacy and will be feeling better as soon as they open. Chris got up at 6 am and went for a 4 miles run. I was supposed to go with him. However, I didn't think a 6 am run in the 30 degree temperature was the best way to kick this cold... plus the bed was awfully warm!

Chris got a call and an email from his new boss yesterday afternoon. He said that they have a great opportunity with a bank and they really need Chris on the project. This is great! Did I mention that this project involves Chris leaving for Singapore on Sunday evening for a week? So much for no traveling! Chris went in to the office this morning in hopes of getting a computer, cell phone, corporate cared... you know, all those things he needs to travel for work to the other side of the world! I can't believe he is leaving the day before he even starts! On the bright side, this may get him out of the the typical 1st day orientation : )

The plan for today... find a flat! I think Chris is worried what may happen if I am left to my own devices in finding a place to live. We have completely different taste when it comes to... well, everything! I like quirky character and Chris likes new. In Chris's support, I do not like the difficulty that comes with old, quirky character! Hopefully, we will find the perfect places that makes us both happy! Wish us luck ; )

XOXO
