Life in general

Had to umpire my first game of the season. Didn't go too badly, reckon all my calls were fair for both teams. It was interesting to see how other teams in our league are because we haven't seen them play before. It's our first year in the new division!

Bought a deal from Living Social for having my eyebrows threaded. Went on Thursday after work to have them done. The lady said threading is an ancient Chinese tradition and it's alot better than waxing or plucking. It didn't hurt too much but she reckons I have over plucked my eyebrows so have to let them grow a bit more. She said to use castor oil on my eyebrows to encourage them to grow. I have bought some Jamaican Black Castor Oil, should get it Monday or Tuesday so will see how it goes!

Friday night went to Abacus with a bunch of friends. Only stayed for a couple of drinks then it was off home.

Saturday met up with Andy & Tom and we watched The Avengers. Amazing. Really enjoyed the film especially as Thor, Captain America & Hawkeye were in it. Worth it just for them. Afterwards we headed down to the South Bank and walked along from London Bridge up to Waterloo and over to Charing Cross. There we met Natasha and we all headed to Champagne Charlies for dinner. The food was lovely and service great. After dinner we walked around Covent Garden and had a drink in one of the local pubs. Although the fish pie didn't seem to agree with me (too cheesey) so I headed home early.

Today (Sunday) me, Pip, Lou, Tom & Andy headed into Epping Forest for our first trial walk. We managed to do 6 miles today and then we stopped at the Robin Hood for lunch. It's a really nice Thai restaurant. We are going to try and do a walk every weekend in prep for our Charity Walk in June. And to carry on the walking experience I have signed up for the Shine London Walk Marathon. A bunch of the girls are also signing up, it's 26 miles through London at night! We start at 9pm and hoping to finish it before 9am! This is happening late September so after June it's continued training through the summer.
