Post-Easter
Easter Sunday was another sleep in day (yay), and it was also another gorgeous day outside. Got ready, ate lunch, started a load of white laundry- side note- so I had done a white wash before and everything came out looking a bit gray and dirty looking. Strange, and I was looking in several shops for bleach but it doesn't seem to exist in this country. I asked Alex and he said just find the detergent that says it is for whites. So I go back to the store and find something with "whites" in the name, so I figure that is my best bet. Re-wash my whites and they came out nice and pretty this time.
Back to Sunday, did some washing, then took my book and iPod over to Queen's Square and laid in the sun. When it started to get chilly I headed over to a mini market to buy some chocolate Easter eggs for me and Alex. Got 3 different ones (was one of those buy 3 for 2 deals), went over to the Fish and found Alex and Jaume upstairs just chillen and surprised them with the chocolate Easter eggs. Both were very happy. We each took one and scarffed them down (btw- apparently they say "scoffed" instead of "scarffed" over here, I got an earful for that one).
Then I went home and did a little more laundry, made dinner and then got ready to meet Nick and Patty at Mbargo's. Got there at about 9:30ish and poor Nick was falling asleep at the table. I think his choie of beverages that night turned into a sleeping potion for him. It wasn't our usual group at Mbargo's because the girls were all out of town for the holiday weekend, and no one from the Fish felt like coming out. Hung out with the guys, danced a bit, and by midnight we decided to head home. Nick wasn't going to last much longer. It was a bit of a struggle to get him in the taxi and home to Sublime but we managed.
Monday, my 4th day off. By now I totally forget what work even is. I feel like I have been on the longest vacation. Which is a good thing right? I decided to head into the City Centre and check out the shops. The current fashion trend over here is totally 80's. Leggings, geometric tops, bright colors, crazy hair,...yeah not my style. The other day I saw a woman wearing a fricken tape measurer as a belt! Wish I had had my camera for that one. Came out with two zippy jackets (love those, can never have enough), and a pair of jeans. I was gutted when I noticed my favie pair of Gap jeans had a hole on the inner thigh. This new pair is a good replacement though.
Went over to the Fish and chillen with Alex for the rest of the afternoon watching TV. It's cool on days like these when he is basially on call all day, only needing to go downstairs if it is busy or to cover breaks. And since it's a holiday, the Fish was dead, so we were able to hang out for hours and not be bothered. Had mashed potatoes and a beef pie thing for dinner and wathced Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire. Then Alex had to go downstairs and close up, and I was getting ready to go to bed since I had work the next morning. But then Jaume and his girlfriend Abi came upstairs. They had been on the piss all day and were trying to get Alex and I to go out for a drink with them. Neither of us wanted to, but at the last minute Jaume got Alex to say yes, so I put my shoes back on and we went looking for a place that was even open to have a drink.
Found ourselves at this sports bar, which was actually going to close soon, but they let us in so long as we had jus one drink. Had our drink, then Alex and I went home to Sublime and let the drunken lovers wander their way back to the Fish. I am so happy this is a short week, I can feel my motivation to work slipping. :oP
