Shucks, it's Shoreditch

After a rather uneventful week, punctuated by Thea's appearance on TV and the start of Big Brother, God help us all or rather the only guy stuck in the house with eleven girls, the weekend couldn't come any sooner. My new flatmates Adam and Miriam moved in via a million trips up the stairs, and I am very excited at the prospect of Spanish lessons (homework and tests included). Adam is Australian and Miriam from Madrid. Saturday brought beautiful weather, markets, park lazing, and Shoreditch. It began with a bit of a shakey wobble; the perils of dressing for a night out coupled with the formulation of a plan for shrinking down, whilst eating banana cake. When we finally made it out, we ended up waiting forever to catch the #35, finally jumping on the #344 instead, only to see the #35 arrive as we drove away. Anyway, as this was our first forray into Shoreditch, none of us really new where to go. In the end, we picked a club, and hoped for the best. Our faces must have said it all when we walked in and there was literally 8 people and 3 bar staff who looked like they were in serious need of an expression. The music was good, there was just a lack in body warmth!! Before long, to our relief, it began to fill up; we had obviously come a touch early. The only problem was that as the number of people increased, the quality of music decreased. Having had enough, we decided to call it quits, and en-route to the kebab shop, Claire bumped into someone she knew!!(Quite rare in London) With these two little Swedish boys, we attempted to find a watering hole, but didn't have much luck, ending back at the kebab shop for the most unsatisfying kebab of my life, and attempted to get home, another palava in itself. Again, the #35 didn't come, so we took another bus to Liverpool in order that we would have a better chance of catching a bus our way. When it finally did come, it didn't stop, so we were left talking to a lonely security guard on the door phone. Well Mish talked and Claire and I looked on amusingly. We did eventually make it home.
