I had a rather disappointing couple of days. Late on Thursday night I got an e-mail saying I would not be dancing in the Opening Ceremonies of the Olympics, despite my making the call back auditions, because they have decided to use mostly kids. Ironically I had applied to be a general volunteer for the Olympics as well and my interview was supposed to be yesterday morning. I had already left the house and was almost at Waterloo station when I discovered my interview had been moved to the end of March at the last minute (thank goodness for e-mail on my blackberry).
So there I am in the centre of London at 9:30am with nothing to do until 1:00pm. I decided to go by the National Gallery and see if I could get into the Da Vinci exhibit. I arrived in Trafalgar Square only to discover people had been lining up before dawn for tickets and there were none left for today. That’s when I decided to spend my way happy and headed to Oxford Street. I ended up getting two lovely tops (on my credit card of course) after spending over an hour trying on the store with the most helpful shop assistant. And yes I was feeling better when I headed over to meet a friend for lunch at 1:00pm. I was emerging from the underground at 20 minutes to one when I get a text message from her saying she has to cancel! So I just turned around and went back to Oxford Street. I came out of the Bond Street tube station, saw a sign, and on a whim decided to have lunch at Claridge’s Hotel – just because I had never been there before. It was lovely, very relaxing, and of course the food was delicious. Needless to say I’m guessing at the calorie counts for that meal, as I’m not even sure what was in parts of it!
I did have a couple of meetings in the afternoon, so I got home about 6:30pm feeling tired, drained, and somewhat depressed again. Then my husband arrived home with a large bouquet of flowers, a bottle of good red wine, the makings of an excellent cheese tray, and chocolates. Clearly he had decided that the best way to improve my mood was through food! And you know what? He was right!
