Brazil...sigh.
Farwell dinner tonight for Alice at a Vietnamese restaurant in Old Street. The lucky cow is travelling to India and Nepal before returning back home to Oz. I have a sneaky feeling she'll be back though...
Spent half the evening talking to J about our trip to Brazil in February. I CAN'T F-ING WAIT!! Carneval in Salvador is going to be awesome. She has worked with carneval since she was a teenager, which means she knows exaclty which parties to go to, which areas to get in to, where the good artist are performing etc. After carneval, Natal is going to be even better. Staying with her family, going to the best beaches, driving jeeps in the sand dunes.... And drinking LOADS of caipirinhas. And since her family is one of dentists and doctors I'm going for full check-ups. Brilliant. I hope I made all of you very jealous.
Had a rather awkward 'staff lunch' today at work. Our line managers at work has felt pretty bad about all the shit flying in the office lately, so they took us all out for lunch. The problem was that we thought it would be more of a meeting, where we discuss matters arising at work, and they apparently saw it more of a social thing. Hmm.. Well, the jokes got going after about 30 minutes and then it was less stiff. Next time maybe it would be in order to suggest that alcohol is consumed.
Night night
