Tube strike...

In the span of 2 months, tomorrow will be the third London tube strike occurrence.  So I'll be taking tomorrow off work :D
Will possibly engage in some creative activities.  :D
Apart from having an excuse to stay home, these tube strikes are actually pretty annoying.  I really don't mind working, and getting paid for it D:  but it's definitely not worth catching 3 different buses, spending an extra hour in transit and sitting next to smelly/grumpy Brits.


Joglog! - So we are now on Greenwich meridian time in London.  This means that even on my early shift week, it's quite dark by the time I arrive home :(.  Yesterday I thought I'd skip going down to Hyde park and just running around the block so as to take advantage of the light.  I hated it D:
Though, I was able to run 4-5 mins each session I only lasted around 25 mins before it was too dark to continue.  Sigh
Will have to start running in the mornings.  Or sign up to the gym

Holiday retrospection- Baccarat!

 Left so much out on my initial Holiday post.  Really want to get some of these down before I forget them altogether!

Thanks to Wendys people skills, we were able to score a reservation at Bacarrat during our stint in Paris.
Formerly play house to socialite Marie-Laure de Noailles, now redeisgned by Stark, Baccarat is a massive piece of eye-candy :O!  Our delicious 3-course dinner was just icing on the cake.  Highlight of the night for me was the Museum.  In particular, the room full of glassware (bottles and vials! @_@)  and the ballroom.
Full length gilded mirrors all around and the ceilings dripping with crystal chandeliers, the ballroom resembled something out of a dark fairy tale.  Beautiful with a hint of goth.
The staff at Baccarat were also genuinely lovely and polite.  :D!
