Hi guys!
If you thought yesterday was good, just
wait until I tell you all about how today went! Okay first off I'm old, and
staying out until 3 am just is not the same as it used to be when I was 19. YIKES.
Anyways that 9 am alarm was brutal, but we did it. Jes is part of this program
where you can walk people's dogs for free, aka a cool way to kind of have pet
time when you're not stable enough to actually own a pet. (I wonder if they
have this back at home because if so I'm signing up asap). So today we went to
pick up Sebastian, and it was true love. Sebastian is the cutest, most
energetic dog ever. If you kneel down he'll cuddle right up to you. So needless
to say walking him on the beach (another one of my favorite things in life) was
simply a dream come true! I had so much fun playing around that I never wanted
to leave Brighton. Alas, Jes did have to house-sit for her Aunt and Sebastian's
owner came home so we had to take him back. But what an awesome way to start
our day!
Traffic is never bad when you have a friend
to karaoke in the car with! Even if that means that she unintentionally stalled
the car at a green light because we were singing along a little too hard to
ABBA's "Dancing Queen." Oopsies. The pedestrians were totally amused,
the cars behind us that kind of missed the light, not so much. What can I say?
Life's to short to get angry about silly things, and if you thought that a
little honking and car stalling would stop our dancing queen extravaganza,
nope, we continued on at the top of our lungs like the loonies we are.
Perks of going to a friend's family's house is baby photos! Here is a great photo of baby Jes.
After checking on her two teenage boy
cousins, and seeing that the house hadn't been burned down or turned into a
total mess after a day of no parents, we adventured out to Brixton to meet
Chinello, another one of Jes' friends. If you think lawyers can do anything,
the answer is they can. Which is how Chinello literally owns her own cake
shop making this amazing fancy pants
cakes as a side hustle while working a
full time job kinda related to law. Don't worry, I'm not crazy enough to open a
bakery after three years of slaving away for a JD, but it's nice to see that
you don't have to practice law for forever. And I'm sure the cake contracts she
has are iron clad with those unsuspecting customers hehehe. After a couple of
hours chatting, I was dead on my feet and took the tube home for a nice bath
and an early bed time so that I could be fresh and ready for my second week of
work.
Stay tuned!
Xx,
Carolyn
