What a splendid weekend! Saturday I went to bikram which was HARD WORK but I am working through my stiff knee which is handy. After bikram I went home and started my garden mission, having successfully purchased garden gloves and cutters from the trusty 99p shop! IT HURT MY HANDS. The gloves, despite the packaging, were NOT thorn proof. Luckily Katy came round and saved me from my thorny hell and we watched Come Dine With Me with Sarah and had cocktails and fizzy wine and lots of Lidl cakes which I dropped on the floor but were still good!
At 7 o'clock we left for our classy night out - a night at Wimbledon Dog Track! Despite being a Wandsworth Commoner for over a year now I had no idea this wonderous venue was just down the road! It had to be rectified. We strolled down and met up with Lex, Luan, Amelia and Angela and got our bargain vouchers for the evening: entrance, a bet, a drink and a disgusting meal in a bag! Wonderful! We threw ourselves into the spirit of the evening with relish, placing multiple ridiculous bets on the dogs with the best sounding names. Katy bet on a dog called Katy who turned out to be a right nutcase and came last, haha!

Bad Katy!I somehow ended up being talked at by a disgusting smoking lout who clearly was down the dogs every weekend and who promised to buy me a drink if he won....oh, good! We lost every one of the first five races so retreated inside for our disgusting meal. Me and Amelia had bespoke veggie burgers which were inedible, and Lex was poisoned by a pie in a bag.
Daz and Hass turned up and joined the fun, Daz bet a fiver (high roller!) on the first race and won! Unbelievable! So I got him to pick my next dog, and that won too! However, I only won 60p due to my miniscule bet! Bumped into the lout again who pawed me and then asked me out...oh the humanity. I politely declined. Soon the last race rolled around and we all placed our final bets....and all lost. Curse! What fun though!
Sunday was a somewhat classier affair than the previous evening, as I met up with the family for a day of culture and Shakespere! Splendid! I met the rents and Meist outside the Tate and gave Fad Cool his father's day card and gift which he loved. Had to create a bespoke card as nowhere sold 'Happy Fad Farj Day' cards. Then we had pies at Eat and had a nice wander up le Thames where Fad told us how Mad had busked on a random piano outside St Pauls and sung Hey Jude on their way to meet us! We went to my favourite southbank pub for a bottle of wine and a cheese board (classy!) by the Thames and I pissed off a New Zealand staff member by asking for coffees and making him leave the crowded bar area to go and make them, haha! We headed to the Globe at 6pm and got cushions in preparation for the hard, hard wooden Globe seats! The show started at 6.30, Romeo and Juliet, it was amazing! Studied it for GCSE but hadn't read it since, forgot how amazing it is. Tibalt was hot also! Pleased we had seats, don't know how people stand in the yard for the whole three hour performance! Looks painful!
Tremendous weekend in summary!
