Bank Holiday Weekend

Today's a bank holiday! YAY it means a day off work =) Yesterday we went to the Notting Hill Carnival. It was crazy, we didn't really see much of the parade, just basically loads of people everywhere. It's the 2nd biggest carnival held in Europe and we'd read in the paper that they were expecting 1 million visitors per day. Food stalls, bars and lots of entertainment all ingredients for a fun afternoon. We'd read that the crowds would be horrendous and the queues unbearable so we went prepared with our own alcohol. It wasn't actually too bad, didn't have to wait long for a loo and once you found a spot away from the main access areas you were sweet. We met up with Lee-Ann, Spence, Rich and Anna, Derek & Dave. I got very drunk...don't remember much of the evening, but was home in bed by 10pm! oh dear! =) everyone had to put up with drunk loud hayley taking a million pictures and hearing how wonderful i thought they all were...blah blah . Am feeling surprisingly ok today, although had a meeting with the toilet at 5am...gross, how old am I!? too old for this carry-on! anyways this is our last night house-sitting (with free internet!) so thought I'd get it all up-to-date. We're heading out to Hyde Park soon, gotta make the most of this fab weather and a day off work!!!

PS. Niki's just shaved off his beard... he looks so different!
