Night Out with Friends

Once again, its been a while!!

Have just been busy working, working and more working. Its going really well, enjoying it and absolutely love seeing and being with the people I work with. My 3 month review is coming up this month, time has just gone by so quickly!! Once Iv had my review, I will get a special membership card which gives me highest membership and access to any of the Cannons health Clubs in the country. I also get one for a friend or family member if I wish to have one. Pity there are no Cannons Clubs in Wales!!

On the 26th of January, 6 of us from work (4 lifeguards, 2 gym guys) went out for the night as one of the lifeguards, Damiano, is going back to Italy, so it was a little leaving dinner that was organised. We went to an Italian Pizzeria in Fulham where Damiano used to work, a very nice, quiet place with great food!! We all met up pretty late, as some were working that night. Once we got there, we had a few drinks and had some bread. I was introduced to the tradition of eating the bread dipped in Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar. I was hesitant to try it, but Tony(Gym guy) sitting next to me kinda made me....haha. Im glad he did, because it was kinda good. We then all ordered our food, we all decided on pizza's, and they bring them as metre long pizza's with different 25cm sections as opposed to individual pizza's, very cool! I had ordered a parma ham, mozzarella and fresh rocket pizza, it was delicious!! But also tried some of the others as we all had bits of each others. We didnt manage to even finish it all, we were all so full eventually. After a little while, we had dessert. I had chocolate mousse and some of Tony's tiramisu. Again, I had said no thanks to it coz it had coffee or somethin in it, and he made me try it again, saying you could hardly taste it, so I did and it was amazingly yummy!!!! I was pretty chuffed wif meself for having tried the bread, the pizza with the rocket and the tiramisu. We all just chatted for a while afterwards and then it was going on 12am so we had to go.

We said goodbye to the others and I left with Sanaz(Lifeguard) and Saeed(Gym guy, ex-lifeguard), they are brother and sister from Iran. We were all going on the same bus, just to different tube stations. Along the way, one of their friends happened to be around, so he stopped and picked us up at one stop and he drove me to the station I needed to be at. Sanaz and Saeed were going out to a club for their cousins party, so they dropped me off at the station and then left for that. Well, as I got to the station, the man was closing the gates, I had missed the last train!!! Stuck in Central London at 1am, wondering hoe to get home, especially because I live so far out of Central London. So I called Saeed and told him the situation and they came back to fetch me. They were gonne be staying at their uncles house in Kensington that night so they said they would drop me off at the house and I could spend the night and go home the next day. The house was amazing, sooo huge!! I felt soooooo posh to be staying there, haha.

The next morning, when I left, I walked outside and had no idea where I was as when we got there, I was too busy chatting and didnt see where I was, so I had to google to postcode on google maps to see where I was and what the closest station was. Eventually I got home after a very long, fun night. We took a few pics at the restuarant, so check under Work Pics.

Besides that, not been out much. Spend alot of time at work, even when finished my shift, I stay there and swim and chat to people or go to the gym. Saeed or Tony are going to do a program for me, so will start that as soon as it gets done.


This past weekend, I was in Cardiff again and we finally went to the new pool that opened there. Its a brand new centre with an Olympic sized pool(50m) and a seperate leisure pool, with 4 slides and a lazy river and lots other fun things like you would find in a waterpark....like the old waterworld. We swam a few laps in the big pool, then went on to the other pool. We had to queue a while to go on the slides but they were fun once we went on them eventually. Otherwise just swam about and relaxed in the pool for 2 hours or so. It was very busy, so couldnt do much else. We went back to the big pool after a while to swim a few more laps, and then back to leisure pool for a little bit more and then went home, to watch Six Nations rugby.......to see Wales beat England.....HAHAHA!!!

Working this weekend, so I have a day off tomoro. :)

Will definately make more of an effort to update this every week. 11 more weeks till i come home to visit, I cannot wait!!!!!!! Miss you all soooooooo much.
