Christmas Shopping

I took yesterday off of work. It was exciting in many ways.

To start things off, I went to the gym in the morning time. I decided to see if I was humanly capable of swimming laps. Turns out it's a bit of a stretch. Don't ask me how you are supposed to go straight in there. Needless to say I didn't last long. Oh, and the steam room has a creepy fake color-changing rock and smells of insence. It's not a happy place.

I then went over to the South Bank to meet up with Mark for lunch. I had some goats cheese and spinach pizzettes or something like that and a side salad. To undo some of the healthy, I ate some of Mark's fries.

After this I went Christmas shopping. I spent some time in and around Covent Garden and even took a side trip over to Harrods. Whilst in Harrods I walked by a £31,000 marble bath tub. Like, um, yeah. When is that ever, ever going to be a good idea? I spent £3 on dog treats. Oh, and the cruel people there also have a little room where there were puppies running around. There were two Cavalier King Charles Spanials and they were indeed the cutest things ever. But again, who would buy a puppy from Harrods? Anyways, I accomplished a lot of shopping and in basically no crowds, so I'm quite pleased.

It's a bit sad being back at work, but probably for the best! This weekend will be a bit more laid back and homely, but before then I have Nutcracker tomorrow night and the omminous company Christmas party on Friday!
