Happy New Year!!!

Hope everyone had a good holiday season! I had a lovely one. A nice British Christmas complete with homemade breadsauce, minced pies and a proper English trifle. Good times. Also went to Bath finally, to visit my aunt. It is a freaking beautiful city. My pictures are on Facebook so check there, but I've also put a few up below. I also went to Bristol while I was out there and it's gorgeous there too. Some pics below of Bristol as well.

New Years was good too. Went to a party at a bar on Portobello Road for New Years Eve. Good fun, great music. Then for New Years Day night I went to a massive party at a bar in 02 arena (where Michael Jackson's show was going to be performed) and it was not fun. Way too many people, the music was totally unvaried and got annoying quickly. Total waste of an outfit, not to mention the money I spent on the ticket and cab rides there and back. But whatever. It just reminded me that I've been wasting too much money clubbing in London, I need to start traveling. So, first big trip is planned for around Feb 18 to Barcelona (thanks to the voucher I got from MCG!). It's not booked yet cause I have to get the time off from work first (still at the College, my contract has been extended) but right now that's what I'm planning for.
Then P
aris in March. And then, the world! Hehe.

Super excited for 2010!!! Can't believe that last year this time I had just decided to make this trip and now I'm actually here. This time next year I want to have done and seen a lot. I also hope to still be blogging pretty regularly. My current lack of blogging is due to my current boring lifestyle. But all that is about to change. I hope. Fingers crossed!!!



Pictures are below:








My cousin's school in Bath. Pretty sure Harry Potter also attends this school.


The Circus. If you ever visit here, go to the centre where my cousin is and sing or yell. The acoustics are crazy!

My aunt's house in Bath. The one on the left.



Bristol Cathedral...no wait, Bath Cathedral. Sorry.


YES! Love olden day racist street signs!


White ladies, your health centre awaits! Hehe, Whiteladies is actually a road and apparently an area.


Here we go, this is Bristol Cathedral.

Glad to see you blogging again, Delly! Sounds like you're having a blast! 02 Arena is also where they had a few NHL exhibition games in London a few years ago. I remember it looked like a really nice arena.

Keep up the blogging, even if your life seems a little boring!

It could be worse, you COULD be in Winnipeg! Go ahead and look up the current temperature. Go on, I dare ya!

P.S. Finally saw the new Harry Potter flick! Can't wait for the last one! (I don't read the books.)
