nutini new.


So yesterday's post was all about how relaxed I'd felt... well today was busy and exciting! Lou and I started the day off with going to the Towers of London. It was fantastic! We had an awesome Beefeater guide; he was hysterical. Lou loved him because he kept cutting down the Americans. We got to see the Armoury and the Crown Jewels. So awesome. We weren't allowed to take many pictures because it was banned in most parts, but needless to say it was beautiful.

Then we were off to Gaucho to have lunch. This is Lou's favorite restaurant and I wish she hadn't taken me there, because it is now mine! Such a posh restaurant. It was on the edge of the river with a beautiful view of Tower Bridge. And I tell you now, it was the best steak I've ever had in my life. Actually, it was probably the best meal I've ever had. So so so good. Too good for words. We were gonna go to the Dungeon after but we ended up polishing off a bottle of wine and needed to immediately go to Camden.

All of this month, there's been a festival put on by iTunes. There's a gig every night of July and all the tickets are free through Facebook. Lou won tickets to a gig tonight for Paulo Nutini (wicked famous over here in the UK) so we went to that. It was in the Roundhouse in Camden which might I say is one of the coolest parts of London I've seen yet. Such a bohemian, rocker attitude about the place and I love it. The gig was long and good and I got exposed to a few artists I'd never seen. So good. My feet hurt really bad afterwards and it was such a LONG tube ride back to Tooting. 20 stops to be exact! But now we're back, watching British TV and heading to bed. Overall, FANTASTIC week.
