RED premiere

Proper post to come... way too tired right now.

belated wishes among other things.

Also - wanna wish everyone a belated Happy Thanksgiving!

It's unfortunate that non-North-Americans don't get this amazing holiday. Luckily for me, Mabel is cooking turkey dinner on Saturday and has graciously invited me to attend. So looking forward to it - despite the fact that it will obviously not be as good as Mom's (things never are).

Work has been busy as ever - it was nice though to have Monday off. It's made this week fly by. Can't believe it's already Thursday! We're starting to get an influx of events in the diary work-wise, so I've got quite a few things to look forward to. Today I've just gotten an invite for an event celebrating the launch of the new Scooby Doo programme (buying kids airtime has its perks). Hilariously though, this event - promoting a child's programme - is being held at Vinopolis. An amazing venue that's known for wine tasting and such.

Other than that, nothing new to report.

Except. 65 days til I'm home!!

praha-ha-ha

Time for a proper post about my weekend away to Prague!

We left early (and I mean EARLY - caught a cab to airport at 3am!) and arrived in Prague just before noon. We couldn't check in yet but luckily our friends were already there. So we ditched our luggage in their room and went off to explore. We ended up climbing up to Prague's highest point where the castle and subsequent cathedral were located. It was a beauty. And as was the view.

We then went searching for a pub that Time Out has said was quite good. Once we finally found it, we realised it wasn't that great. Well, the beer was. But the food? Not so much. I ordered dumplings and got a pile of what seemed to be steamed bread. Lou ordered pork crackling and got a bowl of lard. Makes for a good memory but not a very good meal!

That night we went out on the town - mostly just hopping from pub to pub. Mark (one our friends that went along) wanted to catch the first Boston - Phoenix match in a bar but unfortunately, all they were playing was American College Football! Too funny. Lots of Americans loving it though. All in all the evening out was very fun. One of Lou's friends lives in Prague and took us to a more local place and it was by far one of the coolest bars I've been to. She led us into a normal looking pub but then we went to the very back, down some stairs, through a tunnel, more stairs and then finally to the back room which was like an underground cellar. So cool.

You can smoke in bars in Prague and as the bar was underground, very little ventilation = lots of smoke. As demonstrated in this photo.

The next day we spent most of the morning sleeping - pretty tired out from the day before to be honest. We then went on to watch the Boston - Phoenix opener. SO good! I miss watching hockey - so it was great. It made me feel back at home. Though it was funny to hear Europeans trying to say LET'S GO BOSTON. About 12,000 people turned out for the game and the atmosphere was great. And for once, beer and food was appropriately priced at the stadium. That's definitely a first!

Our last day was spent checking out the BEAUTIFUL clock tower (where the video was taken).

We then finished our time in Prague with an amazing traditional Czech meal - which was the total opposite from our first experience!

All in all, Prague was a beautiful city and a great weekend.

czech me out

just a quick video - will do a proper post with pictures later! x

picturesque.

I felt like sharing some more photos...

Me and a few of the girls at Lou's London-themed birthday party (I was Canada Water - a tube station)

Me and one of my best friends at work, Karl, who's leaving this week.

And finally, Lou and I in Cardiff.

I was watching a Christmas episode of Grey's Anatomy this morning and just got really excited and anxious to come home. I can't wait to see you all! x

media's next top model

There was a photo booth at one of the work events I went to a few weeks ago...

Just another random post...

Work has been crazy busy the past few weeks. Our September workloads are quite big so it's been a bit mental. I'm managing though. It's just a matter of learning time management and such. But I'm really enjoying it.

Had another night out on Thursday with WebTV. It was girls only so they took everyone for dinner and drinks. Bobby and Brady (a couple of friends of mine from university) were in London for a few hours so I missed the dinner bit. It was lovely seeing them though! Nice to have familiar faces around. Once they left, I went and met up with the girls for dessert and drinks. We then headed off to one of my coworker's leaving drinks.

All in all it was a lovely evening.

Happy its the weekend - been catching up on some sleep.

I've also booked my flight home! I've cleared everything with work and I'll be back in Saskatoon on 18th December and staying until 8th January. It's gonna be amazing! Although, I have a feeling that the cold is gonna throw me off guard - sort of getting used to English weather!

Can't wait to see all of you - 4 months!!
