june is here

and its now warm again after having a temporary cold front last week. had lunch with elisa after a power gym session after waking up late. Yesterday I learned about lakes in the morning (the Caspian sea is the world's largest). Interestingly, Lake Victoria in Eastern Africa is over twice the area of Lake Baikal in Southern Siberia but Baikal contains over 8 times as much water because it is much deeper at its deepest point (1.6km deep in fact).

I spent most of the day with Caro first in belsize park, then hampstead- had lunch on the heath in the sun (in true English form everyone was wearing as little clothing as possible to maximise suntan potential) and then met Jess for coffee on St Johns Wood high street, which I'd never been to before and was quite nice. After that we headed to Fulham for Gaurav's sister's (Pooja) birthday with the Patel family. She has a huge garden which I didn't realise before and is really nice.

Drove back to the hood (City Rd) with Kunal (G's cousin) and met up with Marta, who just got back from Italy, and her friend Collie. We went to a bar called Sosho which was pretty cool.

Workwise, am on a due diligence project so am working a bit. This coming week will probably be a bit manic though am leaving Thursday evening with Tom and G to Dublin for the weekend which will be great. Have finally booked in a hotel after virtually everywhere was booked out. Apparently Dublin is super expensive (which, when you're hearing it from Londoners, cannot be a good thing!).

Spoke to SusieQ the other day for a while which was nice. She's working for a bond trading place in NY which is pretty funny (journalism tbd on the side). Spoke to Bruce very briefly at work a cpl weeks ago but not since. Spadula and DP are on my hitlist for tonight when I get back from the pint with Emilie and Simon which I better get off to now!

before i forget- went to an awesome concert with Tom a couple weeks ago- G Love and Special Sauce. Old school but so very good.

Feeling like a teeny bopper with Jojo's "a little too late" on MTV at the moment. Big Brother is comedy. Lost season finale was a crazy. Saw 28 weeks later, fracture, and zodiac (fracture being my favourite of the 3)
