Thursday night at the OXO Tower Bar, unplanned but fun, Christelle and I met for a catch up and she works near the OXO.  We thought that we’d go for one and enjoy the view for a bit…

I drank a manhattan, Christelle ordered a Negroni and we chatted for a bit.  Christelle’s partner was also in London for work so she texted him to tell him where we were if he wanted to join us and I told Ma about the view…

Ma said she was jealous as she only had a run in her evening plans, Christelle and I said she should come and join us.  It didn’t take much to convince her…

Or Mike…

We talked about weddings (Mike and Christelle’s next year!), nephews (Olly, of course and Christelle’s three nephews), getting Christelle’s mum over to London next May and going for a pre-wedding getting to know you outing (I have known Christelle for 10 years, we used to share a flat, but I’ve only spoken to Irene on the phone – and then only enough to hand the phone over or tell her Christelle wasn’t in – note to self improve French before next year!!), hen night plans, how lovely manhattans are, 10k training and how much I love my new running shoes, the 5k Christelle, Ma and I are doing in July, work (them), looking for a job (me), my parent’s wedding and the photos, my brother and sister in law, Christelle’s brothers and the alarming fact that Bruno is 30 this year!, Grace and the God’s Not Fair Service and anything else we could think of.

I also took increasingly blurry photos of the view..
