It was my birthday today. Just thought I’d let you know what I actually did. Mum, Dad, Kirsty and Rachel all stayed with me for the weekend in London, and Mum and Dad went to see The Lion King at the Lyceum Theatre while Kirsty, Rachel and me went shopping in Oxford Street and Regent Street.

In the late afternoon, we went to meet Mum and Dad at the Lyceum Theatre, plus my uncle Howard who lives in South Wimbledon. All of us went to a pub called The Sussex, near Covent Garden, before going to LIDO in Chinatown for dinner at 7.30pm (I love Chinese food).

It was a good laugh: we all started drinking at 17:20, and were all sloshed by the time we sat down to eat at the Chinese!! Course, we had more to drink after that! We went to O’Neills just off Charing Cross Road and stayed there till closing time, and then went home!
