Weekend fun

I had a pleasant weekend. It was my cousin's 40th birthday on Friday and her husband was bringing her down to London for the weekend so I went out with them and their 2 kids for a curry and a few beers on Friday night. Saturday was to be a surprise day for her. She was getting a massage in the morning, going to see a show in the afternoon and i was organising dinner in the evening for us and various members of our family. Considering how disorganised i am and the fact that i had no table booked until about 3.00pm on Saturday, it all came off surprisingly smoothly. And then on Sunday I had a good Sunday lunch in Camden with a friend, walked down along the canal and through Regents park and in to town and finished the evening off watching NFL with a few beers.

My cousin has an incredibly cute 18 month old son. On Friday night we were waiting in the hotel bar for my cousin and he was dancing along to songs on the tv which was very cute. Then pooed himself while standing up. His face screwed up with the effort of it all and he moved in to a slight squatting position with both hands clenched. That also made me laugh. And in Belgos for the dinner on Saturday night he was taken by the waiter to meet the chef, who gave him a hat and an icecream to eat which again made him look very cute.

And during our walk along the canal and in to Regents park some bastard chucked a dog in to the canal from a bridge abandoning it in the water. It got out fine and seemed ok but still seemed entirely uncalled for.
