Visiting Ams in LBG, lunch with SJ and work friends on the steps of the church by the BBC. Escape the room game in Finsbury park - aced it in 32 minutes! GWN pub quiz in Barbican with Jo&O and shaw - lovely people! DIRTY DANCING on Sunday was absolutely WONDERFUL. Kicked our ball about, took part in camp games, bought legendary BBC double LP, ate hotdogs despite having packed fajitas and a litre of G&T for lunch...! All dressed up, watching the show with a very interactive crowd :) Had a really lovely time.
