This past weekend I had a couple of girlie events lined up. Friday night I went out for dinner with the group of North Americans I was with at the baby shower. Since Lori is moving back to Canada in less than two weeks, we thought we could get together for one last hurrah. We met up at a Indian restaurant in Summertown, so I only had to walk a few blocks! We behaved and only drank tea, for a few of the gals had kids to get home to that evening. But a great night of gossipy girl talk was had!
Saturday I went shopping in London with two other girls I've met through Brian's work. Gina is a postdoc in Brian's office and is from Colorado. Laura is from Canada, and is the girlfriend of Jeff, who is another postdoc in Brian's group. The three of us ventured to London for the day for shopping and getting to know each other better. Gina and Laura where pretty successful in their purchases, and I found a couple of tops. But I'm saving up some quid (slang term for pounds, like in the US we say bucks instead of dollars) to buy a dress. Brian and I have been invited to a Summer Soiree from the Royal Society and it's black tie! Fun, but also - yikes!
