This evening, I was so tired... like so SO tired, that I was just going to have dinner, take a shower, do my laundry, hang it up to dry then go to sleep.
Ummmm...no. I got out of the shower, and went to knock on Abigail's door at about 7.20 with my basket of dirty laundry, because we were going to do laundry together (with Berlin). Turns out after I left the dinner table, Beth, Abigail and Teresa had decided to go to the Southbank Christmas Market which started today, and they had planned to meet at 7.30!
There went my quiet early night. I GOT SO EXCITED! I was already in my pjs, and my hair was still wet etc... In short, I was just not in a presentable state, so I got dressed really really fast, and blow dried my hair and chucked on my boots and grabbed my coat and I was at reception at 7.30. *Proud*
Today was the first day of the market, and it was surprisingly quiet. Which is good, because I don't like pushing through crowds. There were heaps of random things on sale- gloves, scarves, christmas decorations, mini books, fake snow...
There was even a merry-go-round!

Here are some more pretty lights
Some of the things for sale
And I bought a gingerbread heart!
This is Abigail and I waiting for Beth and Teresa. In the end we went home without them.
This market is open pretty much all day from now until Christmas, and it's really close to uni, so I'll probably go back at some point. It's quite small (only took us an hour to walk through all of it and back), but the atmosphere is so Christmassy!
