2011!

Yay, 2011 here at last.

Was awake till 11pm last night, can't have been many fireworks as I then slept all the way through till 6.30.  Watched Grumpy Old New Year last night and agreed with the lot of it lol - think I should have been on there.

Although we don't celebrate New Years eve, we do something on the 1st that we really enjoy. Today, as last year, we went up to Covent Garden, had a Starbucks or two and spent a few pleasant hours wandering around the shops. Had a lovely look around Cath Kidston and the Covent Garden Market. Was most disappointed to find that a shop I really wanted to visit - Filofax - was closed :(.

Then we headed to our favourite restauant - Won Kei's in Chinatown. It isn't the most of classiest of restaurants but the food is fantastic and very very reasonable. It is well known as having the worlds rudest waiters but I never noticed them being particularly bad, they are very busy and just do not waste time on excellent customer service - luckily the food speaks for itself.

We were extra lucky today in that we managed to find a free parking space. Its mad that you can park in the West End for free but if I went to my local town I would have to pay.

So all in all a good day was had by all and a lovely start to the new Year.

Tomorrow have promised my youngest. B, to take him to our nearest big town - Chelmsford to let him speak some Xmas vouchers on DVD's. I don't often go shopping with him alone and am looking forward to it, when he isn't arguing with his sister he really is good company.

Now am going to collapse in front of the telly - walking around London is so tiring.
