They knew I was coming!

Firstly let me set the scene...

...its 2am and i cant sleep! I have the total opposite of writers block - I have lots of words just whizzing around my head, so if this keeps changing direction just bear with me ;o)

I guess your wondering did the sausage lady do my suggestion of the sausages with chocolate in? Well, I looked on the stall as we walked past, so James could check the book stall in the market (a different market to the farmers market), and there was no sign of my suggested sausages. I came back half an hour later, and I was told that she had done them (and they were different but really nice), but she had packed them in the wrong box, and were currently being enjoyed in Loughton! But shes going to make sure she brings some next week ;o) So like me you are going to have to wait another week before finding out what they taste like! Whod have thought that one of my suggestions would actually be made into sausages!

London was on heightened security last week because of the G20 summit. I was meeting my friends for lunch on Tuesday (we were going to their staff canteen), and I was met with this sign in the reception area ;o)

It always makes me laugh ;o) I may have not liked my name as I was growing up, but noone else has an alert named after them ;o)

On Wednesday we got to dress down, so we could blend in with the protesters. It wouldnt have surprised me if the protesters came into London wearing suits so they could blend in with the city workers! My boss took great delight (he braved it by wearing a suit) in yelling at anyone coming in to our office in casual gear "protester protester get out".

The Bank of England is about a 10 minute walk from where I work, so it wasnt surprising that there were so many security guards outside of the office buildings. Our building kept the front doors locked and told everyone to make sure we had our fobs with us so we could enter the building and not to let anyone come in behind us (unless they had a fob too).

The protesters were pretty close to where we were, but luckily they were in a contained area, the camp that was set up in Bishopsgate outside of the European Climate Exchange was on my normal route back to Liverpool Street Station, so I made sure walked a different route back. My boss decided to have a look at the camp on his way back but the police had cordened it off anyway.

I think lots of people decided to have Wednesday off, as the trains wernt nearly as full as they normally are and when I went shopping at lunchtime the shop was nearly empty and I just walked straight up to a cashier ;o) if only it could be like that normally...

On Thursday a protester decided to scale Lloyds, which is a minutes walk from our office, typically it happened before lunchtime so we didnt get to see it!

Anyway its 3.15 now and Im starting to feel tired so I will continue later ;o)

Its now 12.50 I ended up getting up at about 6am so hopefully I will sleep better tonight!

My Chocolate Tasting Club Easter Egg turned up during the week, I havent opened it yet, and am planning on having choc filled day next Sunday ;o) I also bought an Easter Egg Sandwich to eat too! And sorry James Im not sharing any of it...

...its all MINE ;o) Im currently working on some Aversion Therapy so he associates eggs with pain, thus doubly ensuring the safety of my Easter Eggs...

...Ive given him a special collar to wear, I think it is working as he has started saying "eggs are bad", although he is ok with fried and scrambled eggs, he just doesnt like anything that comes in shells ;o).

I weighed myself this morning and have lost another 300 grammes - Im please about this because I have had quite a few scrummy things over the past couple of weeks, and was sure that I had probably put some weight on!
