I’ve been reading Danny Wallace’s book, Yes Man and it’s really good. He made a deal with his friend that he would answer every opportunity, challenge and proposition with a “Yes” for a few months, to make his life more exciting, and it’s interesting learning about the adventures he had because of it. I’m going to try it for a whole day – tomorrow. I’ll let you know how it goes.
Today we went for lunch at Little Venice, but our usual cafe boat was just closing when we arrived, so out of desperation we headed in to a nearby pub. The funny thing is, it turned out to be one of the best pubs ever. It was really cosy, covered in fairy lights, was playing Bright Eyes music and had fantastic food and drink. We treated ourselves to winter Pimms and hot apple juices, mulled wine and hot chocolates. For lunch, Tom had a yummy plate of camembert. It just goes to show that a seemingly bad thing can lead to a really good place.
After lunch, we went to get a Christmas tree from Clifton Nurseries – it’s an amazing place, with a lot of history behind it. It was really dark apart from trees lit up with fairy lights. The nursery itself was huge, with a florist, a Christmas ornament shop, a cafe, an organic deli and an amazing glass house. We picked the best looking tree and wandered down the street with it. It looks huge in the mew and we don’t have anything to decorate it with yet, but we’re going to craft lots of pretty ornaments.
