What have I been up to since I got back from the US?

Apart from being jet-lagged, not so much.

Finished Lost and started on Desperate Housewives. Been to Body Attack @ the gym, had friends over for Mexican, didn't go to Zumba on Tues, Ceroc on Weds or Metro Centre on Thurs as planned. Last night I went on a Couch Surfing social in Union Rooms.

Today I have met Mo (who now lives in Germany) and B for lunch at Bangkok cafe and for coffee at Caffe Neros, followed by a trip to the Metro Centre to meet Joo-Lee, Andy and Nina to see Inception and go for a Kir Royal at Cafe Rouge!
