Hello everyone :)
First things first : SPRING FINALLY ARRIVED IN LONDON!
January and February have been so though, so cold and it even snowed, all in all it was just terrible.But luckily it is getting warmer and warmer.
I didn't do much over the week, I went to school and worked as much as always. On Friday I went with my little monkey in the cinema to see Shaun the sheep, because her parents evening was excellent, so we decided that a little treat would be more than required. The movie was brill, I had to laugh some much about this cheeky sheep.
On the weekend I went to a lot of museums and I enjoyed the sun in the Hyde Park.
Fiona and me went to the Saatchi Gallery, which is a private collection of Mr. Saatchi, who made a fortune out of advertisement. This gallery is full of British, modern art like Damien Hirst. It was very interesting and I would recommend it to everyone. After this we went into the National Gallery, which is very impressive. The building on its own is beautiful and it hosts a lot of very popular paintings like the sunflowers of Van Gogh.
The next day I met up with my pal from Germany Annika to have a catch up, she is involved in a very interesting volunteer project, have a look at her blog :
I also went with Fiona the other day into the exhibition ' Beard' in the Somersethouse. This exhibition is about men/ women who are embracing their beards and how the beard became mainstream. We also went for a lovely walk and picnic in the Hyde Park and the Green park, which were both crowded with people who enjoyed the sun :)
So I hope you all had a sunny weekend as well,

P.S There are only 18 weeks left until I will leave London. this definitely freaks me out a lot. I have the feeling I have to see so much more and to experience all of it. Hopefully I can do this the 18 left weeks. And sorry for this horrible quality of the pictures but I couldn't be bothered to take my proper camera with me so these are only Iphone 4 s shots.
