I was on holiday from school AGAIN (not complaining) for half
term. I had a week to relax and
unwind. I decided not to leave Lagos but
to, instead, spend time with my Lagos peeps and try out some of the new places
to go. The week started in a calm, peaceful
way. I had coffees in nice little cafes
like Quintessence, I bought some clothes from new shops like Rofhaus and I
attended some events like the Trade Delegation at the Austrian Embassy, a
fashion event at the Porsche garage and an art exhibition at the Civic Centre. It was blissful and fun and I met some
interesting new people. I had a few
glasses of wine; I chatted and held my own with Lagos’s up and coming creative
minds.
This sophisticated and sensible ‘Laura On Holiday’ didn’t last too
long. I was tempted by the beers and margaritas
at Bottles. I was all too happy to glug
down wine and get drunk on the conversation at Ocean’s Basket while nibbling on
sushi. I was enthusiastic to accept the
free double vodkas and red bull at Sip and I allowed myself to be dragged from
a club and bundled into my car before my eighteen year old crazy self (who I so
dearly love and miss) made an appearance.
The week deteriorated into a drunken oblivion. Loud, luvvy, drunken ‘Laura On Holiday’ came
out to play. But man it was good. The memories made are like gold. The week ended with a lovely chilled Sunday
at my pool with friends. Lagos Living
indeed.
