Planning the weekend

Friday!I love Fridays because I can go out at night, wake up late on Saturdays and enjoy London during two days. Since I've been here, we always do the same thing on Fridays, after work, we meet on a pub by our apartment in Seven Sisters, and with a cool drink and some chips we start planning. Later, we go home, have a shower, get dressed and ready to dance! On Saturdays we, normally, don' t get up so early, that's why we have a quite breakfast-lunch at home and the plans goes on. If we are no so tired, maybe some dance for Saturday night also and more visits on Sunday, ending the weekend in Bricklane having dinner.
So, it's Friday...have a nice weekend!!

Cool weather

I woke up this morning at 7 o'clock, well, maybe it was 7.30 but when I've opened the window of my bedroom there were no sunbeams like other mornings and, of course, that have made more difficult to get up my roommate. I miss the sun, the beach, the hot weather (maybe no the 43 degrees that they have now in Spain) but London seems so different. One the other hand, it remains me the weather of Asturias (in the north of Spain), where my family lives now.
Well, maybe today it's not a sunny day but after work I will enjoy it like if it was.

Tourist weekend

I've been here for a month but it hasn't been until this weekend that I've started visiting London city. Last Thursday, my roommate and friend Paula (in an internship in London too) and me, we received a visit from Spain, so we have spent the whole weekend walking from side to side visiting different places.
On Saturday morning, our friend got up us a little early to go to Candem Town, we spent the morning there, walking between different kind of shops, and after a quick lunch there, we continued shopping in Oxford Street. Got home, a quick shower, a beautiful dress, high heel shoes and ready to have party!
Getting up on Sunday morning was a little bit difficult but we still wanted to see things, that's why after a huge coffee we started our London tour. Whitechapel, Liverpool Station, the Big Ben...and finally and amazing dinner with some dance in Bricklane.
It has been a really good weekend!

Welcome!

Welcome to DHA's new blog! In the first post of the blog, I just want to say "hello" and tell something about me, the writer of the blog, at least for a while.
My name is Lorena, I'm from Spain and I am spending my summer holidays on an internship in London. I finished my Journal
ism studies in June and, hopefully, I will finish Broadcasting studies next year.
The DHA's te
am has proposed me the challenge of writing a blog with my experience as intern in the company, as a "baby" journalist in the PR sector and as a tourist in London City, as you can see...I have accepted the challenge! To start this blog in a good mood, here you have a funny picture of me supporting Spain's team on the World Cup!
(Sorry for my current and future spelling or grammatical mistakes, I'm working on them!!
