We said our Goodbyes to Claire, gathered our things and headed back to Los Angeles.\u00a0 Once back in the city we took the Lexus back to Brad.\u00a0 Having chilled out with Brad for a while and explored a little more of the city, Brad cooked and I decided to go for a walk.\u00a0 Brad had suggested that “the Grove”, a shopping area, was a nice place to go so I headed in that direction.\u00a0 En route a guy in a garage used his intercom to shout out compliments to me which was amusing.\u00a0 When I asked a couple if I was going the right way they informed me that they were heading to the cinema at The Grove and advised that I walk with them.\u00a0 As we crossed a road some woman decided to try to run me over and the guy whisked me out of the way before promptly shouting at the woman.\u00a0 Although roads confuse me at the best of times, particularly as my natural instincts as to which way the traffic should be coming from have gone out of the window as it changes so much when you’re travelling, the man was green and we had right of way.\u00a0 The guy who saved me (actually the car was going at about 3 miles per hour) said that they were going to see Valkyrie.\u00a0 I commented that I saw “Four Christmases” and he said that he wouldn’t see the movie out of principle as Vince Vaughn is in it and he’s “rude and arrogant”.\u00a0 The guy apparently knew this as he was a film director, had worked with him and directed “Wedding Crashers”.\u00a0 So, having been rescued by a film director I arrived at the Grove.\u00a0 The place was beautiful with lights everywhere, jumping fountains, Christmas decorations and even fake snow at 7pm.\u00a0 It really got me in the Christmasy mood which was a bit of a shame as I was a day late.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On the way back to Brad’s house someone shouted something and threw an object out of their car which missed my face by a matter of millimetres.\u00a0 Back at Brad’s I told the guys about my entertaining trip and we had an early night at Brad’s house.\u00a0 It wasn’t the most comfortable night though as for some reason the heating decided that we didn’t actually need to be kept warm!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
