alixandreaWas utterly lovely, even if I didn't make the protest in London. Erik's Mum and her b/f came down after finishing a holiday in Norfolk, stayed over Friday night and hung out with us for a bit on Saturday before going back home again. We went for lovely pizza on Friday night, then got bacon and brie baguettes, and champagne (with orange juice) and strawberries for brekkie as it was Sarah's birthday! The weather was glorious again, and Erik and I spent Saturday afternoon at the Fort St. George next to the river on Midsummer Common. The place smells of incence, and does (what looks like) very good food. Must go there again to find out... I then went home for dinner (had to finish the stew) and to get ready for the evening.
Met Erik in the King Street Run and sat drinking/chatting etc with people. Got the Rome Burns CD thanx Nev. :-) We had originally planned to go to Bedazzled at the Junction, but since I'd been drinking all day I was feeling a little the worse for wear, so we came home. I'll be at the next one though, as I'll have fliers to distribute...
Sunday we woke up slowly in style. :-) Spent a good portion of the day on my computer making fliers (Jason, I'll mail you some soon if that's OK) and listening to cheesy 80s hair metal! Looked through my drawers for more clothes to Ebay (I'll let you all know when I'm getting rid of them) and then went to The Boat Race for the blues jam, which is mandatory entertainment for a Sunday for Erik, and for me when I have no rehearsal. Sat thinking for a while about whether to go up and do anything, before being dragged up by my drummer who was also there. Did a fair rendition of 'Sweet Child of Mine' (blame the earlier hair metal...) and got cheered! Rar!
Later went back to the Run for a bit, Erik got distracted by VVVVVVVVVRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!! for a bit. Came home and got lots of photos taken for drawing purposes. *Grin*
Now up for work again... :-\ Mayhem are looking for staff, I think I'm going to go for it. I've been wanting to work in an 'Alternative' shop for a while, so this may be just what the doctor ordered. Not that I'm holding my breath, but...
I'm also on another (pre-Whitby) detox - nowt but pineapple and banana (and two litres of spring water) for me today. Still, after the weekend's excesses I could do with one, and I'm looking forward to being able to eat whatever I like at Whitby... ;-)
