So that was the first big weekend of the summer... |
|
Starts Thursday as usual with the canteen quiz and again no-one wins the big cash prize. |
|
Later I do my sound |
|
Bloke routine by approaching |
|
Gina's new boyfriend to say that he shouldn't feel that there's any animosity between us and then |
|
I even go and make peace with her |
|
Shouldn't have bothered. |
|
Then on Friday night we went through to the |
|
Arches... |
|
There was only one car going so some of us had to get the train. |
|
We got through quite late. |
|
Then we went to a pub to take the gear. |
|
There was no problems getting in - we saw some others waiting down the front of the queue so we skipped in. |
|
It was a good night - everyone was nutted and |
|
I ended up dancing with some blonde girl. |
|
I thought she had been quite pretty until last night when |
|
Matthew informed me that she had, in fact, been a pig. |
|
When the club finished we wandered the streets for a while until we got to this 24-hour cafe. |
|
I didn't like the look of it so we left and got a taxi back to |
|
Morag's flat. |
|
I couldn't sleep so |
|
I sat about drinking someone else's strawberry tonic wine and tried to keep everyone else up. |
|
Then at ten o'clock in the morning we went downstairs to buy some drink. |
|
We had intended to watch the football in the afternoon but we'd passed out by then and slept right through it, awaking to find that |
|
England had won two-nil. |
|
Then we went to get the train home and had a few in the |
|
Station bar. |
|
We had some stuff left from the previous night's supplies so when we got home we decided to go down to |
|
John's indie disco. |
|
Same story as |
|
Friday - lots of hugging, lots of dancing etc. etc. |
|
I couldn't sleep again so went to the park to look at the toon, taking a detour through the playpark. |
|
To get in we had to climb over a ten foot steel fence, which resulted in severe bruising of our hands, legs and groins, but we had a good laugh on the stuff, especially the tube-slide, which probably doubles up as a urinal for drunk teens. |
|
Then we walked through the woods to have a look at the toon. |
|
Big disappointment, but the mist on the lake was cool. |
|
Sunday afternoon we go up to |
|
John's with a lot of beer in time to watch the |
|
Simpsons - it was a really good episode about love always ending in tragedy except, of course, for |
|
Marge and |
|
Homer. It was quite moving at the end and to tell you the truth my eyes were a bit damp. |
|
Then we watched these young girls in swimsuits have a water fight in the street. |
|
We went up to the pub about ten. |
|
It was busy for a |
|
Sunday night, lots of people we know, including my first ever girlfriend who |
|
I still find very attractive, quite frankly, but |
|
I didn't really speak to her |
|
She's probably still a bitch, anyway. |
|
Her friend |
|
Gillian was there, |
|
I had a chat with her, she was still quite pleasant. |
|
At the same time |
|
I watched |
|
Malcolm make some terrible attempt to try and chat up a girl we know called |
|
Jo. He made some remark about her skirt that was barely there the previous night or something. |
|
I couldn't sleep again that night, thanks to some seriously disturbing nightmares... |
|
Matthew says |
|
I should cut down on the cheese. "Went out for the weekend, it lasted for ever, high with our friends it's officially summer." |
|
I got some sleep eventually on |
|
Monday afternoon. |
|
It was a beautiful day, and later that evening |
|
Malcolm introduced me to the power of |
|
Judith and |
|
Laura came round later and we sat in my back garden and drank. |
|
Then Matthew came round and we went up the town. |
|
It's officially summer. |
