Weekend news
Well Rachael is in a festive mood today after the trees went up for Christmas at the channel. Channel4 doesn’t do anything by half lemmi tell you. The trees are massive and beautifully decorated with purple and silver lights. One thing I’ve noticed is how thick and lush the Christmas trees actually are. I remember my family and I wading through dozens of sad-ass looking trees at the servo in Clarence St, only to go home with something that was minus a few branches. I always remember being so upset when it came time to throw out the tree, I would often go and visit it on the woodpile for days afterwards until it got taken to the tip.
Saw my lovely friend Alice on Thursday; it’s been too long between drinks. We headed to a Sushi party in Camden where Alice ended up totally trashed. I stuck to the soft stuff as I was still on antibiotics. House parties are in a league of their own over here, the guy Dan had hired out a DJ and invited over 40 people with a £5 cover charge at the door! It was an amazing house and the people were very ‘arty’ cool.
Friday night was spent in Leicester Square with Claire and Lynnie from work. We went for some yummy Italian then to the flicks to see In Her Shoes with Cameron Diaz. Loved it. Cried three times. Having read the book beforehand they had adapted it really well. Saturday night my new roomies Mel (actually, we’ve taken her room so technically she isn’t a roommate) Ryan, Garrett, Sophie, her girlfriend Natalie, Claire and I went out for a pub-crawl around Fulham. We started off at an Oktoberfest Bar then headed to Pitcher and Piano where we played ‘I have never’ a drinking game where you say something you’ve never done and those at the table who have done that thing have to have a drink. Very fun game and a little bit naughty! Received a text from my fave doorman from Belushi’s Gustav saying:
“Listen sweetheart, you and your friends are our stars and with your absence it’s quite boring. Do come around when you can”.
Well what could I do but go? Ha-ha. Not happy Jan that he didn’t waver the entrance fee though.
Sunday Claire and I were lazy buggers for most of the day but by 4pm we were ready to go again and headed for 2 for 1 cocktails at TGI Fridays. Due to the gentle persuasion of the Welsh barman Claire and I ended up having a fishbowl Strawberry Daiquiri, Sex on the beach, Bailey Oreo, and then two shots - a Flatliner and some other with three layers. I made some dodgy map of Tassie joke to Matt the barman (under the influence) as Claire passed on her phone number then we headed Pitcher and Piano to dance the night away.
