JD!
Wow, two posts in the same week, must be some sort of record for me!
Friday
Started where Thursday finished, power tools and a big pile of steel, managed to finish the job before I left. Shame the weather wasn't as good. I also got to pilot the fork-lift truck for a little bit. They drive just like GTA-SA!!
The evening arrived with quiet anticipation, I was waiting for a text containing a location to meet up with someone. 9 o'clock rolls around and still no text, hmm what to do, so I showered and went out anyway figuring I'd bump into someone I knew. Started in the Salutation, where 5 mins after walking in the person who I was meeting turned up (spooky or fate?). Proceeded to get drunk (only a little (well maybe a lot)), I'd only been in the pub 30 mins and was already on my 3rd beer. Sat and chatted for a while, got more drunk, sang karaoke. As it was getting to kicking out time in that venue decided to carry on to the Tap and drink even more, but bumped into Shaun and Helen on their way to the Turf, turned around (I was only yards from the Tap at this point) and went with them. More alcohol was consumed, joined up with ashe_dead_angel, Corinne and Steve. 3am arrived, as did closing of the pub, we all wanted to carry on drinking, so we went back to ashe_dead_angel and Corinne's place. Crashed out on their sofa (Thanks again guys) around 5am-ish (well it was getting light)
All in all a very good night was had, with the exception of one fact, but thats life, as they say the early bird catched the worm, and I was still in bed on this occasion.
Saturday
Was feeling a little inhuman when I arrose from my slumber around 11:30am, took a walk into Nottingham to find food. Food was eated in the Tap and I started to feel a whole lot better. While in the pub, wondering how to proceed back home, I realised that I had no idea where to catch the bus that would take there, or even where to start looking (the curse of driving/riding everywhere). Shaun came to the rescue with a lift as he was going to come over to mine to check the bike over and see if it would start. We would have acomplished that if he'd remembered to bring the keys with him!
I had the evening planned out until upon checking my LJ I found that Fe was having her leaving do in the White Hart. I had to put in an apperance there as I've known her 9 1/2 years and thats the only place I ever saw her, so plans then changed.
6ish made my way over to keyoke_1 and miss_c667's for a BBQ, stayed for an hour or so, then made my way to the White Hart for said leaving do. Only stayed long enough to be polite, speak to Fe and exchange numbers. Trundled off home for a quick change of clothes and vehicle, the back to the BBQ. Initally I was going to be drinking and making use of offered crash space, but after Friday evening I decided that drinking probably wasn't on the cards and I fancied sleeping in my own bed. Played taxi for Shaun and Helen, then back for a little sillyness and many laughs, finally got home about 2:30 after droping Steve and Caroline off.
Sunday
Up at 10:30 for the World Superbike racing and not much else, have pottered around, got some clothes washed and done the washing up. Not much else. Time for bed now.
