Moving and Vagabonds

[maznige]

OK, where was I? Most of my gear is now in storage in Luton, but on 23rd May, I moved some stuff down to Howard & Lande's in North London. The guy who gave me a lift was one of the bus drivers (Nik) from Amazon! At the end, I was the only Amazon person he was picking up to take home, and we usually had about 15 minutes until we picked up the Fed-Ex people. We often got talking (we found out we have quite similar music tastes), and I told him about my impending move, and straight away, he said he's help me down to London with my stuff. I thought it funny when he arrived at my place with a PMP Recruitment bus (the agency I worked for), but it was cool as there was ample room for my stuff! We stopped off in Islington to pick his nephew, Steve, up, as Steve knew exactly where we were going. I find this really funny - Nick is black and all his nephews that I've met (Steve and one of the other Amazon bus drivers, Bod (not sure what his real name is, but he has a very good taste in music and often played Type O Negative on the bus on the way home!)) have been white! Mind you, I'd say that Nik was more mixed race.

So, we got my stuff to Howard and Lande's. When I got there, I told Lande that I probably wouldn't go to Vagabonds that night as I didn't think I was really very suitably attired. Lande then pointed out that I had most of my wardrobe in her spare room! Er... good point! Spent the next half an hour on Facebook trying to convince Dave T (a very nice young man who I've met at The Coven a few times) that he needed to come to Vagabonds with us. He gave in in the end!

So we got the bus and tube to Vagabonds...










And then we arrived!!



Talking about celery apparently!
