andrewducker | Weekend

My brother

drainboy is up for the weekend, so I was out drinking with him,

trashcanglam,

in_thy_bounty,

tisme and

redshira on Friday night (by drinking I mean lemonade, my life being largely teetotal). Twas fun, especially repeatedly persuading

trashcanglam to phone his wife and get permission to leave her with the kids just a _little_ bit longer.

Saturday, myself

drainboy,

stenchpuppy (the other brother),

spaj,

dapperscavenger and George WINOLJ all gathered to play poker (with

stenchpuppy's wife providing snackage and kibbitzing. £5 was deposited in the pot by each of us, and needless to say I ended up £5 less well off at the end of the day.

I then dashed home in time to meet

original_aj and give him the two mattresses from our futons - now surplus to requirements due to the new sofas. I now have to get rid of two futon bases, which will require a call to the council I suspect.

Then Susan WIANOLJ turned up, and we watched Family Guy episodes until 11pm then headed into town, met up with

drainboy, wandered to The Mission and met up with

tisme -

stenchpuppy and Meredith were supposed to join us, but singularly failed to do so, begging off with excuses about 'headaches' and 'explosive diarrorhea'.

There was then much dancing and German Expressionist Cinema (FW Murnau's Faust was projected onto a handy wall) and I got to dance to Cubanate's Oxyacetylene, whih is pretty much enough to keep me happy.

Exhausted at 2:30 I dragged Susan back home, helped her unroll her bedroll and collapsed into unconsciousness.

Soon I will rouse myself and see if there are any plans for today...
