One of the things to do as mentioned on the blog is calming down. Face it Davie - it's not going to happen before Oz, now is it? Not if this weekend's activities are anything to go by...

Friday: Quiet drink in Barcode for Little Stuart's birthday. Most of the Vauxhall people were there, and it was mad. Some friends of friends were over from Oz, and so a hardcore posse ended up at Fiction. Great fun, lots of laughs. Stumbled out of there at 5.30am and crashed out at David P's.

Saturday: Up and home. David came over and we went a househunting. Thanks again Scally for ferrying me around - it was a great help! And nice to have something big throbbing between my legs. Matron. Offered on another place. Fingers crossed. Home to veg a bit. Ate a jelly sweet and lost half a filling :o( Round to Steve and Steve's for dinner for Little Stuart. Really nice time - good food, good company. Had arranged to meet David, Paul and Pete and Paul (Oz guys) in Crash at midnight. Did so. Lots of other people there too. I finally really enjoyed a night there! Yippee! Crash's music is the normal bugbear, apart from the guys with attitude. Well they at least got the music right for once. Kind of harder than the Vauxhall, and a bit funkier too. DTPM-esque. Great. We'd then arranged to go to Trade, and having phoned Nick to see where he was (he'd overslept!) we hit there at about 5.30am. Danced our little socks off until around 11am, when Nick and I decided to walk home. As you do.

Sunday: In around midday. Decided the only thing to do was listen to trashy old 80s CD singles. Corona, Undercover, Urban Cookie Collective, Dannii... you get the idea. Crashed out around 2pm and slept until 5pm. Shower, change and down to the Tavern. Caught half of the show, which was very, very good. A slightly peripheral crowd there last night, but suddenly all those people gelled into one big happy family. One even bigger happy family I guess. Just fantastic. Music a little different too - a few more different oldies and all the better for it. Swept out of there with the rest of the trash at midnight. Didn't think I was a twin tub washing machine this week. Apparently last week I did. Oops.

4½ working days.
