Day 40 - London
Entry 41 of 243 | show all | print this entry |
I enjoyed my lie-in today, and my toast with marmite & strawberry drinking yoghurt, there is certainly a LOT to be said for home comforts when you've been away for a few weeks.
James & Anna were at work, Katie was off doing errands, so I also headed out to buy a few bits & bobs that I needed for the travels, and it was very nice to walk around central London, a good friend that I know so well, with whom I've shared so many good times over the years !
Don't think I achieved much of note really (apart from a very nice Burger King which almost unbelievably involved a hot burger and hot fries !), and I was back to the house for about 5pm.
Shortly afterwards I headed back out, to meet some of the boys in town for a few beers.
We'd decided to merge my hello/goodbye drinks with another friend's leaving party (another guy called Tim was going to work in San Francisco), and the venue turned out to be another old friend, a bar that has changed names more than the singer Prince, but which has a great location just off Regent St.
Sadly Ben & Steve couldn't make it (Pricey was on Poppy Watch, Steve was swanning around being 'unemployed' in NYC), nor any of the reliably unreliable Suffolk Legends, but it was great to see Tim, H, Mark & Rob.
The bar was very noisy (great for my ear infection !) but good fun, and Rob especially enjoyed the two male stripagrams that showed up half way through.
We even managed to squeeze in a couple of games of "Killer" on a darts board on the way home somewhere behind the Liberty's department store , and this time I managed not to dislocate someone's thumb... sorry Ste !
Tim & I shared a taxi home, which was a great way to see a bit of London before we left, even if I was rather tipsy and we could have been travelling home via Baghdad for all I knew.
It was a really good night, so thanks for coming out boys ;)
I'd played it well, drunk for the second night running, and a nice hangover before Sven & Milly's wedding tomorrow. Should make it a cheap night at least !
Oh well, at least I don't have to get up early for work tomorrow like the others...
lots of love,
Al & Katie xx
