On Friday night we went to Thrash Hit‘s first year birthday party with Raz at the Crobar in Soho. They serve root beer as a mixer, so we tried it with amaretto and that could quite possibly be the best drink ever.
On Saturday we were invited to see Ross’ new band, The Mars Patrol play the Camden Barfly. Gail Porter is their biggest fan and was there jumping around and getting on stage.
After the gig, we were standing at the bus stop when we decided we didn’t feel like going home, so headed to Belgo for mussels and beer. I tried Floris cheery and raspberry beers, which were so nice.
After waking up a little hazy on Sunday morning, we went food shopping for our dinner party. It had turned in to such a lovely day by the time we got home and our upstairs neighbours were sitting outside, so we introduced ourselves and sat drinking wine and eating sun lollies with them until Clare and Jo arrived for dinner. Raven, our neighbour from Texas, gave Tom a can of coffee from home. It has chicory in it and makes really spicy iced coffee.
Clare brought me a really cute little Japanese tea cup as a present. Clare and I are 50p penpals, so we find gifts for 50p and post them to each other. Jo and her run a stall called Pogostick Pie, where they sell adorable china tea sets – go and see them if you get a chance!
After dinner we headed to the pub at Little Venice and played Jenga, while trying not to get the blocks of wood in our pints.
It’s a bank holiday Monday but we’re working hard, as the rest of the week will be busy. I rewarded myself wish a sushi lunch on the doorstep – the neighbours looked jealous.
