Many balloons, small people, and toys later, I emerged flushed with success at managing to have conversed amicably (with the adults) whilst riding complacently along the wave of ceaseless attention grabbing unique to the under-5s...and having quite enjoyed myself!
But really this weekend foray into the 'wilds' of North London was for my friend's 40th birthday bash on Saturday night, a 70s themed 'fros and flares' do at Ziloufs in Islington. Now I'm not a huge fan of the whole fancy dress thing and funds being what they are (or aren't as the case may be!), I was forced to indulge in a great deal of frugal googling (70s fashion) and frantic imagining (what's in my wardrobe) to come up with 'the look':
Me 'n' the birthday girl...btw, I'm the one on the right...and that's actually someone's sequinned shirt in the background...
An hour in the mini-bus later, we found ourselves boogie-ing away to the funky sounds of Soulscape, enjoying some great cocktails and impressing the dining crowd with our general party spirit...needless to say it was a big night and a long mini-bus ride home with the remains of this on my lap...
So all that was left to do was remove the eyelashes and pour myself into my floor-level airbed (no falling out for this little black duck!). And after a reasonably gentle recovery on Sunday morning, fuelled by flat diet Coke and a small bad-for-me snackette at the tube station (a chicken and mushroom pastry if you must know), I toddled my way back to South West London...
...wrapped myself in a blanket and finished the weekend off with cheese and tomato on toast!
Aaaah...perfect!
ps...the widget thingy says there's 33 sleeps til Santa comes...that's less than 5 weeks now people so chop, chop! On with the preparations I say!
