Musings on a world I am no longer sure about

Ooh. There are going to be roadside tests for drivers on drugs according to the (hate)Mail today. Yay! Bank holiday weekend started on Friday with the departure of Kris from work - so we all went to the pub and got a bit merry. The Blue Anchor in Hammersmith is very pretty - sits on the river and we all sit outside. Gorgeous day, so very pretty. Met Kris’s girlfriend whose name I’ve forgotten which is a shame as she was very very cool indeed. Got invited to go on to a party with them but declined as I was meant to go to Retro. Drank too much by far. Entirely failed to get to Retro in time for last orders so texted Davie to apologise for not being able to pick up an application form and went home. Up earlyish Saturday and pottered about until Gayrath arrived (looking absolutely gorgeous) and we went to lunch in the gorgeous Café Verdé off Narrow Street. It’s a posh corner shop in essence that has a cafe attached. They sell Green & Blacks chocolate spread as well as all of the cheese... After the main the Food Delivery Service Assistant (waiter) asked if we wanted coffee so I looked up at her and asked if she had a cake menu - she replied that she didn’t but could tell us about them and proceeded to ("we have chocolate mousse, which is Mmmmm yummy") so Gareth had the mousse and I had white chocolate truffle thing. Got bored waiting for them to give us the bill and made origami rather unsuccessfully out of napkins. My Origami-Fu is waning Walked home feeling *very* full - took some pics of Gareth by the river - generally sulked at lack of totteh wandering around naked and went home. Met up with Birthday Lloyd at the flat as we were off for our curry evening. Wandered to #1 Brick Lane for 6pm (tho we were a little late) and failed entirely to meet up with anyone else, so went for coffee at Spitz (the rather fabulous restaurant I’m a bit fond of at Spitalfields). Sat there waiting for a call from Adam but no - Ended up deciding that we couldn’t be arsed with curry so we had food there. Yummy but we spent about £90. Oops Justin (straylight) turned up and joined us as well. Poor Gareth was about to burst by this point as I think I fed him too much. I had steak, Lloyd had bangers n mash, Justin had steak (cooked “well done”! Philistine! Mine was still moving when they brought it to me, muahaha!) and we had some surprisingly pleasant House White. Then some crackers and cheese (mmmunpasteurised) and Lloyd had a dessert which he thought wasn’t going to fill him up but did Trundled off to Retro to meet zaty as it was his birthday too. Caught up with Jack (cockaigne) there. Was trying to convince people he wasn’t very gay *snigger* A small table filled with Outers had a man on it louder than Salvador, which was rather impressive, considering. Decided to go back to the flat with ZatyGareth and beer (and a bottle of wine) to watch DVDs. Gareth managed to pass out within seconds of getting through the door and I went to bed shortly afterwards, but not before giggling at most of a Bill Bailey DVD courtesy of zaty. Up on Sunday went to Waitrose where I spent FAR too much on picnic equipment and food, then trundled off to picnic in St James’ park with mojen, bump, owen, kee (and his new boything Jason), lloyd, adamamyl, zaty, gayrath and some other people. Smoking drugs in a royal park is naughty so I didn’t. Some of the rest of them did though, which meant many people rolling around grass giggling at silly things. Fed Zaty lots of cold meats. Zaty fed lots of people pimms with garden in it. Considered feeding squirrels the bits of alcoholic garden that were left, but couldn’t be bothered to move. Bumpy told me he’d done it before and got some squirrels pissed, so I was quite tempted... Left the park at about 6:30 and wandered to the Kings Arms to try and find people. Couldn’t find any of them so went home and ch
