Gary had kindly offered to let me stay over at his so that I could at least enjoy a drink and not worry about having to Park. I had arranged to meet Marcello for lunch in Soho and and so made my way to Gary's for about 530PM. We had been supposed to be at Sam's flat for 7PM for a pre party cocktail. However Public transport wasnt in our favour. I knew there was a reason I always like to take the car. We waited forever for a bus and again forever for a train but finally got there at 745PM. Half of the gang was there, Sam, Ben, Amanda, RJ, Mikey, Steve, Fifi & Vinnie and Big Dick who co hosts with Julian on Saturdays plus a whole load of other people i recognised from events over the summer. Sam introduced me to Richard and it was one of those moments where I didnt realise who it was at first. Then once we got down to the bar at 815 I realised immediately. He was the friend of Julian Bennet who was in my Hotel room during Euro Pride. I knew I never forget a face.
Several Magners later we were all a little festive and they soon ran out of Magners (How very dare they!) so had to switch to Beer. How Calorific.
Sometimes the best of plans go to pot, we had bought travelcards and so had planned on catching the last train back into London. When I next looked at my watch and several glasses of Champagne later it was already 130AM. Ooops, no more last train eh?
We ended up chatting and chilling with everyone until gone 630AM and got a taxi back to Clapham. By the time we finally got into bed it was gone 8AM. I thought I was going to have a nice quiet evening out but ended up just as mad as always. It was great to see everyone again and as always, Roaming Reporter RJ for poo on a Stick news reporting back for the nation. The things we do when we are drunk.
Fabulous night out, and one that I will probably be catching up on sleep over for a fair few days yet. Well life is for living right? Just wish my babycakes could have been there to enjoy it with me. It doesnt matter where I am he is always in my heart and mind. I guess that is proof that no distance in time or space can lesson the love of two sealed at the heart.
