Dusan was having a power nap last night from 8 PM so I invited our neighbour Thomas over for a glass of Pimms as we watched the Sunday Night Project. Dusan then woke and Thomas suggested we go to the local gay pub the George and Dragon. We had driven past it on dozens of occasions and always thought how sad it was that the place had closed down. Unbeknown to us it was far from closed but doesnt open until gone 9PM and is apparantly really busy at weekend.
So we quickly threw on some summery clothes and took the three minute walk up Shooters Hill to the George and Dragon. Its what you would call a typical English style Pub. There was a drag act on stage on Sunday evening, Tiffany something or other. She sang live and Thomas and I joined in to Copacobana. Have to confess her singing was better than the comedy.
Once the act was over we walked to the other side of the bar where another neighbour, Matt, was standing. Meanwhile, new boy on the development, sexy Steve, joint us and the five us managed to entertain ourselves thanks to the G&D till the hours of Monday morning before making the small stagger distance home to flat.
We also discovered that there is another local gay bar, just in Greenwich town centre, the Rose and Crown. It seems we are loving our new home more and more as we make more friends and discover more of the local things to do. :-)
