It is eleven minutes past four in the afternoon. I am sat exhausted and happy in front of my computer. Last night was brilliant. A fantastic venue, a two great live bands, free food, a chocolate fountain and most importantly a stunning woman on my arm.
I started off in a pub with a pint, still in my baggies, in Cannington until Vanilla and friends had finished eating (I am really weird about gate crashing in on people scoffing food). Eventually I appeared on the door step of Claire’s house and met everyone and got changed into my suit, which was very well received, drank a couple of glasses of champagne (which always gets me drunk really quickly. Never a good thing lol) and then we headed out to the ball. It was held on a farm the other side of Cannington, in a HUGE marquee, across a pond with a bridge covered in grasses and ribbons (I should point out that it was a Caribbean theme ball, water melon everywhere, bar staff in bright shirts and bunches of bananas hanging from palm trees (don’t say it, I know). Above the stage at the centre of the marquee was a huge black panel with twinkling star lights. Simply put, it looked amazing.
We had a great time enjoying the music and getting more drunk, smoking too much… Photos are here…

We left about 3am and we finally got to bed at about 4.45am, as it was getting light. Eventually got to sleep at about 7am and I woke up at what I thought was about midday, stumbled inside from our tent and found it was actually only 10am. Bugger. Worth it though.
So here I sit, now its 16.28 and I have had three hours sleep after having been awake for 24 hours straight, and the worst thing.? I am going out again in three hours.! Goodness knows how long I will last.! We shall wait and see…
Oh and just one more piccy from the ball…
