Well, y’all know what happened on Dan’s B/Day
, so this is what happened on mine:
Dragged myself out of bed at 9am to call Kate to ask her if she wanted to go to a jazz evening I saw on the way back from the previous night. She was dubious, but said yes, and we had a chat. I then left Andy still snoozing at 10ish, and it took about an hour to get home and when I did there were cards and parcels on my bed, and mum came and gave me some more.
I then called the place to find that we had to eat if we wanted to go there, so I thought screw that, and spent a few minuets trying to search for somewhere else. I eventually found somewhere called Café Flure, up on Canford cliffs, and rang around everywhere telling people what was going on. Once that was sorted, I spent the rest of the day trying to finish of a page for my website.
When Owen got home at 6, he brought me four speakers, which I then spent ages playing with. Monkey turned up at about 2015 and we got underway, and went and collected Andy and Dan, and Kate and Trevor.
The place was packed. We arrived at 2130, got drinks and then stood outside, until I decided I wanted to listen, and loitered in the doorway of the café [which FYI, was tiny]. I danced quite a bit, with occasional wanderings out to see if everyone was okay. Owen and Sarah went home about 2200 ish ‘cuz it’s past Sarah’s bedtime’. The three monkeys [Andy, Dan and Monkey] just talked about stuff, though Dan did come dance with me for a bit, and tried to persuade Andy to dance with me as he was going to get the band to announce our engagement. Kate and Trevor talked the entire night, I really don’t think they had fun since Kate professes to hate jazz, and she can’t dance to it, though near the end of the night, I did get her dancing to it. We were also dancing together, and quite provocatively. The annoying thing about that was that the rest of the café noticed, the band noticed [and kept making eye contact *blush*] but Andy didn’t! Grr men!
The band finished at 2330, and we spent the rest of the evening chatting until mum came to pick us up.
It was a fun night, even if Dad didn’t come, and no one but me really liked the music.
List of presents I got:
Pair of really nice comp speakers X2 [from Owen and Sarah]
A nice belt [from those two in Malta]
A bunch of socks,
A proper jewelery case,
A ‘Lil’ Miss Naughty’ pair of PJs [from Mum and Dad]
A dragon letter opener [from Barry]
A wolf t-shirt [from the rest of the Sullivans]
A big box for keepsakes,
A little pewter box,
Two books [from me, yes I'm really bad, I buy myself presents]
Picture of DruidX [from Ian]
Hugs from everyone else.
