- Boozy weekend, first with [livejournal.com profile] vulgarcriminal and others, including Real Life Friends, then SB. Shrublette likes my lap as well as my floppy doggy ears (*facepalms*). Pugsley tried to go to sleep in my sleeve.

- Week off the gym hasn't hurt. Ran faster than usual. Go Me. Next stop, the Great North Run (half marathon) next year. Still no endorphin rush, but is bloody nice to get better at something I was always rubbish at.

- Bumped into [livejournal.com profile] neilhist; me on way to lunch, him on way to gym. Hmmmm, maybe this is why he's doing better at the shaping up thing than me?

- Ate All The Garlic In The World (with a bit of chicken & rice) at Koh Samui. V Nice Thai food. I smell now.

- Saw Quattroporte & Vantage. V Nice. Still want an Alfa Spider, though.

Ouf.

Champagne & Mason du Chocolat evening at Space.NK, courtesy of Sports & Social.

Nice to know that "Do what you like", said to a makeup atrist, leaves me looking the way I do when left to my own devies (i.e. Dita / Bettie 1950s look). Being let loose on bright red lipstick makes makeup artists happy.

Off to try Eve Lom cleanser now before I fall into bed. Unk.

I do a very good impression of one of these. (Link via [livejournal.com profile] moony)

Am just about recovered from [livejournal.com profile] snapesbabe's Bad Influence. Ahem. Realistically, 4 pints over 6 hours isn't much, but when it's Kriek & we're both small girlies...

I'm ohsodefnitely a Circulus fan. They take the "Whee, happy old music!" that the Mediaeval Baebes started off with, and replace the so-far-up-themselves-they-open-their-mouths-to-see attitudes with 70s prog rock and 4-armed keyboard players. Also, Gentleman's Pistols were a damned fine support band, in all their 70s rock early Led Purple behind-head guitar playing. Apparently, they're playing Manchester sometime soon, and I'm going to go & see them again. I'm so easily bought - dedicate a song to me & I'll throw publicity at you ;)

The Shrublette is everything SB says, and more. I wouldn't have the energy myself, but if all children were like her I wouldn't dislike them all on principle. Even if she did say that my hair was "floppy doggy ears".

I got 50% of the things on my To Do Over Easter list done. This included "Going to see Circulus" (admittedly, not a hardship) but not mowing the lawn or clearing visible carpet in the spare room. Ho hum.

It seems to be me. However, for some unexplained1 reason, I ended up in Hyde Park watching REM2 this weekend, when there were perfectly good Rammstein and Meatloaf concerts on elsewhere.

If I hadn't been comfortably beered3, I'd have realised that getting Separated From The Herd would have been a good thing. Well, the agreed meeting place *was* the Aston Martin garage (Volante & Vanquish atm) :)

Still, saw a Real Live DB9 walking back later - twice - and a Maybach (the car even Mum & Dad would have to sell their house to buy).

Somehow, I avoided getting very interesting suntan lines rom my tshirt-with-cutout-Superman-logo.

And we found singing drunken Australians4 on Sunday. Weekends don't get much better than that :)

1 - Well, unexplained other than being invited by [livejournal.com profile] minspi. Which is a damn fine reason.

2 - Although the corowd behind us, who were watching the REALLY BIG SCREEN seemed to be watching an entirely different concert, since they were dancing, standing looking bored, and waving camera phones in the air at completely different times from the rest of us. We reckoned they were being shown the previous night's Queen+PaulRodgers show instead. Oh, and despite what the website said, the Zutons weren't on the lineup, and despite what [livejournal.com profile] minspi's tshirt said, neither were Tog24.

3 - I blame [livejournal.com profile] ukmonty for being in Bath and making - making, I say, me drink his share too.

4 - On top of beer and jugs of cocktails, they had a round of flaming sambucas. One of them at least didn't realise that you extinguish the flame before drinking...
