Brooklands, Boobies and a cousin called Berine

How is that for an opening title..? Not that I am addicted to the "bees". I hate them in fact. Hate Wasps more though.. Hm, anyway, was actually working this week (Could explain the lack of Stories!). Today I was at a place called Brooklands. Big racing place. Very little in terms of people wanting a drink at the bar I was working on. Well done Creative! Hmm, I was evantually moved to the Lord's Cricket ground which made up for the slow morning. Seems the slower the sport the more people reach for the Alcohol. Bad for me, as by the end of it I was sweating and stinking of cheap beer which I managed to spill several times over myself. Urgh. I was relesed at 7 which was okie, though was forced to meet the family in west end. Bearing in mind I was horrible in smell with little energy, going from Lord's Cricket Grounds in North London to the West End was the last thing I wanted to do. Still, I smiled and went to meet my cousin Bernie, her daughter Francesca (Frankie) and my mum for Dinner and comedy. It was painful. I was not in the mood for talking, Frankie wasn't talking, and my mum got us lost on the way to Stockpot..Brilliant.


A little history about the Family..
Bernie is mum's cousin. Their mother's were Sisters and very close. Bernie fell in Love with Neil Wilson and they moved to Burnley, near Machester. They have 4 children, Natalie the eldest, Garath the only Male, Siobhan and Frankie the youngest.
We are quite close, though we don't see eachother much.



Anyway, the reason why they were down was the Wonderbra advertising. Anyone Could go and they got a free makeover and a chance to to be th
e face of Wonderbra. How exciting! Hmm, I guess you guys would have to hold back your disappointment when I tell you it was not something I did Or will do. Sorry.
Cousin looks better then me in a bra anyway!

Hmm, anyway, Saw one of the funniest comedians..Inky Jones..It was a fun eveing..Except when he picked on me.

Inky: What do you do..? Me: I am a student Adult Nurse Inky: So..you look after these two Adults then (pointing to mum and Bernie) Me: ... Mum: But, but.. I am mental Bernie: Harharhar *Snort*







Random Photos of the day..With my mum, Bernie and Frankie at the top!
My gosh. It was cringeworthy..And painful!

La Rebla Fam fun in Metro.






So my favourite band were playing in my favourite club which set the mood to fun tonight.
Oh yes, I was seeing La Rebla Fam again in the Metro club. And to make it more exciting for me, Claude was coming to.

Hmm, It was a fun evening, even though I arrived to late to hear the others bands play. It was a pity as they seemed Smexy in their own way.
La Rebla Fam had a strong opening, and cheers of "Viva, Viva" flooded out the last song. I thought there was to be a mini riot when the Orgainisers refused to listen to the croud for one more song. Ekk! Not finished with the night, when the band left, me and Claude danced the night away in Metro. We did move to Pepe though, and then back to metro. The point is, is that we had fun. Girlie fun. Innocent fun. Who would have thought..?...

Scoop for me

It is not often I find myself in the East of London. Being in Cheslea has it's joys, although for me, it makes me lazy. Heck, rolling out of bed for anything is a nightmare, and faced with the choice of sleep and armpits in the underground, it is an easy answer to what I will pick.
Still, when John told me to come down to the Scoop for an evening of musical delight, I didn't have it in me to say no..

Turns out the "Musical delight" was watching Chicargo on the big screen at More London.



I was surprised. For a musical I hated it.
Actually to be fair to the show, I hated the main woman Roxy. She was a manipative bitch who used everyone around her including her dear husband Amos!
It was a clever story line that had a good cast including Catherine Zeta Jones and Lucy Lui.
Well done John for picking this date..
Hmm, The view from the other side of London was good too..Made a change from seeing the other side of my room, or the west end :P







Favourite Song Lyric..

A little bit of Sunshine..

When I was a tiny tot
Of maybe two or three
I can still remember what
My mother said to me...

Place rose colored glasses on your nose
And you will see the robins
Not the crows

for in this tense and tangled web
Our weary lives may weave
you're so much better off
if you believe...

That there's a little bit of good
In everyone
In everyone you'll ever know

Yes, there's a little bit of good
In everyone
Though many times, it doesn't show

It only takes the taking time
With one another
For under every mean veneer
Is someone warm and dear
Keep looking...

for that bit of good in everyone
The ones we call bad
Are never all bad
So try to find that little bit of good!

Just a little, little bit of good

Is someone warm and dear
Keep looking...

For that little good in everyone
Although you meet rats
They're not complete rats
So try to find that little bit of good!

A slap in the face..for the french pair






As I was feeling in a loving mood, I decided to spend my Saturday helping Claude pack up to move into her new place in Walthamstow.
At least that was the plan..
Still half drunk from Tom's I got up there about 2pm to pack. Claude and Guillance had already left to get the keys, so I was home alone with only the builders who were making an extention to the kitchen for company.
I had just finished when I rang Cluade to see what she wanted me to do next (i.e Order a van) when she said that the rom had been over booked..There was a girl that was there for a week in the flat that they were supposed to move into today. Strong words were passed between the landlord and them, before they got there money back (A month in advance and a months money for safekeeping) and stormed back to Turnpike lane.
I bet you can only imagine the angry faces!
We did try to make the best of a bad situation. Wine was opened. There was a lot of catching up done, and stories of a weird nature were shared.
Oh my, well..Watch this space..Next month I hope the moving out is real!

Ohh, and Claude has the cutest Black cat. I am jealous. Truly I am!

Oh and as for the top pix..it is related to the fact we were curious if you could change the way you aste. Apperantly you can. Go figure!
