tinkerbell1980's birthday party.
I really love the fact that Tink lives about 2 miles from the highest concentration of Korean immigrants in Europe. I'm addicted to Ginger Honey Tea, you see, and there's nowhere else to buy it. Except Korea - obviously.
Anyway - there were 4 of us - Tink,medium_jock and their sporty friend. We went swimming. Great fun. I love being in the water. Don't go swimming nearly enough. Although lane swimming is a bit dull and messing about isn't really possible without friends. We were going to go bowling but there was way too long a wait, so we raided a sushi bar (well, Tink and I did anyway. The others aren't so fond of sushi), had some of that lovely iced plum wine they do, and randomly chose things that looked unfamiliar.
Played with a candy floss vending machine. It played sugar sugar while making the candyfloss.
Then we went shopping.
Then we went to eat. I was a bit overfed on sushi at that stage, so I only had my own meal... Beef and Lamb skewers with chips and a rather drab Caesar salad. It was a ribs, steak and seafood place. They really didn't do salads very well.
And finally we returned to Tink's place for some chilling out, and a cup of tea, and some flirting with sporty-girl (only minor flirting though - she's seeing someone and really far too young for me).
It was fun!
And now I have a day off from my busy social calendar which involves cleaning the house from bottom to top. This will be easy just as soon as I get some inertia going. Then I just need more storage space. Where do people keep all their little things like blank DVDs, juggling clubs, Lego, and old 3D graphics cards? Maybe I should go on a trip to Ikea sometime next week, and buy some storage.
