Leaving do was fun. Mini me was down one end of the table entertaining the troops with full scale inter-planetary war complete with horrific bloodshed, staggering casualties and personal tragedies enacted with only his hands and an impressive repetoire of sound effects.
One place round was my best friend (ex colleague) doing her best to encourage him in aforementioned military endeavour whilst getting him to try anchovies and bruschetta.
Three of us are leaving within a month of each other so we had a joint knees up eating far too much, drinking far too much and attempting to scale trees on the way home. Two of our number ended up in the gutter, one had to leave early they were so hammered and for once neither of them were in my immediate family!!
It was great. I should leave work more often.

Hi Kumquat. This is not a reply to any of your blogs - but this is the only way I know how to contact you!

I'm not sure how effective the bush telegraph is so you may not know this: moleskine has broken his arm.

Which takes me neatly to you may not know this 2: you and J are invited to my birthday party on Saturday. Moleskine was charged with inviting you but may have failed as he is currently fuelled by morphine and in a weird world of his own!

Appreciate that this is rather short notice (it shouldn't have been!) and that you may have other lamp-posts in mind to climb that weekend, but if you are able to come it would be good to see you both.

How could I forget! Mr K is going to Cardiff on Saturday to see Wednesday get promoted!
Very sorry we can't make your knees up. From experience they are not to be missed events.
HUMPH.

he fell off his bike on the way to the train station! nothing at all exciting or glamourous: he didn't even have a hang-over; hit a pot-hole; avoid an oncoming juggernaught, nothing!

egypt was lovely and awe-inspiring and full of thick british tourists, which was a bit difficult. it all seems a long time ago, now.

can you see wednesday on a saturday? i have trouble seeing yesterday, let alone days in the future...

moleskine's b/day is 20th june and he usually has a sunday afternoon bash around then, so ear-hole him and get it in your diary!

see you soon
