Well, it really was an amazing party last night. I wasn't keen on going but Greg kept nagging until I agreed. I'm glad
It was the coolest place ever! Looks like a normal house at the front (apart from a giant palm tree in the front garden) but in the back it's like walking into a tropical paradise! There was a hot tub, a barbeque/bonfire and a little beach hut/bar. Brilliant!
Everyone loved my pirate shoes. WHEE!
I guzzled down rather a lot of some strange punch which had rum in it and a load of things I couldn't idenify and then I moved onto the peach wine which I'd taken with me. I wasn't hugely drunk but drunk enough to be happy and giggly.
Dave showed up and we actually spoke to each other! Obviously I had to start things off *eyeroll* but soon we were chatting like he was just another person at the party. It was good. Don't get me wrong, I don't want to be all buddy buddy with him but it's good we can have civilised conversations when we're in groups of mutual friends now.
The party itself was very chilled out. Loads of people lounged in the hot tub for quite a while (I didn't know there was a hot tub so I didn't have anything to change into) and we just chatted, drank and smoked herbal cigarettes. When it started to cool down and get dark we had the barbeque and chatted, smoked and drank some more. We sang along to Nick Cave, Bjork and someone else. Can't remember
By midnight Greg was absolutely wasted so he and Amanda decided to leave. I went with them since I had no idea how to get home on my own. LOL.

It was certainly rather cosy

The barbeque/bonfire

The beach hut/bar. I love the pirate flag hanging at the back. It's just so damn cool!

The bonfire gets going

Greg enjoying a night time ciggy

We all decided that the blue light was clearly unhatched alien babies. Or possibly the thing from Cocoon

Everyone enjoying the barbeque
When I got home I managed to injure myself in possibly the most embarassing way. Whilst flushing the toilet! My toilet is built in such a way that the flusher is a button that is flat against the wall normally and goes into the wall when you press it. I pressed it a little too forcefully last night and caught my thumbnail on it, ripping a big chunk of it off. There was blood and swearing. It's not too bad now but still a bit sore. I've got it all plastered up
Honestly, what a way to hurt yourself
