The pressure is still apparent to feed the Blog beast daily, and so I continue to post. Friday was spent relaxing by the pool and finishing with the Christmas shopping.
Juzz and Josh had a gig in Mascot (read: sticks), playing requests from friends and family. This had obviously prompted everyone to come up with the most challenging songs that two guitars could possibly attempt. Highlight of the night was unequivocally Kanye’s ‘Gold Digger’, though I have to say that Broken Wings holds a place very close to my heart.
After the gig, a quick trip with JD and Puck to the Loft for a quiet ale, which moved downstairs to Bungalow to meet Jess, Geeth, Tara, Sap etc. The itinerary seemed to be following a Particular Person (curious, the same initials as Pablo Picasso, hint hint) throughout the city, though contact was never made (on an aside, Puck is soft, haha).
From Bunglow 8 to Dragonfly for more drinks with Adrian and Oli to Westfield for some 2am shopping. Surprising how many people are there, and worse how many people we knew! David D and Paulo, Scotty Dogg and his mate and even bumping into Alec and Katie with the novel idea of Shopping and Shotting – 20mins shopping, followed by 2 shots of tequila. Repeat. Not surprisingly, by 2am they were looking slightly worse for wear!
Having been promised that we’d be gone by 2, by 2:30 we were still waiting and the idea of crashing some random’s house party (who none of us knew) at 3 no longer appealed (funny that). Still waiting to hear how it went, but am sure that considering the competition that Picasso was facing, someone must have come out on top. This will be confirmed after the holiday season.
Christmas lunch tomorrow with 27 people (!) and then only two days until Japan. Am pumped up for no sleep in Tokyo and great snow. Again, more information to come shortly.
Alas, ‘Rome’ and bed call…
