Once Em and I awoke from our nap, following the longest return from the airport ever, we got ready to go and watch Chris' band play. Robyn (who works with Chris) picked us up and we drove to Wycombe, to a pub that looked like a house and had bright pink walls inside.
Chris' band were playing later in the evening so we went to forage for some food, and found a Pizza Express. Yummmm!!!! After, we browsed M&S (huge supermarket-come-department store) and I bought some Jaffa Cakes. They may not survive the flight home, but I'll do my best...
Back at the pub, Budweiser in hand, we watched Keiland Ridge rock out. Chris plays the bass, and they have a chick drummer, who has a super intense face and did this awesome trick at the end of the set - she flicked the drumstick up and it spun around, then hit the cymbal, perfectly timed! After the show, I said my goodbyes to Chris, Corinne and James, as I wasn't going to see them again (this trip!) Robyn dropped us home and we spoke about her moving to Melbourne. In excited, am totally going to go visit her!! We crashed out pretty quickly free we got in bed...
Saturday day was a bit of a dud; it took me a good two hours to pack all my stuff into my new pairs of boots. Amaaaazing how much space I managed to save though! (considering I was packing clothes on top of these while in Greece and Austria...) My suitcase is shutting without any strenuous pushing or grunting!! Success :D
We went for one last trip to Reading in the afternoon, had a wrap from Pret, it was oh so good, and a browse through Zara - oh so tempting!!!
Once home, we had a quick turn around and toddled off into London for one last night on the town! We were going to attempt the infamous all-nighter...
We went to visit Nick, a friend of mine from Uni, who lives in Putney. His flat is literally under the rail bridge, and six people live in there (or was it seven?) Em and I had bought tickets earlier to Ministry of Sound, as Basement Jaxx were playing a set... However that was about an hour away from Nick, so we were going to play the night by ear...
So glad we did, because we had a really fun night with Nick and his flat mates! There were two Aussies - Lobo and Emma aka Milky - who were hilarious, and a few kiwi guys from west Auckland - Nico and Tom. We played a drinking game based on a game show on TV, which is basically one guy and a whole bunch of girls who have a light, and if they're not interested in the guy based on info given, they turn the light off! It's totally harsh and trashy, but very funny.
At 'some stage of the evening' we ventured into Putney to go to a bar. This was really fun, good music and nice crowd... Until Em's iPhone and camera got stolen :( that was pretty shit, so we ended up leaving, grabbing some k-fry and walking back to the flat. We crashed out until about 9am when the trains were going past the flat, so Em and I made our long and hungover journey back to Maidenhead (three tubes, the overground, a taxi halfway to Em's house then walked the rest cos the taxi driver was an arse!) we were home at 12pm, and blobbed the rest of the day...
All in all, it was a pretty funny night out, drama and all. As we dawdled our way down to River Road in last nights clothes and make up, me busting to go to the loo and laughing to ourselves, Em made the point - 'I would love to just watch us right now'
Oh, what a night!!
