My lack of personal updates on here shows what a crazy weekender it's been but I've finally got around to chronicling the randomness that was Easter weekend 2007!
Thursday
Thursday night kicked things off with another night out at Lennons, where we came across some very peculiar dance moves and a group of girls dressed as pandas (aparantly one of them was called Pandora). Chicken Land, of course, followed and our good friend Fernando was at hand to perform his usual entertainment while serving chicken. The long walk home was accompanied by the usual songs and sillyness.
Friday
We decided that Friday would be the "chill out" day and so I met Jamie in the park and we searched for new flats, did some script work and I ate a Calippo and a tub of Tic Tacs. It was all very nice. I then met Ti for Pizza at Dave and Marti's house. They weren't actually in but had left us the keys in order to check on their hamsters, one of which proceeded to poo on me when I picked him up. That wasn't so nice. Chill out day was complete with more drinks, this time at the Hobbit where I experienced the fantasticly cool garden for the first time!
Saturday
Saturday was Orient v the Cobblers and a huge 2-0 win for the Town. For full match report see below!
In the evening we went to AnnaMaria's party to raise money for an orphanage in Hungry. Anna sang very well and also prepared a buffet equally as well to round the day off.
Sunday
Road trip time! This time we were heading to Marti's home in Upper Bucklebury where we were invited to join her lovely family for a roast dinner. Marti's parents, Eddie and Elizabeth were very welcoming to us all and the dinner was followed by a few games of Tennis where Marti beat us all in singles competition and also threw a ball "accidently" into my face. A quick drink in the local pub was joined by humerous observations about silent but violent style farts and then we were on our jolly way back to Southampton, tired and weary...but there was still one day of the weekend left!
Monday
A long lie in on Monday was much needed and after lunch we all met up to sample the Bank Holiday funfair on Southampton Common and a picnic before hand. When it came to choosing someone to drink the fishy substance that came with the Sushi, everyone turned directly to me. With three camera pointing my way there was no real choice but to "chug" and so I did. It wasn't too nice. Proceeding to the fair itself, we caused mayhem on the dodgems and in the fun house.
The best way to end the weekend would have been with a No Saints victory in the 5-a-side league but unfortunately the Gods weren't smiling on us once again. With only 5 players to start with, there was no room for injuries so it was with great dismay that Sean went down with the opening 10 minutes. So with 4 against 5 we battle gallantly and even scored twice but eventually we lost 8-2 and remain bottom of the table. Although we lost it was a terrifc team effort to fight back with just 4 men and the team spirit shone through right to the end and we can all be proud of the efforts we gave.
And so the weekend comes to an end and it's been action packed and full of crazyness, probably the busiest bank holiday weekend I've had and I'm still in recovery right now!
Every weekend should have four days!
