Weekend Madness

When I got home on Friday, my two female flatmates invited me to a barbecue on the beach. It sounded like a good idea, and I had nowhere else to be, so I went along and took some real ales with me. When I got there it turned out I was the only male there. Me and 8 females. Real Ale was possibly not the best choice. However one of them was happy to drink one of the bottles I had taken. They kept offering me burgers, sausages and kebabs and I kept reminding them I was vegetarian. They would then be very apologetic and everything would carry on. Heheh. At one point Linz (one of my flatmates) suddenly started apologising for eating meat in front of me. Heheheheh. I simply pointed out that I had chosen to attend of my own free will and that it really wasn't a problem.

After a while the beer took effect and I had to nip up to the castle to use the facilities there. On the way back a kitten started following me around. I had my camera with me and so took some pictures. It seemed to lose interest in me after a while, so I carried on back toward the beach. Suddenly I could hear it running across the castle grounds, and it followed me around a bit more. I got what I hope was a really nice picture of it jumping up onto a fence with the angel in the background. Again it lost interest so I walked down onto the beach. Next thing I knew it was following me around on the beach.

After we'd drank everything we had with us we nipped back home to get changed and then headed to Rummers to finish the evening. There a random girl joined our party. While talking to her she nearly fell over backwards and I jokingly asked what she was "on". She said "look at my eyes", which I did. "You can't see much colour, can you?" She had a point. Her pupils were so dilated that there was only a tiny slither of colour. I thought she'd had too much cough medicine or something and so jokingly said

"Ah, what're you whacked out on then?" And then she said something that really shocked me. In the same way that you might tell someone that you just ate a packet of ready-salted crisps she said:

"E". Ah. That would explain it. Later on in the conversation she announced that she was only 16. Fucking hell. Not only was she underage to be in a pub, but she was also on E too. Madness!

Saturday was uneventful. I had a slight hangover so didn't do much.

Sunday, however, was spent in Chester watching the model-airplanes show. It was good fun, and I have very much decided that I want one. :D That, however, won't be happening for a while. Generally speaking you should expect to pay about £200 total for a basic plane.

Right. Now back to work.
