The First Big Weekend

So that was the first big weekend of the summer...

Starts Thursday as usual with the canteen quiz and again no-one wins the big cash prize.

Later I do my sound

Bloke routine by approaching

Gina's new boyfriend to say that he shouldn't feel that there's any animosity between us and then

I even go and make peace with her

Shouldn't have bothered.

Then on Friday night we went through to the

Arches...

There was only one car going so some of us had to get the train.

We got through quite late.

Then we went to a pub to take the gear.

There was no problems getting in - we saw some others waiting down the front of the queue so we skipped in.

It was a good night - everyone was nutted and

I ended up dancing with some blonde girl.

I thought she had been quite pretty until last night when

Matthew informed me that she had, in fact, been a pig.

When the club finished we wandered the streets for a while until we got to this 24-hour cafe.

I didn't like the look of it so we left and got a taxi back to

Morag's flat.

I couldn't sleep so

I sat about drinking someone else's strawberry tonic wine and tried to keep everyone else up.

Then at ten o'clock in the morning we went downstairs to buy some drink.

We had intended to watch the football in the afternoon but we'd passed out by then and slept right through it, awaking to find that

England had won two-nil.

Then we went to get the train home and had a few in the

Station bar.

We had some stuff left from the previous night's supplies so when we got home we decided to go down to

John's indie disco.

Same story as

Friday - lots of hugging, lots of dancing etc. etc.

I couldn't sleep again so went to the park to look at the toon, taking a detour through the playpark.

To get in we had to climb over a ten foot steel fence, which resulted in severe bruising of our hands, legs and groins, but we had a good laugh on the stuff, especially the tube-slide, which probably doubles up as a urinal for drunk teens.

Then we walked through the woods to have a look at the toon.

Big disappointment, but the mist on the lake was cool.

Sunday afternoon we go up to

John's with a lot of beer in time to watch the

Simpsons - it was a really good episode about love always ending in tragedy except, of course, for

Marge and

Homer. It was quite moving at the end and to tell you the truth my eyes were a bit damp.

Then we watched these young girls in swimsuits have a water fight in the street.

We went up to the pub about ten.

It was busy for a

Sunday night, lots of people we know, including my first ever girlfriend who

I still find very attractive, quite frankly, but

I didn't really speak to her

She's probably still a *****, anyway.

Her friend

Gillian was there,

I had a chat with her, she was still quite pleasant.

At the same time

I watched

Malcolm make some terrible attempt to try and chat up a girl we know called

Jo. He made some remark about her skirt that was barely there the previous night or something.

I couldn't sleep again that night, thanks to some seriously disturbing nightmares...

Matthew says

I should cut down on the cheese. "Went out for the weekend, it lasted for ever, high with our friends it's officially summer."

I got some sleep eventually on

Monday afternoon.

It was a beautiful day, and later that evening

Malcolm introduced me to the power of

Judith and

Laura came round later and we sat in my back garden and drank.

Then Matthew came round and we went up the town.

It's officially summer.
