Celebrating Simon's Birthday and a VERY late night

 Had a decent day at work and in the evening we went down to Summertown to meet with Simon Shepherd for this birthday meal - we were planning to walk so as to get the steps up but was such miserable weather and raining we gave up ourside the Village Hall and caught the bus instead.

It was the same crowd as last year - Tash and I, Simon of course, his housemate Jeff, and Stuart and Charlie - who were in good spirits as usual.

Drank and ordered food and had a good catch up, really enjoyable evening and the food was stunning - it really was excellent. It's interesting being around such overtly gay men, their mannerisms, stories and attitude are all good fun - lots of energy, its always a good laugh in their company and this evening was no different.

Simon once again beat us to the till to pay, so we insisted that we organise a summer catch up in which we pay and he doesn't!

It wasn't a late evening and about 10.00pm taxis arrived and the guys all left but Tash and I then walked back home - the rain had stopped so it was fine.

When I got in I wasn't ready for bed, so I got my headphones on and sat on my phone - Tash went to bed!

I watched loads of videos and music - just on and on, had quite a dance in the library too! I also kept going outside and working my way through the few beers I had lef in the DSB - finishing the supply in the process.

I was perfectly happy in a world of my own and in no time at all it was 4.30am, I was quite drunk and obviously had things to do Saturday so thought I'd better go to bed for a few hours!

A nice evening and even better night...
