Jephson

Only picture I got today because I was Doing Stuff and always feel uncomfortable whipping it out in social situations (my camera, that is)!

We had a Knightcote reunion barbecue down south, which was nice - had a long shop for it in the biggest Morrisson's in the UK and then hung out in the garden for a few hours. Saw Orla, who was back from Paris for a bit, which was lovely!

Then back home and got a lift from the wonderful Sam to Amos' house for the last (unofficial) Jsoc Friday night dinner, cooked by him and Danny! Saw almost all the Jsoc crowd, some for the last time, and had an amazing meal. Sam had been in the Westwood piano room with Charlie so he came and picked me up, and we got back to ours and headed off to Andy's birthday party with Thom. Obviously Axel was already there and had managed a substantial number of drunk-ball and beer pong games by the time we arrived. I begged him to let me on his team for the next game, so after a bit of drinking and socialising, we set it up, and Axel and I played against... I can't even remember now. But the point is, as predicted, after a few obligatory drinks of beer, I was right on form, got something like 3 or 4 in in a row (as in, each go I had), and helped us win the game! *reminiscent high-five*

Had another game later after hogging Alex's camera for a while and taking a few shameful selfies of Sam and me, and chatting to some new friends, and lost with Gabriel (he gave me wine, which I thought would improve my game, but it turned out I'd peaked with Axel already). Started walking home with an impatient Sam and Thom, and after stopping for a much needed cheesy chips at Vialli's, managed to get pissed off and piss them both off, and started walking back to Andy's...

But halfway there I bumped into Axel, Anu and their mates, so ended up going home anyway - and slept on Axel's sofa because I didn't realise that Sam had left the downstairs door on the latch and he'd taken my keys... So Axel kindly put me up for the night. Thankfully hadn't messed up completely.
