28 May - Rain & Dance

Another less than shiny post as am still trying to fathom something interesting to pass on given that the long w/end contained as highlights:
a 70th birthday lunch and subsequent afternoon spent indoors with a family, an evening watching a dvd of a movie I'd already seen (Casino Royale),
a day indoors reading /tidying up and an evening watching the Julian Temple film on Joe Strummer, unexpectedly better than er... expected, given that I dislike JT immensely for reasons I cannot explain (we've never met, nor have friends in common),
another birthday dim sum lunch and an afternoon getting reasonably soaked in Trafalgar Sq waiting for Miriam Makeba to perform (hats off to the mc's who tried so hard to keep us there and to the south african guy in a stupid hat who started a move and pretty soon had half the audience doing formation dancing to some hit that I am at a loss to name) an evening under a duvet reading a good hundred pages for a change and having dinner cooked and served by beloved. Uh, there was some pretty hot sex on the friday night, but not for remaining 76 hours which is kinda strange and perhaps that's why I can't summon the energy to extrapolate some worthy comments from such mundane happenings. I should have gone to see G. performing a top comedy set at Turnmills but at 8pm on the bank holiday monday it suddenly seemed a bridge too far and I used the phone to catch up with the other friends who should have come with. I could have also made more of an effort to go to a recording of Jools Holland's show as had two friend there but again... Sunday slow motion took over.
So, food eaten, good. Company, ok. Weather, cold and generally shite. Next!
