Couple of days out

Friday was lovely, so armed with my paper, I wandered East from Greenwich to the Cutty Sark Hotel on the promenade. There I sat in the sun with a pint, had a feed and did the crosswords looking at the river.

Great little pub and really enjoyed.

That evening Nick arrived home with the girls so we met up at Daveys for dinner and a get together before the girls called time on a busy work week.
 
Next day was their work shareholders meeting so the 3 of them headed off in morning whilst I relaxed until I headed in to meet the crew afterwards for a dinner and farewell for one of the guys in Wimbledon.
 
The crew converged on the Dog and Fox in Wimbledon Village where we waited until the entourage of friends and wives arrived.

Great food and we had our own room where speeches and general hoopla occurred before last drinks was called at 11.00.
 
Could not let that stop us so most of the crew went down road to Hemingway's club where after a few quid was offered to doorman he let us in en masse.. there was 20 of us so in a small bar got very crowded.


It did not take long with bottles of champers flowing freely, and Espresso Martinis we carved out a space and dancing commenced. Fit girls started doing one up push ups, which well impressed me at that time of night.

Fi was her indomitable self and attempted to form her own boy band in the street at one point!

Well everybody was having a ball, but sadly at 2.00 they threw us out and was great to have seen these people again, especially Kylie who last year was heavily pregnant with twins. Her husband had gone home early and she was enjoying the time to herself with friends.

So the 4 of us jumped a black cab , and got home from the other side of London, where it was nearly 3.00 am and was time to call a night.
 
 
Concert at Blackheath today and Nick leaves. Jillian arrives tonight so there will be little rest.
