brunch

well, these short bank holiday weeks are great - til you realise you have less days to do everything! i'm really really looking forward to this saturday...and having fun planning every detail - what to take with me, what to wear, and what to do on the day!

so what am i taking?
ima' gonna take lots of balls of colourful DK weight yarn and some 4mm crochet hooks and teach people to crochet, or lead beginners into the way of the granny square, or get experienced hookers making bunting for international yarn bomb day on june 11th.

i think i'm going to wear...
one of my big lacy petticoat skirts depending what still fits me as i have now managed to lose more than two whole stone in as many months!!! (thank little baby jesus for safety pins)

and what am i going to do on the day??
I AM GOING TO HAVE FUN. loads and loads and loads of it!

i'm looking forward to spending time with the amazing ms marmitelover - because last time i saw her i was hopped up on painkillers as i'd just broken my nose falling off a pair of stripper shoes...yes, i think i'll be wearing much less perilous footwear this saturday...and if the weather holds i can't think of anywhere better to spend a sunny june day than in the big beautiful marmitey back garden!

and if you want to book - because hey, why wouldn't you want to brunch with a hooker, and have a drinkie with an astrologer?

saturday nights alright for fightin'

so despite me being a confirmed hooker, i seem to be part of a lovely little gang o' ladies who have named themselves knit1 eat1. i think that they came to this decision while i was passed out cold at the dinner table of ms marmite lover's underground restaraunt, because i'd never have agreed to such a thing!

but as i learned the other week when i let my hairdresser cut my hair while i napped...if i'm going to siesta then i'm going to have to live with it. and gosh darn i really can't wait for my hair to grow - think i am needing a falso pony tail for belly dancing definitely.

anyway, let's recap why i was a asleep at the table and NOT crocheting at the underground restaraunt. for this we have to back track to thursday night where it all started... so here's a timeline:

thursday night

7:00 arrive for sushi and sake with thayer prime

9:30 go to she says women in digital birthday party which sucked so drank brambles

10:00 head over to the cellar door and consume dirty gin martinis and lots of free champagne as i am still celebrating my birthday as it is still april and i was born on the first.

friday day

lunch drinks with my accountant at the crown clerkenwell green

then beers in the studio at my desk

straight home because i'm dead tired

saturday day

11:00 training really darn hard with my trainer ivo

13:00 double vodka at the ship in soho

15:00 another at the intrepid fox

17:00 sundowner on my roof 'the bloomsbury skyline club'

saturday night

11:00 head to the cock tavern to watch my daughter ravenisis perform

midnight drinking 'dudes' at the el camino in soho with the swingin' film crowd

...this is where it ALL goes wrong!

01:oo am decide to head home as feeling tipsey, but unfortunately have to go passed the crobar to get home, where i firstly fall off my stripper heels straight on my ass then stand up and go straight over on my nose. go home to clean myself up and go to sleep.

which would have been okay but...

06:00 am my door buzzer is going and my daughter is locked out.

so i decide it's a good time for a disco nap.

then stay up the rest of the morning cuddling my blondeboy and drinking bloody mary's

sunday day proper

11:00am finally fall asleep

high noon wake up with an ice pick in my eye socket and take loads of painkillers and slather arnica on my face and then get stuck on the tube at baker street for ages.

14:15 finally make it to ms marmite lover's and have a glass of cava, then more bubbles, then a glass of the nicest red i have ever let between my lips.

went straight home

did not pass go

missed my daughter's sunday night show at the cellar door.

i am a bad mother

a horrid guest

and a pretty crap crocheter lately!

pain in the side (of the nose)

i am wacked out on painkillers again.

this time it's because it feels like an icepick is in my eye socket.

i broke my nose falling off my stripper heels!!!

so am all dosed up and just want to sleep...

doubt i'll be starting a new pair of socks tonight x

healing like a vampire mo-fo

i slept alot since that last post.

so much that i missed the blondeboy kissing me goodbye before he went off back to the wilds of wales for another week of work. at least he has his voodoo scarf i made him with my old dreadlocks to keep him warm.

i'm exhausted.

my body is healing like some psycho vampyre superhero.

really - the alien nostril hole on my ribcage is closing up so fast i'm sure i could watch it happen if i could hold my right tit up that long and not get bored. or even more tired. not drinking and trying to eat more protein mixed with painkillers seems to be working for me and my body.

but needless to say i have managed to accomplish nothing more as far as crafty bits except for a few rows on an aum square. i so need yarn scored to cover the red hot water bottle i've bought for annmarie seienstyle as she arrives next week. i am getting in training for her visit my going out and consuming as much vitlok as possible tonight with my lovely friend thayer prime, so i can get all the latest foo fighter boy gossip!

so priority one:

buy lovely red varigated yarn.

quickie

quick quick update while the pain meds are working!
and can i just say i never realised how good a HUGE ibuprofen is...

...i actually managed to quickly whip up some mismatched fingerless gloves for myself while the painkillers were kicking in last night, but haven't felt well enough to do the freeform embellishments on the righthand yet.

but at least next time i headout to the docs i'll be cozy.
