December 2003 - Leaving London Party Week Invite:

Dear folks,

Boo hoo, sob sob, I am scooting. It's time for me to learn to spell slightly differently and to snowboard. I'm off to Canada til April, then Hawaii, Fiji, Australia, Chile, Argentina, Brasil before landing back skint in London in August 2003.

Anyhoo, this is how my last week of adventures has panned out:

Mon 1st Dec: all free, bar packing and cleaning...a venture to Waggas would be nice if anyone wants to join me. Gotta have my last Yaki Udon...mmmmm...takers?

Tue 2nd Dec: night time booked out (Chris, seeing Snuff, i have the tix, pls call to organise!)

Wed 3rd Dec: possible secret adventure in the evening. but day time is free! hint hint..

Thur 4th Dec: evening - girls xmas do (work thing, ex work i should say, in my 'proud to be unemployed' voice)

Fri 5th Dec: early eve off to see the Strokes. YAY! Clubbing as yet to be decided, let me know if your keen to come out...

Sat 6th Dec: day time no doubt will be a quiet period of reflection. Also known in some circles as a hangover.

EVERYONE IS INVITED TO THIS ONE!!!

After said reflective time, it is a Hackney evening farewell. I'm thinking dinner at the local Anglo Thai on Mare Street (formerly Cafe Alba), 2 courses for £5.50. Then it will be time for Pub on the Park, and I truly hope the Hackney dwellers of you will be able to join me for a quick late night bevvy at the Lord Cecil. Please? It's been like forever since I went there. Probably with good reason, but I feel this a necessary journey. There is usually a spare bed in our flat for out of borough sorts to crash upon...


Then people disperse to various backpacker establishments to continue. Or you go home to watch crappy Sunday night tv, have your hangover before bedtime and then get up and go to work the next day all refreshed, like no day time drink binge ever occurred....(Certain young ladies from Essex promised me an appearance and so did a mad Irishman I know....I doubt those from Croydon, Lewisham & Balham would be game...but I dare you to come along, you know who you are....)

Mon 8th Dec: I go to the airport, i think my flight is @ 16:35 from Heathrow, so if anyone doesn't fancy going to work, i'd really like some company out to the airport. (I will be sad, and my bags will be very heavy, 60kg allowance when flying to the Americas...I'm not that strong.)

And then it will be scarycanarynewcountryohmygawdineedmoneyworkfriends aghgahgahghag!

Day times this week are so far free, I gotta pack. But should schedules clash, I may be able to swing by various central London locations for lunches, shopping excursions etc.

Let me know your thoughts kiddies.....and more specifically, which events you can & will attend!!!! My digits: Mob 07786016363 (mob number good to Dec 9th, so please call me esp about 2pm-3:30pm on Dec 8th...). As always, forward this email to friends whom may be interested/I've forgotten. Same Same. But different.

Ciao,
