bday potjie (21.10.06)

it was my 28th birthday last thursday. being 10 years since i turned 18, i decided to give it a good go to see whether i still had it in me. so ended up going out on wednesday (some turkish jol with a sheesha), thursday (restaurant in farringdon - thanks wiggy), friday (the grand - why???), and then had a potjie on sat at home.

the sat potjie was the main event. it's an understatement to say that i don't usually attract the crowds (i think my most successful ever house party back home had 7 guests)... so it was quite a surprise that over 30 people rocked up. kirk was in charge of the potjie... and although it was a little late... it came out great!!! not much else happened except the gift giving ceremony (thanks guys for all the super presants) and getting kinda wasted - you know things are getting pear-shaped when fleetwood mac comes out. most of the people left between about 12pm and 1am... except for two dodgy stragglers who lasted until 4.45am (when his wife phoned) and 10am the next morning - no names mentioned.

thanks to all you guys for the bday wishes - you guys sure are special.
