I had an absolutely fab weekend! My weekends are usually so crammed, I don't have time to sit down for five minutes but this weekend I took Friday off work to spend with Dan, the birthday boy! Turning 23 for him wasn't something to celebrate but we had a good day nonetheless with a family dinner and a three and a half hour sit- in in a dingy tattoo parlour!
Dan had his tattoo done back in Australia exactly 2 years ago and they completely rushed it so obviously it ended up a bit wibbly and wonky. The three and a half hours was to straighten it up and put in some shading. Some blood, sweat and no tears later it was done but it was a bit of an ordeal for him. I have to say I was fascinated though, I ended up asking the tattoist a million questions which probably annoyed him, but it's the journalist inside me wanting to know every detail! I will be posting a more detailed blog about tattoing next Sunday as I am making a trip back on my own on Saturday for reasons that I don't quite want to divulge yet!
So Friday night for Dan's birthday we ended up at a local pub with a few of his friends, which then turned to a lock in which included some absolutely vile shots with baileys in it. Anyone who drinks shots knows that baileys curdles in alcohol and ends up chewy when you try and swallow it in one. I ended up nearly spitting it down dan's back! But the night was good and we didn't end up too hungover.
Saturday night was the turn of my very good friend, Sarah Hallas' birthday, another traveller who accompanied me to Australia. To sum it up in a few words- lots of wine, lots of vodka, lots of dancing and I did end up with a very small shard of glass in my foot. In my drunken haze I did manage to remove after some hopping on my other foot for balance.
The night ended around 2.30am where Dan came to meet us and the two of us decided to carry on drinking in my flat. A good idea at the time but this morning? Not so good. We generally spent the night drinking (or eating) vodka jelly's and listing to club tropicana on you tube. I think I recall some singing and dancing aswell. Bedtime finally rolled around at 5am!! Needless to say we weren't up until 2pm this afternoon!
A fab weekend but I'm shattered! Was lovely to spend time with the croc and the girls. Happy Birthday!! xxx

Thirdly as if you got glass in your foot after me shouting at the bouncer that i was old enough to make my own decision and if i wanted glass in my foot it was my right to chose!
