So, the bi-curious gathering happened and was a top giggle. Unfortunately, the rain meant that half the people didn't show - not cos they're scared of rain but because London Underground are incapable of running a decent tube service when the weather is less than perfect. It started to tip it down. Within an hour, at least four stations were flooded and huge chunks of the lines were closed down.
Arrived at gathering early because the meeting I had beforehand finished earlier than expected. Rather than wait in the pub (given that I was trying to be good and avoid smoking) I decided to wander around the shops. Checked out Claire's Accessories for the first time. Made me pine to be a kid again. Everthing that didn't glitter was either made of fake fur or covered in maribou. And then there were the sachets of stuff; pheremone wipes, natural collagen for lip-plumping, face masks. Wish I still got pocket money and could justify spending it on 100 per cent silver coloured jewellery. Then again...
So, after getting all nostalgic for the days of blue eyeliner and orange concealer, I went to the pub for the bi-curious gathering. Everyone sat round, got drunk and got indiscrete (myself included).
Managed to hold out on smoking until my very first drink.
Must try harder.
