Two great Dinner Parties.(thanks Guys)

As I am poor, I have been skipping on the restaurants and going for Dinner parties instead. Then again, I have got more friends opening their homes for the idea. Honestly, who really wants to go out when it is cold just for food in an over priced building like Gorden Ramsey anyway..?

The first one was Cookie's on Sunday. She has moved to a new flat for just her and Ryan. I am jealous. Really cheap, all inclusive and only her and her Lover. -Sigh-. The only bad thing it is in Leytonstone..but even that is no bad thing!
There was already guests when I arrived at half one. It was nice chatting to Cookie's other circle.
Eventually others arrived to fill the silences that occur among strangers.
It was a good mix..Brenda, Anna, a guy called Andrew I met before as he works in St Georges and was at a few "gatherings" and 4 others.


We gathered and laughed and socialised as you do...


Cookie turned out to be an amazing cook. There was starter of soup, Dumplings (chicken and vegetables) then rice with various meat to put on it. Brenda and Anna provided dessert and someone brought the alcohol. Fun times.

Did find out some things though..

-Cookie is a great Painter..Was lucky to see her old work.
-Brenda laugh is getting weirder and even tops me.
-Wearing a summer dress is not a good idea when London is still gripped in cold and Ice. Brr.


If you were wondering where Ryan the lover was while we were munching away, he went to Yorkshire to see family. Did see him as Anna, Brenda, Andrew and I braced ourselves against the cold to get to the Station.(He was fine, thanks for asking..)

Monday night was Anna's turn to play host. As I decided to crash at Anna's for a while I was there, as well as Garry and Iwona.
IT WAS MEXICAN THEMED.Kinda.
We had chicken fajitas. Awesome.

Again with the Catch up. It is amazing how much one can talk about once a topic is reached they like.
For Anna it was about the music and the new DJ she is into. He can mix anyone and Anything. Pure talent man. Look him up..YOUR NIECE!

Awesome stuff!

The Kindness offensive Strikes!

As you may know, I love free stuff. I f it is food , I love it even more.
I was very lucky then to get free Pancakes with my Mama at Ed's Diner. It was really random as it was to draw attention to Bullying and the anti bullying campaign via the NSPCC. I
shamefully did not know this when I went there. My mind went "free pancakes? FREEEEE..??! I am in".




It was good though. Found out about Leap... An orgainsation that helps makes good deeds fun and easy. CHECK IT OUT: Type Leapanywhere in google. NOW!

Happy new year (Again)

Anna is a social Animal. I am Anna's friend. Therefore I occasionally decide to enter Anna's world of parties, DJ sets and EastLondoness
Tonight it was a houseparty in Dalston. The theme was Chinese new year. It had food, warmth and a good crowd (Brenda and Cookie were also there!).
Met Anna at her's before running down to the station to pick up Cookie. We were late because we kept forgetting things..First we forgot the champagne, then I forgot Cookie's present (late I know, as I kept forgetting to give it to her!).

Eventually piled on the bus before indulging in Doughnut. Mm, Sugar rush never was so good!

Got into a weird conversation on the bus.
One guy asked out loud how to spell Jewel. Anna spelt it. A drunk guy in the corner then shouted out "How do you Spell "condom"..I always need one during the weekend. Will someone help me out..?!". Some bright spark spelt out "Good luck" before the drunk guy shouted.." Noooo...That is not right..isn't it C-O-N-D-O-M..?".

Bad timing for Brenda who decided to phone at that moment to find out where we were.

Brenda was not the only one waiting. Steve, (Jamie's friend who is Leo and Anna's mate) and some Swede people were coming to. I was a bit intimidated with all the crowd. One to speak I know, as I had a whip in my hands!

Took a while to find out where the house was, but when we got there we were delighted..There was posters to advertise it on the wall (inside as a mickey take), the stair case was transformed into a tunnel so people had to curl up and down it (had cardboard taped to the walls forcing people to go on their knees.) and food. I was happy with the food.
It even had a real fireplace, so I was able to roast and burn various food from marshmallows to chips.
I also was told there is a sweet one is supposed to chuck at people for good luck..Bad times for the other guests.
I did not just misbehave. I was floating around talking to people to. There were 2 people that I really like..Marina who was a bubbly woman living in Hammersmith, and a guy called Paul who talked about everything from bikes to Identity. He had a big discussion with Bee too, which I sat down to listen to.

We did not stay there for long though..The others had tickets to a club and I was tired. At the bus stop it was fun as I encouraged others to whip stuff. Had a mini competition to see who could whip a beer can off the bus stop bench. No one it seemed!

Got home about 2, while the others got home much, much later. Aw well. Start as you mean to go on!
