Winter kills.

WE HAVE HEAT. AND WATER. OH MY GOD. I think I lost two kilos just in grease when I had a shower last night. Workmen came and fitted a new flue and replastered.

Friday: date with eyeliner297. I desperately needed to go out and party with the g*ths, so told Abi to come out with me. I'd forgotten what fun it is taking a young girlie out and showing her a gentlemanly good time. We went to the Dev, then to Bar Monsta for Devilish Presley, then back to the Dev until chucking-out. Devilish Presley were fantastic and Bar Monsta is so hot, sweaty and smoky it makes the Dev seem cool, clean and lovely. I took lots of photos on the Ixus i, which was a mervellous device except when it completely failed to get focus. Apparently I have to take Abi out regularly.

Saturday: date with redcountess, seeing Motorhead again at Brixton Academy. They didn't have the Bomber rig or the ex-members guesting. First band was a German Swedish all-female band called Crucified Barbarella, who played twiddly muso shite. Second was Clutch, a somewhat bluesy-hardcore band from the US, who were actually really good. And had a good old hardcore punk fat guitarist. Motorhead were pretty damn fine as well. Liz thinks she saw Brian May sitting two rows ahead of us.

Sunday: date with gothgeekgirl, visiting from the US again, to go shopping in Camden. She is on medication that upsets her stomach, which hampered our day a bit, but the catchup was marvellous.

Monday: date with arkady. We haven't gone out to dinner in ages, so we went to Chez Gérard in Covent Garden. She had veal (the only meat she's been able to keep down in the evenings for a while) and I had beef bourgignon. The waitress giggled when she saw my name on my card. Came home to gothgeekgirl visiting Liz. HAD A SHOWER. Here's to plumbing.

Tonight: date with Ikea. I start on clearing space for the stuff Liz, Arkady and secretlondon bought two weeks ago.

So how was your weekend?

I had a four-day weekend. Yay!

Thursday was taken up with Thanksgiving stuff. Had pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread, pumpkin cheesecake, and pumpkin soup. Family was well-behaved, and my sister Debbie actually did not drink too much.

On Friday I got out in the unseasonably warm weather and prepared the veggie garden for winter (pulling up dead tomato plants and the like).

On Saturday we gave a man $200 to come out and fix the broken iron railing on the back steps. Which had been broken since July... we would make awful landlords, I'm afraid.

And on Sunday we had a visit from friends Ash and Menzy with their baby Rosemary. Rosemary dustmopped the floor with the front of her romper while we ate up the leftover pumpkin pie.

And speaking of babies, my daughter called me with exciting news which I'm NOT ALLOWED to tell anyone for two months yet but I'm bouncing up and down about anyway!
