Curveball
Mon went to the Fentiman Arms, Oval where we louched to the sounds of the Brand New Heavies. Then on to the Antelope which is open till midnight during the week.
Sun- Duxford bus show. There was a courtesy bus from Cambridge station; i was in nerd territory and lovin it. Kay met me in the visitor centre. Bus heaven..the old 251 to Arnos Grove, 22 to Dalston. The Bio bus uses 100% fuel renewable energy and has free wi-fi. There was an electric hybrid bus and a Routemaster N90. The Knight Bus could've added a fantastical touch. Through the rain we were hangar hopping.
Sat after a 12 hr catch up sleep went to the Hope; started the snowball that was me, Max, Dodge, his Mum Sue and Howie. As part of the Harvest LocAle fest i had Weltons Autumn Shades, Pilgrim's Vulcan Alia and Redemption's Urban Dusk. Hopefully Kay and John will come there for a talk by W.J King's new brewer Ian Burgess on Oct 13th and then the beer fest in Wallington starting the day after. Went to the Bloomsbury Bowling Lanes. The maximum score is 300; they show how to do a curveball. It was Dodge, Jul, Justin, Ross and myself.
Fri through the freedom of the common, train Balham to Olympia. A half at the Hilton's Plum Sports Lounge which is apt as the ex makes me feel like a plum. Then the Churchill Arms near Notting Hill which was an altogether more bustling affair. Jul and Just at the Queen's Arms. then Taio Cruz, Mark Ronson, N-Dubz and Pendulum at the Albert Hall.
Thurs night worked 8.45pm - 6.15am. Wed voluntary work for the Stockwell go-karting project. Enjoyed using the roller; therapeutic. Dropped in at Zeit, worked 8pm-6.30am. Saw Spider after 5 years; ex Citigroup. Worked Mon night and Sun night; was like a project. That Sunday had gone to Glassy Junction just near Southall station for Punjabi hospitality and two halves. Then a change for St Pauli; Hayes' Captain Morgan..nice memorabilia there. Ange turned up later.
Fri 17th night 12 hr shift; had to turn down boom operating work Fri morning; was at Holby 1-8pm on Thurs before going onto a 9-6am shift. Wed was 10 hrs, Tues 13.5. Also met a new client contact. Life can be a curveball.
