Dave was originally going to have a party on Tuesday, but after I inivted him to two seperate parties for the Tuesday, he postponed to Thursday.
Wednesday night I receieved a text from John (Gunstone) inviting me to his party on Thursday too. So all through Thursday I was in mental turmoil as I tried to decide which party I’d go to. In the end I decided on Dave’s, as he had invited me first and I hadn’t seen that group of people in a while.
I rang Lauren to see when she was going. She said she’d be setting off in a few minutes. I asked her if she had managed to convince Amy Jutsum to come (she had said the night before that she would). She told me that she had tried but had not succeeded. I hung up and rang Amy. I asked her if she was going and she said she wasn’t sure. I told her about how amazing it would be and pointed out that we hadn’t seen each other in forever. Immediately she agreed and quickly hung up and rang Lauren.
“Hey Lauren, where are you?“
“In the car.“
“I want to come.“
“Mum, stop!“
And as if influenced by divine intervention, Lauren’s car stopped right outside Amy’s house, or so I am told.
I then rang Pete to find out when he was coming into Bingham. He said he’d be coming in on the train at 2015. I told him that I’d meet him at the station.
I left the house and walked towards the station and met Pete walking towards me. We walked together to Dave’s where the party was really kicking off.
Dave, Grace, Lauren, Amy and Sarah were in the “Sweat Pit” watching music television.
A moment or two later, Lloyd (Callum’s brother) came.
I decided to go into Bingham to buy some alcohol, I asked everyone if they’d like to go and everyone said they would except Dave. It was deemed unfair for everyone to leave Dave alone so Sarah and Llyod agreed to stay.
We went into Bingham to the brand-spanking-new Sainsburys (just opened that day!). I bought some Tiger beers which were pretty cool.
We then returned to Dave’s where Diego, Tom Moreland and Martin had arrived.
I then discovered that Abby and Natty were also coming. What’s more… they were outside trying to find Dave’s house.
Lloyd and I went outside and met the girls and brought them inside. When we returned everyone decided to go outside. We spent the rest of the night in the garden with a few of us occasionally disappearing to the end of the garden until Mikey and Simon arrived. I then went for a drive with them to Simon’s house so he could get changed, and then back to Dave’s. Not much happened at Dave’s after that, Simon gave me a lift home at about 0100.
I got in and fried some eggs and onions and grilled some bread for a lovely midnight feast.
