Andi's 32nd





Once again I'm at this computer in the early hours of the morning divulging another spectacular night of friendship, roarcous behaviour and eyes full of that mischievious trinkle................

It was Andi, or as I like to call her 'my little oreo' birthday, and yes we had a celebration for her on the weekend, and what a house party. As with all London houses/flats they are narrow but long. Therefore we squished 30 people into a kitchen and a small back garden for a night of drinking, stupendious laughter, dancing (more like a lot of shaking and grinding those hips that us women have been so blessed with) and how could I forget Jouls' fabulous one of a kind chocolate cake. It's ok people there was no paint brushes and nutella to causes this party to go left field, mind you when do we need that to venture down that left path that we all love so much....!

Most of all it was clean, good fun and with all of our gatherings it makes me realise how lucky I am to have such fabulous, querky, eccentric friends that light up my life and make my everyday experinces better and better with surprises that just keep on rolling like the ocean, never ceasing, but always moving.



Tonight..........
We all arrived, late I may add though nothing unusal with that, to our place of dwelling, the Big Easy restaurant on the kings road in Chelsea. Oh yes we went upmarket, however you couldn't call the place upmarket. It's a place where you get down, dirty and intermit with you food, oh yes Jen your crab experince comes start to the forefront for this one. Jen you're so lady like and gently, but watching you devle into that crab with pure brut force was a sight to see, you tear that meat out of that shell girl, a very cathartic experdition! There is nothing sexier then seeing a women ripe apart a shell and devour the meat, god love ya!


The atmosphere was quite vibey, until we got there. We took over the place, mush to a certain tables disgust, but what the hell we were having a ball. The live musicans that played all those classic songs that we could clap and sing along to must be praised for there involvement in getting us going and disrupting others meals. Put Jess (my sister) and I in an enviroment like that and we can't help but insigate...........!

The food was flowing on plates bigger then a womans vulptious chest, with all types of meat brimming over the sides and how can I forget the chocolate milkshakes, oh heaven in a glass.
So after eating half a cow some people left, but us die hards, which you must take into account this is a tuesday night, went exploring for a little night cap. Did we find a place or what! A lovely dark, leather couched, salsa bar called Azteca. I would never have thought there would be such a place on the posh kings road, but what a find. The mojitas where purchased and slumbering on black leather couches followed. What a perfect way to end such a good night, liam you are a lucky bastead, three hot women surrounding you and you got to take one of them home.

To my friends it is always a pleasure and a prevailge to spend my time with you, I could ask for nothing better in this life and don't forget that verbal contract you signed when you spoke the words yes Lexy. So prepare yourselves for moving to San Fran in 2008!

The Spirit!

So many things seem so far away now!!
It’s amazing how life changes and what paths you go down, those that you could never have envisioned you find yourself wondering down. Looking at the scenery around you, it starts you thinking about those goals, hopes and dreams you had and where they went. Whether they are important to you anymore or is it that they were needed at the time and have now lost their pull or purpose.
There is a saying that you are where you are meant to be right now!
How you can lose sight of that at times. Sometimes it feels like everything around you is so wrong, your body feels a vessel which you spirit isn’t meant to reside in, that life surrounds you on all sides drawing closer and closer taking that freedom of breathe, to be able to make decisions with a clear head.
Instinct is a useful part of our being but how much do we trust it and how much can you trust it when we let our heads be crowded with external influences rather then clearing our minds and truly feeling what our spirit is telling us. It’s like shouting at the top of your voice in a crowed place with some many other words being shouted at the same time. Which is the true one to let yourself focus on and shut out the rest that is inconsequential and what others place there?

Where does your being start and everyone else end? To know this is a great feat, one which should be cherished and held onto. Though we should be part of everything, however I believe that we should be part of all nature that surrounds us and sustains us in this body, but to be well defined from others. To be able to stay true your spirit is a continuous learning experience and journey that we are all on all of the time. You can recognise this or just close those eyes and stare at what is ever in front and behind, but not what is right here right now.
I made an analogy the other day about the difference between the sensitive side of a person and a strong side. That analogy goes like this, the strong side of a person is like ice you can mould it, it has clear defined borders.

The Coming Together of Two

What a wedding it was!

This is the first wedding of my close friends..............Now here comes the domino effect and I welcome it with open arms, becasue there is nothing better then seeing two people that are in love celebrating it with their friends and family.
The energy on those days is electrifying, intense and pure.

I wish Archie and Nina all the happiness, joy and strength to get them through any obsickle that is placed in their path.

They truely are amazing together.

I have known Archie for 8 years now and Nina over 2 years. I can honestly say that I have never seen my close friend (Archie) happier. The light that Nina brings to his eyes is thrilling, that is what love is meant to be. Love is many things I know, but to see somebody light up when their partner walks into a room, is mentioned or they are just thinking about them is truely magical, I wish that for everybody. I know that their lives together will also be tested, however if there are two people that can get through anything together and in the process bring them closer and grow stronger for it then it is these two.

I love you both and looking forward to being part of your new adventure.

I can't wait for a little Archie and Nina running around!
