Hen night and other assorted news...

So, this weekend was the official hen night to London. We kicked it all off with a visit to the West End to see Chicago. This is one of the bride to be's favourites and we surprised her with a matinee performance in the afternoon. I didn't much like it, but it's not for me to! We then went for a curry to a restaurant recommended by one of my friends who is half Indian. It's the only Indian restaurant her dad will go to and I must say it was delicious. No beef and plenty of vegetarian dishes. it was also fairly reasonably priced for London too! On the second day we went to afternoon tea at Browns Hotel. This was very nice for a treat but wickedly expensive for what it was. We did have the champagne tea though as it was a special occasion! Later that day we went a little more down market and went on a disco boat along the Thames. It was hilariously bad, and that made it good. There was another hen party on the boat and they were all in fancy dress. One of them was there as Amy Winehouse, and she lent me her wig so I could pose for a photo....how do you like it?



Hen night part two is this weekend and Muneer has kindly agreed to have me stay as there was no room at the Inn at the bride's house. It's also the final dress fitting, so we'll see how well that goes!!!

I appear to have come late to this censorship issue and am unsure what it relates to, but I will say this, people should be allowed to write what they want in their own blogs. I also think that maybe sometimes it's hard to convey meaning in text. I doubt very much that anyone would be intentionally trying to cause anyone pain either!

And finally, BARACK OBAMA TO WIN!!!

Looks like Obama the crook will win. Let's talk in a year or two and see what positive change he will have instigated. My guess is that the big corporations and the money lobbyists will persuade him otherwise and implement stuff that is in their interests and not that of the every day person. That's what I call a crook and that is why I couldn't vote for him.

BTW the wig looks good. Keep it.

Hen nights seem wickedly expensive, glad I will never be a bridesmaid? However London did sound like fun.
The wig added a certain something to the occasion but it's not you Gina, Stick to your original haircut.
Was awake at 3am to see Obama win. It was an historical moment for me. Good luck to the man I say.
