Death Metal, ice-cream and the boot and flogger......

My weekend at the seaside was pretty great, managed to fit in a birthday party, a blow down on the seafront and an Eagles of Death Metal gig with my sister who was so jetlagged but threw herself into the sweaty fray but announced the next morning that she "had nothing left..." as she lay in the foetal position! Duke and Joe breathed fresh sea air for a change and you can see from the picture how much they appreciated it....

This is the paddling pool that I used to noodle the summer months away in when I was a kid and now I take the boys to when we visit but it was looking a bit algae-ridden and lonely....I love the seaside out of season.

The Boot and Flogger is one of my favourite drinking dens in London, Mark Eley is one of my favourite people so his birthday celebration there was a perfect combination......

Tida "commissioned" a birthday cake and took charge of portion control......

......and Wak made sure the tankards were freshened.....

They all went on to more fun but I was only down the road from home so I left them tumbling into a fleet of taxis I think headed for the George and Dragon, glad I had an early night because the next day we got deliveries in the cake shop from APC, Eley Kishimoto AND Sonia Rykiel bijoux which i had to book in price etc, all the boring stuff but not fun with a hangover.......I'll post some pics next week, I'm suffering from getting in from Jonathan's birthday bash in the early hours of this morning and I'm not good for much.............yawn!
