Glass? What Glass? Dink! Oh That Glass!

What an absolutely fabulous weekend I've had; I couldn't have wished for a better birthday!

On Friday night I went out with Kay to a really nice Thai restaurant; it was delicious! We'd opted to stay fairly local rather than brave a night out in the city, so then we hit a couple of bars where there was some serious people watching to do. It's amazing what you can spot over an couple of glasses of vino, I just wish I'd taken my camera!

Yesterday I went out for a meal with a few friends, namely the lovely Mariek (who had a pass out for the whole night and got to stay over and everything!), Stef and her hubby Tony, and Ally Andbag and Stevie Sandwich. Anyhoo, we all met up here for a drink and I got to open my present from Marie; to say I was pleased with it was an understatement. Marie and I had both agreed to make each other something for our birthdays and I think Marie got me spot on with this one: I got my very own customised Slash Bear...

...complete with nose ring...

I still giggle every time I look at him!

Anyway, after the excitement over the pressie, off we trundled to the local Italian. The drinks were flowing...

...everyone was having a great time...

...though I think something must have disagreed with me, Stef and Tony...

Afterwards it was back to ours for a bit of a Wii tournament; well, playing Wii bowling til 3am! Poor Marie wasn't up to her usual kingpin self as she had to play with an injury. You see, poor old Marie got a bit confused and thought she was at Hogwarts, at least that's why I'm presuming she tried to walk THROUGH the patio door rather than opening it first! Don't worry people, my patio door is still intact! However, we have sent Marie back home with a rather nasty gash across her nose and I'm going to invest in some sort of safety fence for next time she comes round!

Anyway, it was a late one so I think it's now time for bed as we have some serious catching up to do! Thanks to everyone who gave me such a lovely weekend!
