Muddyfunkster: A Word to the Unwise

An action packed weekend all round! Friday night I stayed in, practiced for my test this afternoon. Saturday morning was the same, along with some work for my old job. Saturday night we went out for dinner to celebrate my birthday. I wasn’t really keen on celebrating it, I’m not big on celebrating my own birthday, but the girl organised it all and got the crowd round the table. My twin sister was there so we doubled it up and had twice the fun. We started with 3 bottles of champagne in the flat, kindly provided by the girlfriend, and then onto the Villager for a few cocktails before dinner. The restaurant of choice was the Point Hotel – I have to say the food was very nice indeed, as was the Viejo that went with it. Sadly, the service was atrocious – they were pleasant enough but totally incompetent and seriously under staffed (which finally climaxed in my sister tearing a few strips off the manager). Then we stumbled into the Hogshead for more shots and fun – I distinctly remember playing Mallet’s Mallet at one point. I don’t remember leaving, or going to the 24 hr shop on the way home, or making cheese and ham toasties in the flat but I’m sure I enjoyed that too.

Sunday brought much lethargy and a healthy hangover – but we dragged ourselves out of bed and went shooting at Cluny Claysover in Fife. It was my first time, and I only hit 1 in 3, but it was great fun and intensely satisfying. Look out for me on a rampage near you!

My birthday is actually today, so I’ve spent the morning opening presents. The highlights so far being a load of clothes (from the fashion expert girlfriend), some DVD’s and an amazing wireless mouse that controls your media centre! So now I can control the lappy when it’s playing tunes through my surround sound system. Happy days!

I’m not looking forward to my test this avo, it’s like being at Uni again and I'm heading to an exam that I've not prepared for and not even been the classes!
