A few months ago Bob had intended for us to go out for a meal with some Peking duck in celebration ah…I dunno his First, his graduation, his new job…*shrugs* In the end the whole thing got stupidly delayed because we couldn’t seem to find a free weekend to do it in.

Eventually an opportunity arose when we realised that if we didn’t do it before Alice went travelling then hell it would be a another long wait until we could do it. So it was planned to be held around Easter Monday.

I thought people were joking on twitter when there was talk of seeing Muse at the cinema. I mean what sort of a crazy idea is that?…

Of course an idea crazy enough to actually work…

You see months and months ago we had all found ourselves at Wembley Stadium, not once, oh no, but twice to watch Muse play in all their glory in the biggest venue to date. And now…we were planning to watch it all again, in high def (ultra realism) surround sound action at the cinema..(then afterwards..because we’re all sad like that…we’re probably going to fork out to buy the dvd after too. Ha.)

So originally Stu was twittering asking me down to the London showing but I didn’t know if I was working and going to London at such a short notice just for a day with no where to stay was just not doable for me. Then Gem pipped up and it so turns out there’s a Leeds showing too. This was more doable for me because there was a better likelihood of somewhere to stay annddd it was easier to get to etc. So after checking I wasn’t working on Tuesday I decided I was so there.

New Years Ever 2007…

I hadn’t really thought about it that much. I find that when it comes to these big events, if you have an idea and plan and plan then it never turns out half as good as it should be. Sometimes you can’t force these things, sometimes you have to just let them roll as they should.

Many many many weeks before the actual time it was kinda suggested that, since Stu had an empty house, we could have a proper New Years Eve gathering there, plus it was kinda for Kazzie’s benefit too since she’d never really done much for New Years and all (apart from the epic legend of the six hours…anyway….)

So yeah I got invited and I felt very much in the air of the whole situation, at the time I just didn’t know what I’d be doing when, in fact it even got brought up when I wasn’t even working at the time. That was just how much uncertainty there was for me about it…

But as things turned out I did find myself speeding along the A1 towards the M25 and yet again en-route towards a southern town of Canterbury…
