Saturday November 27th: Met Maureen Burke in Max's for dinner. I enjoyed catching up with her news since we were last stranded in Abu Dhabi together last April. Remember 'Volcan-No!' ?Lorraine Finlay was supposed to come too, but she mixed up her weekends. I hope to meet her at U2 next week.
After Max's, Maureen dragged me to 'Transport' the 'in-place' before you go to the 'real' place. I thought that I was looking well in the 'Sunday-Going-To-Mass Suit'. I was feeling chuffed when a guy came up to me and said 'nice suit' but not so great when he added that I looked like Colonel Saunders! 'Transport' was nice and the music was great but I think that I prefer 'Rain' in Portobello. There are more people there that look like Colonel Saunders and I do not stand out so much there.
I got the bus home but did not know where to get off. I had Matt and Cheryl's address but the bus driver did not know where exactly it was. I was familiar enough with the road until he turned of and went what seemed like a parallel road. He left me out near a school but it was the wrong one. I was walking in the rain and the aforementioned suit was getting wet when I saw a light in a window and someone leaving a house. (it was after midnight and I did not want to wake up Matt and Cheryl). It was the Green Party's after election bash! I asked for directions and they went back into the house to get a map. They gave me directions and then one of the ladies asked me if i was dodgy. When I said no she was not disappointed but relieved! She offered me a lift home. When we got there I thanked her and explained that the day before I had changed some one's wheel and today I got a lift home after midnight. I wished that something nice would happen her tomorrow.
