Sunday, sweet Sunday

Maybe the picture below needs an explanation. All the ladies in the choir held a big party for the men; three course dinner, drinks, entertainment, the lot (any friend on facebook can see a few pictures there). It also included decorating the gents’ – walls covered in sports, candles everywhere, and a small table with a few cans of beer, and loads of samples of men’s toiletries (perfumes, deodorants, and even a facial crème). There was a Moroccan lamb stew (Jamie Oliver’s recipe, very nice) for mains, and the men were really waited upon. Loads of dancing and drinks afterward. A great night, I got home at around 3, but stayed up and chatted to Helena who stayed the night instead of going all the way out to her western suburb. Still managed to get up at 9 (!), when Tim made us a full English breakfast, while I baked scones. Helena left at 14, and then we went back to Battersea park. Took the bus there (quite a detour, but fun to see new parts of town – I really like both Clapham and Battersea now), and strolled around for an hour or so. Didn’t have time to go to the zoo, so I’m saving the otters for another day. Had party leftovers for dinner, and then watched the last Alien-movie. We started going through the series (which Tim got for his birthday last year) last Sunday, when I wanted to watch an action movie. Watched Alien on Sunday, then number 2 and 3 on the Monday, but haven’t had the time to sit down since. So, it was definitely time for the last one tonight. Tim doesn’t care too much for this one, but I quite liked it. So far, my favourites are Alien vs. Predator (maybe because that was the first one I watched?), Aliens (no. 2) and then Alien Resurrection (no. 4). Now I’m off to bed to dream about scary monsters…
