Tale of Two Nights - Part 2 50th Birthday

After the carnage of Richards leaving do I headed down to Reading for Kims friends Mum and Dads 50th. I spent most the time looking out of the window and drinking Capri-Sun. Whats all this power station nonsense?
Trying to do something other than stare out of the window, I noticed this excellent trainer. I knew it was going to be a great night with omens like this.
Finally I got to the party and this tapestry got me in the mood for some banter. I think a lot of people joined together and made it. It was very pretty, and perfectly illuminated by the faux chandelier, although maybe not conducive for parties.
I went back downstairs to the main room and had drinks and fun with Kim's sister Kla and her boyfriend Chris. Chris was wearing an excellent necklace (not as good as mine from part 1)
There was a lot of posing which I was taking a dislike to, I class myself as an action photographer, look at these little grins.
It was decided that we needed to get a table because the food might be coming out. I spotted these little treats, 5 cocktail sticks and about 30 olives. I ate some but i didnt want to spoil my dinner.
It was a hot buffet and I opted for this plate of dreams. They had obviously used the olives as inspiration and developed a Mediterranean feel. It was lovely. A Mediterranean church hall.
After the food is when the tables are cleared and the dancing shoes come on. I decided to stay close to my girlfriend Kim which proved to be a bad idea.
She had never heard the phrase 'don't play with fire or you'll get burnt' and proceeded to play with the candle, burning her fire sensitive paw and knocking over a drink in panic.
Needless to say Chris and Kla were amused
Suddenly the rave started, it was all go go go!
This Light system seems somewhat inappropriate but people seemed to enjoy the techno vibe mixed in with a bit of Wham!Being the party animal that I am, I decided to take a back seat with Rob. We were comparing laddish tales and drinking Stella, like proper men. Although we did both have to slowdance ruining the image we created for ourselves.
After realising that I actually looked dead, and quite chubby, I decided to call it a night. The party weekend had took its toll. We went home happy in the knowledge we had just been to a party in a church hall.
