Yep it is. I can't make it I'm afraid. There is a group on bookface for it though

My how the Twenties roared into Balham last night! It was like something out of a filmset! A really great party, awesome company and much laughter, dancing and drinking. All captured brilliantly by ttcyles excellent pics - I don't know what I think I'm doing trying to operate a camera as yours are in a completely different league to mine, yours are real art-photographs, mine are definitely just snaps.

I must say that alcohol is a very confusing thing. I tried to buy User1314 a Heineken which was written all over his pint glass to be told "we don't sell Heineken" Oh, that's Amstell incognito! Then the moment at the bar with five Martinis in the making (I am sure that's a Teef/235/PoS/mmm line!) Susie looked me straight in the face and asked me "What's the best Vodka?" to which I could only reply "What's Vodka?" (as I hurriedly tried to Google the answer to her question!)

So thank you Dellzeqq and the Birthday Girls for a mighty fine time indeed. Wishing you both a Very, Very Happy Birthday!

Well, that was much fun and thoroughly enjoyable.

Always great to see everyone, but this time it was a bit harder as no one, baring moi, was in lycra or with our beloved bikes, baring titus there however.. Note to self, must get a brompton!

So yes, many thanks for the invite and bubbly and a rather nice different friday night out for me. Am quite sure I was the only one without a hangover Saturday morning..

Happy birthday to the bday girlies again and see you all soon.

PS, Grace, GREAT photos.

You rascals - once you get together there's no stopping you.

wonderful photographs Grace and Martin.

I'm afraid that Friday night's excesses were followed by an Epicurean Saturday. Susie took us out to lunch at the Tate, where, for a not outrageous sum one can have three courses each accompanied by a wine of the Tate's choosing. We did look at some art afterwards, but found it difficult to concentrate.

we found this (by an artist from Streatham)

put me in mind of this

as, no doubt, it's intended to.

(To save others looking, the answer is Graham Sutherland. It wasn't easy to find!)

 

[dellzeqq]

maybe. Actually an awful lot in life puts me in mind of that sculpture by Canova. I thought that I might be alone.....

I may have been tipsy and the low-level lighting along with a glass of bubbly may have distorted my events of the night... may have... ahem..

And yes, ditto!
