Mexican Night!

Arriba, Saturday night , we were in Mexico! Well not quite, but it was Mexican themed. There were Margaritas, Chilli and Tequila Sunrises.

We periodically go over to our friends house for night of drinking, they have kiddies, we don't it's an easy way to get together. We don't usually theme the evenings but for some reason this time we did, and it was great fun. We even cracked out the playing cards for a drinking game which took us into the early hours. Easy rules thankfully, everyone get a card, lowest card takes a glug from the designated cocktail in the middle. The end of the game was reached when we ran out of booze.

Just wish I'd taken more pictures, Adam took a few videos of the cocktail glug reactions, which I personally feel should never see the light of a public forum. So they will be for personal consumption only.

Needless to say Sunday was spent nursing hangovers in front of the T.V.

Do you ever do theme night's with friends, any suggestions for our next one?

Zombie Weekend

Not really for Halloween, just incidental but this weekend has been a bit of a zombie fest for Adam and me.
Saturday we had a Walking Dead Season 4 catch up, soo good love Walking Dead. Then we watched World War Z, I'm in the process of reading the book but it's taking a while because I'm a wuss and can't handle reading it at bedtime. I know the movie had mixed reviews but we both thought it was great.

Then on Sunday we did the Zombie Evacuation run with my bezzie mate Sarah. It's a 5k obstacle run with a few zombies thrown in the mix, but due to the bad weather I think some of the obstacles had to be adapted. (I left me phone at home so Sarah took the pictures, hence why she is in the middle.)

Luckily you can't see in the picture but I had to write my bib number on my forehead with a sharpie, thankfully it didn't take too much scrubbing to come off.

We were given these belts with 3 velcro tags on, they represented our lives, bit like in a video game I guess, if all 3 were taken by the zombies we were classed as "Infected", which happened to us all, I was the last of us to lose all 3, right near the end as well, typical.

Because of all the rain over the past couple of days the course was pretty much just mud, and we were in the last group so it really was quite churned up, but on the plus side the rain held off until we finished, and a lot of the zombies were quite weary by that point. They still did a great job, I think I am right in saying that they were all volunteers too. All were superbly made up, there was a ballerina, police, and a clown to name a few, some were fast and would chase you, others were slow and moany. One in particular made me scream, she was dressed as a police woman and hiding in a ditch, so as I jumped over the ditch she jumped out, freaked me right out and many others behind me.

At the finish we all got a dog tag and a t-shirt, it was great fun and we were discussing maybe volunteering to be zombies next year.

If you fancy having a go next year these are the guys we used Zombie Evacuation I'm pretty sure there are a few others around, so give it a go, great fun and a bit of exercise too.

Cheer Up

A friend of mine has been quite poorly this year, but she is finally on her last treatment, so I thought I would send her something to keep her spirits up during. So I drew her a picture of me being a cheerleader, to cheer her up/on. (Bit of poetic licence with the lack of muffin top and bingo wings) But it made her laugh so job done.

Purple Van Man

Last night we went to our local theatre to see Sean Lock, as part of his Purple Van Man tour. Oh my he is sooo funny, well we thought so anyway. It was just him on stage no props, unless you count the bottle of water, ranting on about pet hates, with just the right amount of nonsense thrown in. Like with most comedy shows I have seen as soon as I walk out I can't remember any of the jokes, but I know I was laughing, a lot. 

OK I can remember some of it, but I wouldn't want to spoil it for you, I can say that the encore was a stroke of genius, I think I even had a happy tear I laughed so hard.

Obviously comedy is very subjective, but if you are a fan of Sean I would recommend this show.

Do you have any comedy recommendations?
