  • A good night out!

    I was at a private party at a night club in town last night and didn't get home until one o'clock. I spent a lot of the time dancing to some really bass-heavy trance and drum and bass. Normally I'd take the chance to talk to people, but the music was just too loud though, in fact my ears are still buzzing now - over six hours later.

    (It was all arranged at short notice and so that's why I didn't mention it on yesterday's posts.)

    I really enjoyed myself; it was the first time I'd been out in over a month, and although I'm tired and my feet are sore and my calf muscles are aching I'll be looking forward to the next time; whenever it will be.
