As always life
goes on, as always it’s not always a straight run on the road of life (LOL), what a
week, with a party as the endgame (see how topical I can be) with lots to do in
between, as always I have gotten ahead of myself, strap yourself in it’s a slightly
bumpy ride!
I was still
feeling a tad off through the week, even with my long weekend off, although a
welcome respite, it had not cured me of my ills, there was something lurking in the
background that I simply couldn’t put my finger on!
I kept
going forward, I had a great day, I had a poor day, then back to a great day, I was
struggling to play nice at work, nobody’s fault except mine, hopefully by the
end of the week I was a lot better than I had been at the beginning of the week, and
hopefully I didn’t piss too many people off (as if I care LOL) Friday was hard, as I simply seemed to have run out of
steam, thankfully I got across the finish line, all I had to do was rest and
relax, as we were going to a party and I wanted to be tip top for that, I wanted
to be, however life had different plans for me the bastard!
Friday night
was the usual and yes at some point I blinked for long periods of time, off to
bed at one in the morning, in bed tucked
in before I was properly awake, because if I was fully woken to the full degree of consciousness,
I would never get back to sleep (can you see were this is going) some nice
person or robot rang my phone at three o clock in the bloody morning, I scrambled
to answer it before it raised the dead (it woke me didn’t it) no glasses on and
half asleep I soon put it into the switched off mode, I did not as every one of
you expects, simply throw it at the wall, the issue then though I was now awake with
no chance of going back to sleep.
I tried to
go back to sleep and I tried absolutely not to wake up the wife (thankfully I was
successful in that task) however I was now wide awake and stayed that way until I got
out of bed a little after six in the morning, I was wiped out, hopefully the
rest of the day was going to go better then the previous evening, the rest of
the tribe got up did a few deeds and then the rest of the tribe arrived with
the grand kids running riot, I cooked quite a nice dinner for everyone and
things were going quite well until a familiar gurgling started in my guts (oh oh) we had started on a task that
we had been avoiding for the last couple of years and I was sweating buckets
and the stomach gurgling continued unabated, now this I could do without, until
I realised an explosion was going to occur and at a rate of knots I dived over
people to get to a safe haven, crisis averted however I was still sweating
buckets!
Crisis was
not averted, the enemy continued with repeated attacks, I really did just want
to die (yet again) job completed I decided to towel of the excess sweat and try
a snooze, I did not want to miss the party after missing the previous weeks shenanigans! I probably managed about an hour, however I awoke
refreshed and I tried some toast to settle my guts (crisis what crisis) it
seemed to sort me out, thankfully I would be going to the ball!
It was a combined
birthday party for the master of the royal hounds and one of his friends (who
had a simply inspired costume for the party but hold your horses I’m getting
ahead of myself) The youngest was going as Freddie Mercury from Live aid the
wife was going as Freddie from the Crazy little thing called love video, yes
you guessed it, I was going to a Queen
themed party now which Freddie could go as…………..none, I was going left of
centre, Gerry Stickells their tour manager (you
may have noticed I mentioned him in a previous blog “Shove It” ) I can
grow a beard I can wear a Hawaiian shirt how hard can it be, actually quite
easy, I made some passes of the backstage variety (Copies of the genuine article, no I didn’t have any,
but I know someone who does) so I went with a Crazy tour one a one from the
Game tour and I believe mine was from 82, me a nerd ……hell yeah! Somebody asked
me if I could do them a Kind of magic one and yes, I can!
Thankfully
refreshed and booted and suited we set off on an uneventful journey, no wife
shouting and swearing at passing drivers, well kind of, we arrived to find the
house of people, the host had excelled and had a complete Kind of magic suit
with proper yellow belted jacket and a full on crown and robe, even going to
the lengths of dying his hair the same colour as Mr Mercury, now that’s dedication,
definitely the winner of the evening,
then I had admit I was a little disappointed as I thought there were going to
be a million more Freddie’s with a designated parking spot for all of the accumulative
Hoovers, there were some great costumes just not as many as I thought that
there would have been, the other birthday boy’s was inspired he came as Connor
Mcloud flasher mac included and how he
walked the streets of shields to get there with that huge sword in his hands
(oh matron) and not to get arrested!
There was a
Roger Taylor (a female version) sorry but Roger was sexier (LOL I mean in a
nice way) there was even a Mr Bad Guy version of Mr Mercury (more of that
later) and a Tribute act who did a good job of dealing with the ignoramus’s who
continued to talk when he was performing , want to talk, fuck off to the back
of the house and let others enjoy the show! I know it’s a tribute act but he
was still trying his hardest to entertain those who wanted to watch, I’m not
going to go into huge detail it was a fun night, one that I intended to break
my (temporary) sobriety as it happens what with my stomach the way it was I decided
not to, and consequently it was my first ever party sober, not that I ever get
commode hogging drunk, squiffy yes, but not obnoxious, consequently I believe
the hosts thought I might have been heading down the rabbit hole, I wasn’t, I was
simply sober and shy and I really didn’t know a lot of people, the person who I
usually would have sat and spoken to
turned into Mr Bad Guy for the evening he was minging when we got there and
simply got drunker as the night went on, I had no problem as such but he
trampled on Blue a couple of times and was generally toxic to a few others,
spilt drink bad language whilst the act was live on Facebook, I genuinely thought
the wife was going to twat him at one point, however the host of the evening
gave him the look and he (sort of) calmed down, a lovely chap just last night I
think he had my share of drink as well (and a damn sight more), in the nicest
way I hope he is suffering this morning bless him!
The second
set was Neil Diamond songs and a bit of karaoke, the wife and the daughter got
up to sing as did the host, all in all a pretty good night (next time I will
not be sober………sober is boring) we headed home later than normal, we had our
own pooch to think about and others were going to work the next day (hahahahahaha
not me I had a blog to do) thankfully an uneventful journey home and we were soon headed up the wooden hill to the
land of dreams and boy were they some strange dreams, all Queen (the musical
entity not the drag kind) related, I awoke refreshed this morning, as I had
turned my mobile (of the phone variety not something swinging above my bed to
put me to sleep) off, I waved everybody off to work and now I sit typing this
monster up.
Now the
name game is in play and I was flabbergasted that nobody guessed or googled it,
today's title is a B-side but the artist should be so damn easy come on you all
know that you want to!
