Drink Bacardi like it's your birthday

Had Hodsons over for brunch yesterday. Laurence is 1 on Thursday so Joe sang Happy Birthday to each and every one of us in his honour. They're looking forward to a flight to Hong Kong on Wednesday with two small children so don't envy them that. Had a very soggy weekend what with the weather and Sylvie's fascination with Astro's water bowl! Spent an enjoyable evening at Hammersmith Apollo on Monday watching Michael McIntyre, it was funny watching single, childless people staring blankly as he told lots of married with children stories. Didn't much like paying £12 for two drinks though! Isabel from Joe's room at nursery baby sat for us so we could really relax. Costa is playing Christmas music back to back now so there can only be a couple of months to go now, have booked dinner at O'Fabulous for my birthday. Mr Ibbs told me they were celebrating Ireland's new son's victory - O'Bama. Zara and I are going to Baby Loves Disco at Pacha on Sunday with Joe and Taya - last time I was at Pacha I was with five gay men and a drag queen wearing a floor length fur coat - how times have changed!
