Getting Quizzical

Darling#2's week seems to only be getting better, following on from the hair disaster earlier in the week, now compounded by a trapped nerve in her right arm, which also happens to be her drinking arm..... Clearly this is not ideal for her planned weekend activities of partying with uni friends at Putney Fez but one shall persevere, especially as if anything can dull such a pain it would be the consumption of copious amounts of alcohol.

 

With that in mind and with all of the managers out of the office, a boozy pub lunch in planned for this afternoon, purely for medicinal purposes, well they do say, when the cat's away......

 

Darling#1 in the meantime continued her quest to resurrect her lovelife. Having given up on Enduring Love, Darling#1 is now pursuing a Flash in the Pan. Luckily, The One That Never Was bbm'd conveniently with a date now set up for next week (catch up - a flirtation nearly a year ago now that never quite took off... he is terribly good looking though...) So far so good on the quest front.

 

Last night saw the arrival of the much anticipated Party Superstore quiz at The Victoria, in aid of the charity Street Kids Rescue.  The Battersea Darlings managed to round up a team of five including Lavender Hill Lovie, which grew to six when we recruited a random stranger. Said stranger was quite the recruit spending most of the evening on her I-phone googling answers - no one said we couldn't use our initiative (read cheating) to win......

 

As one can imagine and only hope, many bottles of wine were consumed, fuel for the brain obviously! A number of entertaining challenges ensued, including limbo, playdo modelling and blind taste testing.  However, despite using our initiative to help us claim 1st position and a bar tab we still only came fourth, that said much better than our performance on Sunday. 

 

The evening ended back at the Darlings apartment with a couple drunken friends.  Having adopted the rule "Eating is Cheating" there was much need for food, in the form of multiple bacon sandwiches but the night was still young and so ensued dancing on the coffee tables with copious amounts of wine....After all Thursday is the new Friday.

 

The result: A brilliant night had by all and a matching Friday morning hangover . Darling#1 left the house with eyeliner on just the one eye. Not rocking a new trend, just the result of too much plonk... oh dear.

 

Roll on the weekend!
