fns..

so i forgot to tell you about last friday night..
me, cate and caleb found ourselves once more footloose and fancy free on a friday evening
deciding that a second attempt on the cloud bar was now several months overdue, we went back to our respective homes at about 9 and got ready to be allowed into the hilton.
and we did it! we went in and waited on the red carpet for the escalator, and there, 20 feet inside the building it had already become clear that we were going to have to explain to caleb the concept of nouveaux riche...the people that go there are just the kind of people that i, snobbishly, ungraciously or whatever, have been happy to be avoiding, on the whole, for the last approximately 10 years...it was very, very funny, realising again that these people really are real, that they go places to be seen, and to see who else is going..i kept wondering how many of the turned heads around the room were recognising caleb from the MEN a few days before..!
but the view...
it was so worth it all, for the view..all four sides of the 23rd floor...imagine, that's only half-way up the building! the view is awesome....
so we proceeded with our Friday Night Singles meeting, hot topics included anonymous valentines...what can they ever hope to achieve? and that kind of thing...
anyway, it was ace, we left there and went to somewhere where we felt much more at home, some smoky gross pub with pool and magners and that as lovely..in a different way!
anyway, i recommend the cloud bar, for the view, the strange seats and the fake-tan giro jet-set...
thanks guys it was a really fun evening...x
