Hot Town

The weather has been great for the last couple of days and so to make the most of it i went to a pub with a nice beer garden for a few drinks after work. I was meeting a couple of friends there and went straight from work to the pub. My friends stayed later in work than planned so I got to sit around and wait for an hour and a half for them to turn up. Which was fine as i am enjoying the book i am reading (Quicksilver by Neal Stephenson) very much at the moment. It was very busy in the beer garden and so, in order to keep my table while i went inside to get another drink, i left my book, my bag and some of a pint on the table. It was not enough though and i came back outside to find a woman sitting at the table. She was cool about it being my table, but her and her friend/special lady friend wanted to stay until my friends turned up. One of them was high on something and they were both pretty pissed and it all resulted in a fairly unusual conversation as we discussed their lesbian rape film idea they were hoping to film. We also touched on the subject of why men like the idea of lesbianism and one of them tried to suggest men like lesbians because they like the idea that two women are going to be closer emotionally because they are more similar than a man and a woman. I told her i was fairly sure it wasn't that...

That killed the time until my friends arrived, at which point they left the table. After a couple of beers we then went to meet my friend's slightly crazy but entertaining Uncle for a quick drink in another pub and finally headed home for sushi.

Sunshine, a good amount of strangeness, a few beers and some nice food. It was a good evening.
