Friday night out

Up and early working, before bussing off to my glass class. Spent the two hours getting led cement into one side of the window, a process a bit like grouting, and then using chalk dust, called whiting, and a brush to polish the glass on that side. Then I tidied up the grouting bits by holding the window up to the light.  Next week the b side, and then I'm done.

After this, a coffee with Yvonne, Adele and Frances. Chris having hurt his back this week. Enjoyed having a laugh with them. Then I bussed home again, said hello to Sonia and did a bit of this and that on my computer, and had a cheeky doze.

Walked over to Anton's house where I ate some of his pizza and chatted with Anne and Klaudia and Anton for a bit, before we pushed off into town. Had a a pub crawl, popping into many and various pubs, perhaps most memorably Bar Broadway in Kemptown, where musicals take centre stage. The screens in the bar had ornate gold picture frames, and featured songs from Cabaret and also The Spice Girls. From there we went to Patterns, a club and music venue. There we saw Mattiel, and her band. For complex reasons this was the third time Anton had seen Mattiel this week. He has a WhatsApp group set up with pals from work, and has delighted in posting pictures of himself standing next to the singer and sending them to the jealous pals.

She had good material, and her band was excellent, and I thoroughly enjoyed the gig. We even spoke to her a wee bit afterwards, were I snapped a pleased with himself Anton. Home by cab after a splendid night out.
