Despite all my confident predictions, the weather in Brighton on Saturday was RUBBISH. But it didn't stop us from having a lovely time (who needs sun when you have PUBS?) And as if Monday mornings weren't painful enough, I have immortalised the experience in song: Wrapped Up In Booze It was not that bright, up on Brighton Pier tonight I could see out of the window of Horatio's bar No one on the bumper cars Beside four boys, I just don't know if they are up for What I have in mind If they are up for what I have in mind Pimms is on the cards, but 'pork on chips' will be hard But I never want to leave here We've had an ice cube fight Liz and Rob and Stefano Ian, Ken and Robyn too I wish I had nothing to do tomorrow I'd drink tequila without any sorrow I will drink some beer, just while we are sitting here I will wrap my hands around it I know it will be fine We've got a karaoke bar We didn't get wet, we didn't dare Our aspirations, are wrapped up in booze Our inclinations are guided by Chu Summer's hastening on I'm trying to get weather that isn't so shitty But I've been incapable I've been playing air hockey We won on Millionaire We didn't get wet, we didn't dare Our aspirations, are wrapped up in booze Our inclinations are guided by Chu [repeat] Er yeah. It might have been better if I'd actually remembered how the tune went. But anyway, any Sinister picnic where you win £6, eat Liz's scones, and have a Canadian for a whole afternoon goes down as a success in my book. It was also a bonus to have the lovely Ian and Stefano as guests, since it gave me an excuse to go shopping all day on Sunday and prove that we do SOMETIMES get sunshine in Brighton. I'm coming up to London next time though, where there's not so much chance of being swept out to sea.
