Sinister: Sunday-picnic-odyssey
Sunday... mhmhmhmh... yesterday, wasn’t it?? ...Woke up pretty early and trying to be a god picnic fellow went to the [rather empty] kitchen in a singing shiny unusual mood, and prepared half a kilogram of one of my favourite traditional north-Italian Christmas cakes, actually a hyper-caloric sweet Cream. Then went to the local grocery and take biscuits and chocolate. Everything ready, lets go. Caught the bus then the tube. Camden station closed, stop at Mornington Crescent and extra happy walk up to the Spread Eagle. Time: 13:15. Perfect timing. Let’s have a pint. 13:30 no sinister around, suspicious. Let’s have another pint. 13:45. Still no-one around. The magic word start running around my mind “Saturday”.... Saturday.... Saturday.... Where the hell are the instructions? (I had printed out Steve’s e-mail...)... probably I’ve let it in the kitchen.... mhmhmhm.. Pint #4... 12:45.. Saturday Saturday rumble rumble gasp gasp.... Back to Mornington crescent, Camden station still closed.... Up to the northern lines. Back to the bus and in the [very crowded] kitchen, Saturday Saturday! Shame!.....mhmhmhmh.... I’m apparently a bit dazed. Try to kill the depression having half of the half of the half of the Christmas cream ... had an inspiration and went in the bedroom *listening* to a century of fakes... ‘your feeding your fat face with every etc etc’... no chance to be dropped anyway... ...... Still ½ of an ½ a Kg to go... second inspiration: BOWLING!!!! I remember someone called for a second sinister bowling night {I’ve sorry I haven’t checked in the archive, who you are! :)}. Why the bowling? 1) I live right in from of the bowling lane, which makes everything really comfortable [to me] 2) I’ve still ¼ of Kg of cream I’ve prepared with all the *love* of my for your dearest sinister [not to be mentioned I could afford no to eat it all alone] 3) Finally I can do something useful for the list since I’m London Hence instruction and bowling poll: I suggest the Hollywood Bowling as a venue. How to get there? Take the northern line, to east Finchley and then the 263 but which stop just opposite to the bowling place.... It is not too complicate. Isn’t? Anyway we could meet somewhere else instead. i.e. there is a pub, the white old lion or something similar just by the side of the east Finchley station. Should we meet there, have a couple of pints, and then take the bus, or if the weather is clement walk up the hill, get sweets or whatever, ‘scoff them’ and then bowling??? Is the program feasible??? If you think it is all right, please contact me at the following e-mail address: s.santabarbara@qmul.ac.uk Just to know how many we will eventually be and in case book the bowling place. Point number 2... date.... I know it is quite a pretty short advice, but to you think TUESDAY will be fine? Open to any options, just I’m off on Wednesday.... Take care Yours, stfano ‘Sunday/Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/’ September, October, November or December? +-------------------------------------------------------------------------+ +---+ Brought to you by the Sinister mailing list +---+ To send to the list mail sinister@missprint.org.
