Well, I can now officially declare in BIG BOLD CAPITALS to all you folk who haven't ever been to a Sini picnic that they are fun. Or this one was anyway. And I also now know know what sinister people look like and I can imagine them sitting at their computers, tapping away at their posts and think "I can just imagine that person saying that". So, it started dismally, to be honest. I remebered about the picnic at 1 o'clock in the afternoon while wandering, rather lost, among the posh art galleries of Cork St. (A Grammar note, should I put a full stop after an abbreviation? I've no idea).(I'll put now, though, anyway) So I jumped upon the nearest tube (Picadilly) and got out of Camden Town tube at about 1:55. This may seem a long time but I couldn't find the station for bloody ages so it's pretty reasonable. I then thought two things: 1)Oh damn, I can't remember how to get to Primrose hill from here. 2)Oh Bugger, I didn't bring any food. I then proceeded to get lost attempting to find primrose hill by walking along the canal. Which, for those of you not familiar with Camden Geography is a way, but not a good one, to get to Primrose Hill. At this point I unzipped my Cardigan so that my Ampersand t-shirt showed, just in case no-one was looking very twee and I was too nervous to talk to them, in case they said "What's Sinister?" and looked at me oddly. But my t-shirt showing paid off, as down the hill came James Danson-Hatcher and Hannah Brown (I, of course had no idea who they were at this time), who asked me if I was sinister. They were off to the pub, as no-one appeared to have turned up so I came with them. But then we met more people and soon there were 5 of us at then top of the hill, including Will salt and Fellow Rachel, Miss Sunnyside, and another Rachel, who wasn't a listee. All three of whom (grammar) had come from Dundee, which I have to say, seems a bit far for a picnic. The detailed stuff wil stop now but suffice it to say that we went to the pub, and I asked Hannah to get my drinks as I have been all nervous of ordering in pubs since I got chucked out of one. Ken Chu also showed up. And things happened, but I had to leave early as I was meeting my friend Daniel at 7 and felt it was too late to just cancel. So I didn't get to see that much of the drinking game, and I was sad to leave, And I hope to go to another, dead soon. !Viva Rachels!
