Sinister: Sunday-picnic-odyssey

[Stefano S.]

	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 at 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
