or should that be from the Loreal Sublime ‘Bronze’ to the ridiculous???

Hmm well I think my first attempt at reducing my ‘Moon Tan’ with a piece of fakery will be my last. despite following the instructions to the letter, I still looked like I had tried to spray pain myself through a set of railings! Streaky? You bet! I looked like an yellowy orange striped zebra. Still I managed to cover the worst of it up (I think).

Ready for a night on the town.

Anyway, we all met up, decorated the birthday girl with badges, a sash, glow stick necklaces and a Disney Princess tiara emblazoned with a large sparkly ‘40′. Just to make sure that we couldn’t possibly lose her in one of those dark bars or course!

Linzi - The Birthday Girl.

The short walk into town was broken up by strangers shouting ‘Happy 40th Birthday!’  Which I think Linzi managed to get used to after the third or fourth shout. A couple of cars actually slowed down and had a jolly good stare – whether this was due to her birthday attire or the fact that we all looked gorgeous I can’t say.

We had a great night, no tumbles, no accidents (well nothing to speak of) and no one wandering off! However Kim was rather taken with two young police men and almost accosted them – to take a photograph of course with the birthday girl. Well at least that is what she said. An Indian meal at midnight is something I wouldn’t normally do, and for someone who doesn’t really eat Indian food (I really don’t like coriander!) I thoroughly enjoyed it and ate the lot, even the pilau rice and I ‘don’t do rice!’

I can’t speak for the others, but I know that I woke up without a hangover. That could be due to the fact that I only had three hours sleep though I suppose. I couldn’t wander around town every week, but once in a blue moon, yes I could manage that.
