"You do not belong to the night but to the day".
Susie's party on Saturday at a former industrial venue in Ladbroke Grove was one of the best I've been to - even by Barran-Pouleaupot standards. Endless rooms and nooks and crannies to explore and get lost in by mobile phone light, copious guests and drink and food and many a friend to catch up with. Danceable music and fably atmospheric candle-lighting. Then a lift home with the gang in Barn's Rover 2000 in time to catch enough zzzz to get up for work.
All should have been well...
Ollah, bless her, had worked like a Trojan to get the place ready: not too much drunkenness and a good mix of ages. Lots of folk in costume - spots and stripes or black and white, and a birthday to celebrate to boot.

Bit of a rough place Ladbroke Grove.
Apparently the Police dealt with the situation well and managed to clear the building. They haven't as yet recovered Ollah's laptop, last seen disappearing up the road under the arm of a youth on board a bicycle...
(I'd be gutted if anyone made off with Chloe: poor Ollah!)
Well, it could have easily been a lot worse: a fire for instance, or the dancing dislodging one of the 20 or so props supporting the ceiling.
But it's still pretty bad...
A very hot coal blessing upon the head of whoever had the stupid idea of ruining the evening by gatecrashing and pilfering the hostesses bedroom: yes a very hot blessing indeed. My friend Stuart used to describe how our sin tightened the nails on the Cross a quarter turn.
See photos. Thanks to all of you who managed to get there.
Hope you had a blissful birthday with loved ones. I think one of the best event halls for rent is booked by the organizer. Party space seems to be a frolic and happening place. My friend also planned a dance party last year. Clicked a number of pictures and arrangements done were all fantastic.
