Well I remembered my camera...

Now I have actually got to start taking some decent pictures. Last weekend was Immigrants Cafe's 7th Anniversary. A good one to stick in the diary as it tends to be pretty busy and with a 3000 yen nomiholdai (forgive the spelling) for as much food and drink as you can consume in an evening. Problem is that Immi's is a little difficult to manoeuvre when it's a bit packed and on top of that, the main walk way is mainly metal grating - not great for high heals. The fact of the matter is though, once you've taken a few picture of random people strutting their stuff, every party pretty much looks the same! Took a few that are good for facebook, but I'm struggling for a blog photo (let alone a turbo blog pose.. well Glen will understand that)
So what else did I do this weekend.... Friday night went out, had a few drinks as per usual. Recovered Saturday as per usual. Went to the party on Saturday night, had a few drinks, there's a pattern emerging here isn't there?
Sunday though I did something really different. Sunday I fitted the front brake pads to Shizuka Honda Cube - a job that should take 20 mins but actually took nearly sweaty 3 hours. Still, saved her about £100. The rest of the day was spent trying to clean myself up. I went to pick her up after work and thought I'd just give her a gentle demonstration of how much better they were now. Unfortunately we both ended up nearly licking the wind screen, but it proved the point!
Just saved my self £XX,XXX by delaying so long over buying a car that it has been sold. Partly because I didn't have enough money and partly because I was just too chicken to spend £xx,xxx on a car - even if it is half the UK price. Ah well, lets take a look at some RX7's......

Actually everytime someone says nomi holdai or whatever, I hear 'c'mon bring the noise' I thought I was the only one who made the slade connection. I'd be worried if I were you!

Photo's will go on facebook in 10mins (now 5.20pm)

As for car buying - too much for a blog entry, I'll switch to e-mail!
