free house = house party

Drinking a fine guest ale called Hidden Spring with Gerald in The Old Green Tree I mentioned the idea of a cider themed party to which he enlightened me about poly barrels. Bar person Mat enthused about Black Rat which could be obtained in poly barrels from Broadland’s Fruit Farm outside of nearby Box. Gerald also sang praise for Black Rat but added various warnings including “… you’re brave to throw a cider party in your flat…”

house party + 26lts cider = mess

I got carried away and decided to make spaghetti Bolognese.

mess + spag bol = less mess

What with being in the middle of exam season and giving a purpose to the evening I added another theme of everyone playing a music track with introductory story.

less mess + music = chilled party

I invited my class and two neighbours. Twenty two or so turned up last night and had a good time by all accounts. Ellen’s cracking little camera’s ‘mix & match’ feature was a real giggle (and mildly disturbing). I quickly became the only wasted person which was a mild giggle (but really disturbing…). Oh rats, why did I have to make such a fool of myself?

The party was great and the cider disgustingly quaffable. Oh, I have to replace Mark’s boxer shorts after the atomic wedgie I gave him.
