Today was the day that had been arranged for a long time! Frances wanted to throw a house party, but not a house party because that sounds too daunting and scary, for Laszlo leaving and also testing out this house her Grandma had moved out of but still owns. She sold it but the couple that are buying it are moving in in the autumn. So it was empty and we found an awesome use for it! I got up at 9:25 first day of the summer holidays and found my brother watching tv, he left at quarter past 11 to pick up Mark! I thought he was gunna be late to give me a lift to Oakley Vets by quarter to 12. But he wasn't and I felt happy on a full tummy after two chocolate brioches and also because the music being played in his car made me smile.
So I got there on time and Frances wasn't there, she's never on time, so I texted her letting her know that I was on my way through Emmer Green Field towards her house on the magical orange path! We must have someone gone past eachother different ways because I ended up at her house and she was on the orange path! So we were later than Amber when she had to get the bus all the way down and Charley was already there. Frances had taking ages seeing as Amber had phoned her for ages preventing her from being able to wash her hair! We got to Iceland anyway and I was very embarassed that we were late. Frances said she wasn't though which is a bit weird, so I said, "Why not? I thought you were posh?" And she replied. "I'm not that posh! I don't wanna be posh anymore." So we met Amber and Charley while I contemplated this but I quickly forgot about this when the problem of what type of food we were going to choose arose. "Do you think we should get that one?" Just get it! I mean it's only about one pound, just bung it in the trolley! So I left to sit with Charley outside.
There was a homeless woman and her dog that Charley had noticed so she went up to the dog and stroked it. She wants to befriend all animals you see. My mum says touching strangers dogs is unsafe because they could be unclean or hold a disease. But, that's Charley for you, giving me a can of her fizzy drink and handing the woman her spare change. She has a big heart. I felt a bit guilty because I didn't want to approach the lady and her dog because I was frightened, so I made up some stupid excuse that I had to guard the bags. Once Charley had come back she waqs considering buying her some scotch eggs for the dog to eat aswell. But I said that she shouldn't be so caring and she replied that she wasn't caring enough!
Amber and Frances raided the money all I had in my wallet when I still had to catch the bus back home from Woodley where the party house was! Luckily, we didn't have to carry the vast amounts of carrier bags left, Frances' mum came to pick us up! So, we threw all the stuff in the boot and Charley went to walk home.
My house had a freezer so we pulled up there first and raided my house for anything else other than the stuff I'd already picked out! Once we were done we went back to Frances' and got stuff from there aswell! Our raid run was going well! We had even evaded Frances' dad because he didn't know about the party!
At Amber's, the last on our raid run, we got some more goodies! I also met her Grandma but didn't really talk to her as I was only in the house a minute and she was in the toilet!
All set, we were dropped off at the bungalow, or should I say venue for our party? It was the first time me and Amber had seen it and it was really nice! Frances' mum went into the town square leaving us with all the setting up information we needed!
We had transformed the old bungalow into a comfy sociable space! With our job done we had to go and shop in the town square for a few more bits and bobs. In Waitrose we bought some cups and plates but all I was doing was looking at a really nice looking guy! At the till I knew Amber could tell I was checking him out. But I have a boyfriend so I wouldn't have said anything to him. Plus my gaydar's rubbish! I'm getting better though! Frances' mum was behind us at the same till trying to by very discrete and hiding! But we found her and laughed!
After that, we got some very nice chips and sat in a wooden gazebo in the pouring rain! People are fascinating. We watched them and laughed for a while until we saw one of our History teachers.
The rain had died down a bit so we legged it through all the puddles and past the tidal waves of water from the passing cars until we reached the house. We then tried out some of the karaoke CD's and had a laugh until it was 5, then we decided to head off into the thunder storm in out soaking wet shoes to catch the bus. We braved it because it was going to take too long for the rain to die down. I wish we hadn't. Everywhere was flooding and the raindrops were so huge! I was glad when we sat down under the bus shelter! Nick phoned me and I couldn't hear him over the bus traffic! My mum had phoned me before that and like with Nick the phone kept hanging up in the middle of our conversation.
On the bus it was really loud and vibrated loads! We spoke about Kyle and him and Frances' relationship. I said I couldn't give her advise because she said that boys were just a waste of space. I found that offensive! In the rush hour traffic we waved and smiled at some lovely people in their cars! Like Mole Boy and the Happy and Cranky Woman! You do get some strange characters! Also, every other car had a smoker in it which even I found worrying. We waved and blow kissed our friends good bye when we reached our stop and left Amber to go home.
I got home very damp and wet and late for dinner. I spoke to Kial on the phone. Now I'm cosy and warm in dry clothes. Mum and dad are eating out tonight so Josh has his friends round. I'll write to you about the party tomorrow!
