Those of us without jobs to go to on Saturday (Stacey and I) totally over slept, so it wasn't much of a surprise that we were still working on the bar until about 6pm that evening.

I say we, but I mostly mean Stacey, all I did was nail in the panelling and file down a few corners so that the foot rest planks met at better angles. The party was a great success and everyone loved the bar, I'm sure this is going to become the party house for this group of friends.

It still hasn't got a name yet. I'm thinking The Bar That Stacey Built which is a bit long or The Basement bar, suggestions are welcome. I have my first experience with Toffee Apples (apple schnapps and toffee liqueur) and with Beer Pong (video 3.5mb) which is all about throwing ping pong balls into those big plastic cups that seem to feature in just about every teen-movie party.

   Due to the excesses and shortages of the night before I spent most of Sunday lying down and suffering from really bad stomach pains, which meant I only ate two pieces of toast and an apple. I'm feeling a lot better today and Stacey and I are going to drop in at Brie's restaurant for lunch, mmmmm lunch.

   Oh yeah, I went to see Mike's indoor-soccer game yesterday. They're pretty good for people who haven't played for years, and had to draft in two basketball players at the last minute to get enough people on the team.
