A Dream of Dark And Troubling Things - 15.12.2017

So, that's the 49th nail in the coffin securely hammered home, with the hope that if and when the 50th arrives, I'll be in another country far far away!! Regardless, the time is now, and birthday & Xmas stuff needs doing, so what better excuse do you need for a night down the pub! And with special occasions, I fancied making a bit more of an effort, even with being knackered from the NMA concert the previous night, and pulled out one of my old Coven lights and smoke machine for a bit more atmos. Only problem at the time was, in my haste, I'd forgotten my allen keys for the stand for the light, so the first thanks goes to "Jenni the techie" to save the day for the lend.

Anyway, it wasn't long before the night was underway, with dancing pretty much kicking off immediately, regardless that most of my friendly support had decided to take root sitting on the dancefloor! (Remind me to move the chairs and tables for next weeks adventures!) So with balloons blown up, away we went, and although the majority of 'interested' from the Facebook event page not showing up, luckily the pub had a great and friendly crowd, all happy with my pre-selected music for the night, making the dancefloor busy all night and adding to my excitement for next Fridays Xmas 80s bash!

There are definitely some gaps in my memory from the night, with even re-reading the set-list not jogging any memories, but I do remember being up dancing quite often, and remembering to take all my equipment home come finish, even if some of it sat outside the house all night until discovered the next afternoon!!

So thank you to all that showed up and wished me a happy birthday in person, the cards and the drinks that I was lucky to receive, and to Barbara for the lift home with all the gear. See you next week to do it all again!
