It's good to have a day off, especially after the last two days of double shift work. Friday there was a very large lunch crowd coming in that got even busier as the day progressed due to it being Friday. Mainly a suit/work crowd. There was a farewell function on upstairs to that night. Whoever put it on had a tab running behind the bar, free drinks meant everyone got messy and clocked up well over a grand. Not to nitpick, but the type of crowd that was present (business suit and tie types) meant there were a few dickheads about. When it's busy this can get annoying at times. Was exhausted come midnight.

Saturday was even bigger. Another double shift with a 10:30am start. Three games of Rugby on with all Three Antipodean teams playing in seperate games. With a large Kiwi crowd always present at our pub, come midday you couldn't move inside. It was busiest early on. Despite working my arse off it was actually pretty fun and I enjoyed the day immensly. A good friendly crowd that got right into the game and the atmosphere. We were supposed to replay the Aussie game afterwards but our video machine messed up. The South African game later on that came only after the leage game involving the Kiwi's and the Pom's. The Staff and locals stayed on after closing up at 11:30pm and I didn't get to sleep till almost five I think. Knocked back a few bundy's then drunk upstairs with Anton and Rowan. All the Kiwi lads did the Hucka for us all which was amuzing...

Today I relaxed. Did washing, shopped and slept. Went for a walk before along the Thames near the pub. An Aussie guy was busking by the river with his electric guitar. Heavy on the reverb and delay it created a perfect mood that echoed through the air. He sung some great tunes. I walked along the river, listening, taking in the veiws and being content. Then I walked through the park and back home to the Camel. Yep, life is good! Ok better get off of here, using the boss's computer down in the cellar.....
