brief encounter
On Friday in Joe Allen’s* Exeter St. restaurant Mrs. Pouncer partook of some Chardonnay, Scarlet Blue imbibed some Mules and I took a small Boddingtons or four.
I can unreservedly, with miss spellings and split infinitives, confirm that Mrs. Pouncer is in person everybit the stylish counsellor that her entertaining blog suggests. During our brief encounter I discovered the true extent of my lack of knowledge of advance eyewear handling techniques. Mrs. Pouncer arrived at Joe Allens equipped with both fabulous stories and the four sets of eyewear necessary to fulfill all advanced eyewear handling techniques. Needless to say I learned a thing or three.
I can also confirm that Ms Scarlet Blue’s hair was of a certain colour and that meeting her has brought new dimensions to my understanding of the word ‘cute’.
* no relation of Mrs. Pouncer’s acquaintance Keith Allen, father of Lily Allen.

Good God, was I drinking Chardonnay through a STRAW?

Mrs. P., the straw as an option you wisely declined

There is nothing better than the combination of good wine, beer, chease
and friends to enjoy an evening of great conversation.
Here’s to tonite!

Worrying I took the straw option and it occasionally went up my nose… but I don’t think you noticed…

What I was wondering was how on earth you all managed to ever meet up when two of your (Mrs Pouncer and Ms Scarlet) do not even have contact email info on their blog profiles …?
Did you all know each other before you started blogging (or before Mrs Pouncer and Scarlet started blogging this year?).
P.S. Yes my own blog (and the link to it) is dead and defunct now but I may start a new blog in another few months (or years!).

No, Shan, we didn’t, but I contacted Wendy, and then it all took off from there, I’m afraid, and a very silly, noisy, childish gathering it was, too. (Only me)>
