Xperience 12
Oops I’ve been neglecting to write down my xperiences due to time restraints. Don’t judge. Believe me you don’t want me writing after a couple of drinks, especially the ones with the girls. And writing on my Blackberry and driving is illegal in this country.
So back to Thursday.
The last day of work for me before my 2 week holiday was most certainly also the longest ever. When 5 hit at last, I was invited to have drink with a few girlfriends at Bueno Vista in Green Point. Yeah, xperience for the day, I haven’t been to the new venue.
We got there and was quite amazed at how “busy” they were. Not so much people, but all the tables were reserved for later. We hassled a waiter to allow us to squat at a table until 7.
Lee* and I were halfway through our drinks when Sarah* whizzed in. She hardly had a sip of her wine before she gushed, “I have no freaken idea how this happened, but you will NEVER believe what I got!” Lee and I looked at her laughing and fumbling with her phone.
On she went to Lee and me, “You know Clare’s* ex-husband living in Hong Kong now? We’ve been chatting on Skype lately when suddenly he sends me this e-mail with a picture of himself. ”
She finds what she was looking for and passes the phone to Lee, by Lee’s face I had to see too. And right there was a full frontal nude photo of the dude…zoomed in, get my drift??
Both of us looked, giggled like catholic convent girls, handed the phone back to Sarah and asked it back again. We couldn’t wait for Michelle* to get there, we had to show her too!
Michelle hardly had a first sip of her wine when we shoved the pic in her face. She spluttered, swore and refused to look again, for the moment.
We ordered another bottle of wine, had a round of tequilas and got evicted from our table. By this time nothing was a challenge anymore, at our new table we shamelessly flirted with the new waiter, picked up an Argentinian who’s friends never pitched and Michelle even had another look at the photo.
It was one of those completely unexpected fabulous nights with some of the best girls around, thanks guys.
