Met Vijay, Leon and Brian at Canterbury West Station and we boarded the late 18:59 train to Ashford. It seemed to take forever to get there! Anyway, we finally arrived and met up with another of Leon's workmates, Vic, and we made our way into town and to a bar called Three Zero, where Natalie joined us a little later on...

Leon mentioned that he'd bought some Aussie Bums and was keen to show me them... Looks like they've launched a few new things so I'll have to check out the website again.

I asked the girls what they thought about this fashion of wearing really high belts and they decided to have a go themselves, just so we knew what we were all talking about...

They had some kind of happy hour on until 10 o'clock where cocktails were on a two-for-one offer so we stayed in Three Zero for the first part of the evening and finally met up with the girl whose leaving party it was in another bar a bit later.

Leon and I made our way to Liquid and the other guys joined us later.

Early Bird tickets have just being released for Lounge on the Farm, to be held just outside Canterbury at Merton Farm on 11, 12, 13 July. The line-up is quite sparse at the moment but it'll definitely pick up in the next few months...

I missed it last year but I'm definitely gonna make it in 2008!

Well, it's the last day of work now before the Easter break and I fully intend getting on the 3 o'clock bus out of here. That does mean I have lots to do before I leave so I'll probably have to skip lunch.

If all goes to plan the long weekend should begin with a night out in Ashford this evening. I haven't been out there since I was in my teens so it'll be interesting to see if I recognise anything or anyone. The plan is to end up at Liquid nightclub which used to be called Flatfoot Sams and Cales many years ago. Leon assures me that it's quite fun on Thursday nights.

I have been tasked with cooking some soup for the family so I'll slot that in somewhere on Friday. Gonna go for a Tuscan recipe from the BBC Food website that I've had a go at before - turned out really nice last time.

In addition, there should be some Rock Band action on Saturday. Gav is bringing his guitar down so we should be able to play with a full set of instruments in a classic band arrangement: Lead guitar, Bass guitar, Drums, Lead Vocal. The songs that I'm really into at the moment from Rock Band are:

Orange Crush - REM
The Hand That Feeds - Nine Inch Nails
Wanted Dead or Alive - Bon Jovi
Say It Ain't So - Weezer
Here it Goes Again - OK Go
Dani California - Red Hot Chilli Peppers

Finally, I can think of no better way to spend a slightly hungover Sunday morning than with a nice cup of tea, marmite on heavily buttered toasted muffins and the next four installments of Lost: Series Two.

And even then, there's a whole Monday to do stuff as well!
