Last night I as I was leaving the house all dolled-up to go to Pauline's birthday party imy son complimented me on how good I looked. He even jocked that if he did'nt know who I was and had met me somewhere he would have tried to chat me up. It really felt good. Since the party was in the country it was fun driving on deserted roads in the dark and the pelting rain.
When I arrived at their house Pauline and her SO Bernie said that wanted to introduce me to someone. I followed them to the conservatory where Sandra, Alice, Lolla and Linda were cosily sipping wine listening to the storm outside. Then I noticed somebody else with her back turned, it was Claire!, one of the other founder member of Friends of Eon, we hadn't seen or heard from for over 5 years. It was great to see her again and catch up. We had a great evening reminiscing about the past, the time we were stopped and searched by the Guardai outside the GPO, the Late Late Show, the Pat Kenny Show, the Summer House Show other members, how things and attitudes regarding TGism have changed over the last 25 years etc... The Craic was ninety, we had songs, stories and time just flew, suddenly it was 5am and the day was starting to break.
