Happy Picnic!

Yesterday was Adelaide's annual "Picnic in the Park", a gay & lesbian event where we go to a park en-masse and drink, basically. Well, and sit on picnic blankets, parade our new partners in front of our ex boyfriends, get drunk, laugh at the lube-wrestling, and have a good perve. All fun, really. It starts at midday, so this year I decided to have a champagne and chicken breakfast to get everyone rearing to go by 12. It worked. We were all quite tipsy, lots of fun, really. I had to convince my lovely housemate to drive me to the bottle shop so I could pick up another 4 bottles of champers. All together I think we went through 7 bottles of a lovely Asti, 2 bottles of Croser, 1 bottle of Bollinger, and about 4 other bottles of mixed quality that friends turned up with. We were all quite merry, really. People just sat around my lounge room, listened to music, picked at the chicken salad, and got drunk. As other people's friends turned up at the picnic, they'd go across to the park (just across the road from my house, quite handy really), and eventually we were all over there.

Picnic is a great event, 'cos you see people you haven't really seen since the last picnic. It's a lot of "oh hi, how are you, nice cute boy you've got there, we really must catch up, oh gotta go there's such-and-such" and running off to air-kiss the next person.

Ok, it's not quite like that. But to a certain extent it is.. hehe.. I was quite a fabulous sight this year - wandering around with a plastic martini glass and a bottle of Bollinger in my other hand. Fabulous.

My good friend and his not-quite-boyfriend-since-they-broke-up-and-they're-almost-back-together had a big argument whilst both were drunk, and I had to go down to arbitrate that for a bit, but other than that it went smoothly for myself and my friends. My boyfriend had some old(er) guy come up to him and say "has anyone told you how cute you are?" (which is like -7 points for trying, what a line, eh?) and he replied "my mum tells me all the time, gotta go, bye!". He's quite proud of himself. Rightly so.. *grin*

So yeah - was a really good day. Afterwards Craig and I wandered home, rested for a bit, ordered pizza and watched bad movies on TV. A really nice weekend, overall! :)
