ok, today has been a long one! had a bit of a scare earlier when i went to call for allen to take him to the cello recital at search and care this afternoon. i had called him this morning and he said that he would love to go, so i said that i would call for him at 2pm and take him over the road to the recital.
so i go to call for him at 2pm and there's no answer... the doorman calls him but there's no answer so i go up to his apartment and ring, knock and call... no answer... i stay there for a good 5-10 minutes and nothing is happening... so i start to worry and i call the office. i go back to the doorman and he still can't get through. so the staff in the apartment block decide to open his door - this is quite a big deal...
so, 3 people get into his apartment and, of course, he's asleep! i was so worried and he is a bit cross that the head of the apartment block has been inside his apartment! i try to explain that we were all worried but that doesn't placate him... so i suggest we go over to the recital, and he's keen so we take a walk over there and it's fantastic!
the cellist is a friend of guy who works at search and care and she is just amazing:
i've never heard a solo cellist before and she really was fantastic. she played 3 pieces by bach - and everybody, including me, really loved it. then there was soda and cookies and then i escorted allen home which was good as he was pretty tired by then. we had a short chat about some of his paintings - he's amazing (he has some glass sculptures in the city in london).
i got back to the office in time to go home - but i was absolutely shattered! walked part of the way home with robin - she always makes me feel better about my day! do you think if i'm a good girl for the whole time she'll adopt me?
when i got home i did the washing up and went to the supermarket as helen and emilie were coming round for pizza - we got an enormous pizza, i made some salad and we got some cold beer and went and sat in the garden - we took my mac with my itunes on and it was lovely! i've been trying to persuade everyone to come and see eli paperboy reed with me cos he's fab - so i played his album and they wanna go to the gig! yippee! i also persuaded them to come along to the free gig that sharon jones and the dap kings are doing in brooklyn in a couple of weeks... all good! now i just need to find someone to come and see the black keys with me... but no-one knows them... looks like i'll be going on my own...
still a bit drunk... off to bed!
