Going Retro

Sometimes the most fun you can have on a Friday night is going old school.

It all started on a random night in where most of us in the house thought how quirky and cool it would be to go to a roller disco.

So after a quick google we found a Roller Disco hall, and bonus, it was close to home.

Bad point, is that the place was closing down... ohh and Charlotte can't skate.

So we decided to give it a go the next week.

Friday rolled around (get it... rolled around.. roller skating... moving on), and the house started getting ready.  We had a couple of drinks but decided to not get smashed as alcohol and roller skating wasn't going to be the best combo.

So we headed to Vauxhall to get our retro on.

After the huge struggle of trying to find the place and deciding that because it was so impossible to find would be the only reason why the place was closing down, we finally found the place.

So we paid out entry fee (£12 skated included), and started noticing that we were very under dressed.  We lacked leg warmers, tutus and lycra which apparently was the uniform of the roller disco.

So we all sat down and put our skates on.  We must of looked nervous as a worker came over to us and taught us how to stand up without rolling away and pulled us over to the rink so we could get our skate on.

Turns out skating in a circle to uptown funk, shake it off and sing is the ideal way to spend a Friday night.

There were 2 rooms, one which was a professional room where if you could not skate up to standard, then the marshal would blow a whistle, point at you and shame you away back to the normal room.  No pressure!

I have to say that it was super refreshing to have a great Friday night and not have a sore head in the morning.  Just sore legs.

So even though that this roller disco is now closed *tear* I highly recommend to find one near you and just give it a go.

You might even surprise yourself and not fall over (like me.. BOO YEAH!)

Stranger Danger

Hello.

My Name is Sam and I'm a bad blogger.

I have plenty of "Reasons why I haven't done my homework" type of excuses however.

1. Life got in the way.  Sad to say that this is the biggest lie but I thought I would start with it cos hey lets start off with a lie.  I work weekends.  During the week, I have nothing to do.  If anything I should be blogging more.  Soz.

2. I was in a slump.  Very sad to say this is very true.  You know when no matter what you do, you just cannot motivate yourself?  Well I had that for a week.  It got so bad that I didn't even want to walk downstairs because my housemates were in the lounge and I didn't want to pretend to be happy, So I spent many a night dying of thirst.  I am not proud of myself but I am out of that funk so happy to announce that I have a tea sitting by me right now.  Yeah I'm such a semi-functional human being!

3. I was sick.  Also the truth.  I decided to pick up some cheeky overtime shifts at work to help with my slump.  Turns out that standing in the wind and rain for 8 hours was not what my body thought would be a good time and it struck me down.  I came home from work on Monday freezing cold.  Sat on my sofa shivering.  Decided to go to bed, put on my warmest pjs, put the heater on along with the raditor and snuggled under my duvet... shivered and shivered.  I woke up the next morning with what can only be explained as the fires of hell in my throat and no voice.  Today being my 1 week "omg I'm dying" anniversary, today is the first day I'm actually starting to sound like myself. Take that life!

But the overall reason is ... I just got lazy.

I'm Sorry.

But I'm making a comeback so watch this space!
