It's leaving season


It seems everyone is leaving! Robin and John are off next week, as too are the Norwegian ladies... Carmen is in town for 3 nights only.

So the past week or so has been about saying goodbye and various leaving parties. Although it wasn't a leaving party, we went out last night with Stephen, Nicky, Robin and John. It was a fun night, although I felt a little worse for wear this morning. We started the night at Congo in Palermo... then we went to Bulnes Class, which really is a Saturday night place, so not so good. They had some weird fashion show on... a bit sad. Then we went to Angels! We danced a bit, then we danced some more. Trannies galore. It was fun, only home at 5 though!

The former mainly because I it reminds me of the UK government bailing out failing mortgage lender Northern Rock earlier in the year and the recent US...

In this city it seems that stores of a type seem to be located in the same area... all medical supplies in one place, all wool shops in one place and now these.
