Saturday 11th August

[myz_lilith]

I am still considering whether to hold a party next Saturday for my 30-and-a-half-th birthday (cos my actual thirtieth was a low key affair, and I really wanted to celebrate out in the open air, which isn't much fun in February) I kind of went off the idea when it looked like August would be solid rain, but now it's behaving again I'm back to wanting a garden party / BBQ. (Yes, I know that the weather will be changeable next week, and posting this will cause it to rain. Quiet you.)

So, please tell me:

1. Would you come?
2. Would you prefer a garden party or a picnic in Roundhay Park? (I don't mind, I just want to be outside...)
3. If it rains, would you come along to some kind of alternative borthday celebration (probably in a local pub, the house isn't very well set up for parties right now...)

My house (and alternative venues) are just a short bus ride from town, will put address and details on a friends only post if it looks like people are interested...

cant say for definate but could well be up for that

I have changed venues to York - mainly because we can still do sitting out in the sun stuff and even barbeque stuff if it's nice, but there are also pubs and indoor things to do if it pisses it down.

Might you still like to come? Will be planning to get across there for 1pm so we can have many hours bimbling around but still allow people plenty of time if they need to head off to evening stuff...

We might be able to offer a lift across if there's not many people coming but I want to give first reserve for car space to anyone coming in from far far away that may get confused by a simple train journey from Leeds to York ;-)

Feel free to grab mtyy monile number off Sarah if you don't already have it :-)

unfortunatly i've been roped in to family stuff, hope you have a good un with out me

otherwise engaged sorry :(

That's okay - am still hoping to make it down to visit you sometime, maybe with a trip out somewhere to take pictures, if you'd still like?

Will be September or later now, but that might work quite well as the light can be amazing at that time of year... Autumn used to be my favourite photography time for that very reason!

[felishumanus.livejournal.com]

possible, but my weekends seem to get busier by the minute :p

I could be tempted, would need crash space though if possible.

If you make it to Leeds for 11.30 or 12ish, we can get you to York - it's going to be a daytime thing so you can have the option of staying or heading back in the evening (We can sort out crash space for you if needed but it may literally be a space as everything is full of my crap at the minute, even my room - so you'd be welcome to stay if you can put up with that, and equally as welcome to run away!!! if you prefer :-)

1. Yes. ... Probably... i don't think i've got 'owt else planned for that weekend and it surely does sound like fun, but tbh, I don't actually know where your house is or anything (although sticksoldier does)...

2. I have no idea, whatever you choose is cool, I don't know Roundhay park, so I can't say whether it would be a better location than your own back garden or not.

3. Yep. Haven't been out for a drink in ages (stuck in Dorset with younger sibs and mother does that) sounds like fun.

:) - happy birthday and a half (perhaps that should be 'a very merry unbirthday to you'?)

Is it just you or might Sticks and Chrissie come too?

If you're heading across on a train from Manchester, then on most routes you just hang on for an extra stop after Leeds to get to York. We may be able to offer a lift from Leeds to York and back... if it's just you, or just a couple of you then definitely, 3 might be possible but we might have one in the car already... *head spins* Crash space may be problematic this time as my parents have just moved so my house is full of all the junk that used to be in my attic - I'm sure we can squeeze people in if needs be but it will literally be a squeeze, which is why I've made it a daytime thing so people do have the option of heading home later on if they want to get to somewhere they can sleep in comfort!

Feel free to grab my mobile number off Sticks if you don't already have it :-)

[plum177.livejournal.com]

eep!

Sorry, I want to come (really I do), but having checked, I actually do have stuff happening this w/e (grr!). Sticks and Chrissie have got their niece/nephew(s) (there are definitely plural, but I'm not sure whether boys, girls or one of each) and sticks has managed to get the day off and apparently we're all going to take them into Manchester.

I don't think I've got your mobile number, but I'll get it off sticks later (I think I'm going to see him this eve, but it depends if he turns up to the props meeting or not).

ttyl.

No prob - have a lovely day in Manchester and give Chrissie and Sticks my love!

Re: Party

[myz-lilith.livejournal.com]

It certainly would be a minor shock to have random new person show up out of the blue on the day... but it is lovely to have random new person commenting on my journal! ;-)

Hello! *waves* Pleased to meet you :-)

[sarah-orange.livejournal.com]

I could squeeze a bit in between squad training and substance!

no boozing though as I have to be up at 5-6am on sunday to go to glasgow.

We are in Edinburgh that weekend! We do seem to be criss-crossing the country and missing each other :-(

Are you going to be at Ladybird's wedding?

[vixmonsta.livejournal.com]

I will indeed be at the wedding - although i will be jet-lagged as I'll have just got back from Malaysia... you might need to keep prodding me :-)

Not in the North (for a change!), sorry!

[myz-lilith.livejournal.com]

That's okay, I know you are often in Southerly climes these days - hope everything is relatively back to normal after the flooding and have fun :-)

[niccuinn.livejournal.com]

I would most definitely come, and bring prezzies :)
I've never been to a proper "Garden Party", so I should quite prefer that setting.
And, yes, I'd still be willing to attend a rainy-day alternative birthday party :)

Unfortunately, all of the above is moot, since busses don't typically run from Texas to England. [frown]

I do like the idea of a summer birthday party to make up for a winter-y one. My oldest's birthday is right near Christmas, so we've talked about doing his party in the summer so he can have a pool party or something instead of having it overshadowed by Christmas all the time.
I wish you a very happy 30 1/2, and hope that your party is a fabulous success, rain or shine :)

[myz-lilith.livejournal.com]

It is a shame - it would be lovely to actually meet you... where are the hover buses we were promised This is the twenty-first centure after all!

I just wish the weather would make it's mind up - the trouble with even a summer party in the UK is that it can be as wet and miserable as winter, and if you plan in advance then there's no way of knowing what will happen... and if you don't everyone gets booked up elsewhere and the hover buses aren't invented on time ;-)

[sparklejess.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid I tend to be horribly antisocial, but I'll actually be in Herefordshire next Saturday. I hope you have a nice day.

That's okay - thank you, and I hope you have a wonderful time in Herefordshire as well :-)
