I can’t believe that January is almost over. This year it has gone quick, I normally find that January drags and is a long month. I suppose it has been filled with fun things and excitement.
My friends and I started off the Year by going into town in Hobo’s to their cheesy 80’s night; we thought this would be great and reminisced about the horrible 80’s style. We dressed up in our 80’s gear had a few drinks before hand and headed in. Good job we had a couple before we went out, the rest of the people there weren’t dressed up, either too miserable or too young to remember the 80’s. Still we didn’t care, ordered hideously bright coloured cocktails, demanded the 80’s music from the DJ and danced the night away. It was a really good night. Followed by a leap of faith at the end of the evening, I am still hoping this will pay off.
Ez and I also re-discovered a local to haunt, this is the Coach in Bridgend which is looking fab after its refurb and what a lovely place to have a pint or two, with Welsh Ales and Ciders. I would definitely recommend it.
The following week saw me hitting the Rummer in Cardiff with my work colleagues for one of their Birthdays. The Rummer is one of our favourite places to go for a drink; always a good atmosphere and you can always get to the bar, not to mention the good food there in the day. A good time was had by all as usual.
Then it was the wonderful Ez’s 30th Birthday and there was much rejoicing and celebrating. We started the day off wonderfully with a champagne breakfast, unfortunately something occurred and we managed to set fire to a couple of birthday cards. Luckily they were put out in time so you could still read the message inside and most of the card was still there. We then headed into Cardiff booked into our hotel and went and got some delightful cocktails and Cake in Milgi’s on City road. I would really recommend this place for it’s glorious cake (which they put a sparkler in Ez’s as I mentioned it was her birthday) and it’s fantastic cocktails.
The time went all too quickly and we met up with the others for a gorgeous meal in Henry’s, the service was good, the drinks flowed nicely and the food as always was gorgeous. I don’t think anyone had a complaint. I had also organised party bags for everyone with balloon animals, lip gloss, roller stamps, jumping frogs and a Disney princess ring in it. Ez’s had the bonus of a little tiara. We went from here to our favourite haunt of Gwdihiw’s and then on to Café Jazz, before collapsing in the hotel.
The next day we had a lovely continental breakfast, a lovely spot of window shopping followed by lunch in Tiger Tiger. We were pooped, but in good spirits. We decided to go to the cinema and watch the Artist which I have to say was wonderful and it was filmed really well. It was lovely to hear everyone laughing in the cinema, and the ending was superb.
That’s it really for my busy January; a couple of meals out this week with friends and a catch up, it has been a great start to 2012, let’s hope it continues.
