no photos - did not take my camera to the hall. For the first time in years I did not take a handbag, no purse, no mobile, on our night out. we took several pairs of spare shoes, and a spare warm top, but none of the usual stuff. We had a brilliant night. we were entertained till the last dance at 8am.

we had supper with two special polis men, armed to the teeth and dangerous. we considered strip searchin them for hancuffs, but stopped in the nick of time...

and the transvestites were out in force, stockings, false boobs, the lot. such fun!

I had the last dance with a cat, he had very dangerous whiskers, I and any folk birlin nearly were in danger of being stabbed by them. FC: how does one manage ones whiskers?

my mum says Up Helly Aa is all about equality (never refuse a guiser a dance and all that) so she was quite taken aback when I told her about us being ousted from our seats by an English couple (soothmoothers). We had been standing for ages wathching the acts when we decided to dip ourselves in some vacant seats. Up comes the couple who had been away having supper. "those are our seats" I thought for a moment about pretending to be deaf, or foreign, but we slowly rose and left. my friend was very indignant - "do they expect us to stand?" she asked "did they pay more for their tickets than us?" and we wished we had had courage to say "we didn't realise you had your names on these seats". what a cheek to be told to leave our seats - after all the seats in the row behind were empty!!

when I told my mum, she was horrified, when I got to the bit about being english she said "Ah."

it just goes to show how different people are.
