It was my friends birthday yesterday and lots of us went out for a meal and some drinks. We went to Tai Wu – almost seems like tradition to have a birthday meal there!! We had a lovely meal including lobster – mmmmmmmm. Afterwards most of us went to the bar Obsidian. It was the birthday girls idea and her thinking was to go somewhere I bit more expensive so she wouldnt get drunk – that didnt work out for her! I only had a couple drinks. One was a cocktail called Basil and Honey Martini. Tasted very nice – couldnt realy taste the alcohol. However it did take ages to make the drinks in general. Especially the more “pretty” drinks which he drew a pattern of a flower in it. I think that particular drink was called Red Gorgeous. I had a little taste of someones and it tasted abit like milkshake and abit like melted ice cream!!
The birthday girl ended up getting quite drunk as ppl bought her drinks and she also had some special shots drink which the bar-staff set on fire as she drank. I know it had sambuca in it but not sure what else. I took a few photos which may appear on the usual places soon – Facebook / Flickr.
Today I met up with some friends and we watched the Manchester Pride parade. I have lived in Manchester for several years but this is the first time I have checked out the parade. I have always been away. The parade was OK – I think it lasted for about an hour or so. It did get abit “same-y” after a while though. The rest of the day we checked out the shops, some ppl came back to my place and we watched some Olympics and then we all went to Pizza Hut.
