Boat Party

Tonight I went to a sort of house (boat) warming/going away party for a friend. He recently bought a sail boat and is moving onto the boat (actually did last weekend). This has been his dream/goal for a while - to own a boat by the time he's 30 and he's realizing his dream (he turned 29 last month). So our friend Catherine planned and threw a party for Neil in South London rather than where the boat is, Brighton - because that's too far away!!!! The party was fun, but not the same without Andy. It's strange going to events without him here - he's on a business trip to Seattle right now. I'm sad and jealous that I'm not there - we/I couldn't find someone to watch Midnight or I would be there right now too...but so it goes.
