The weekend began well

The weekend is finally here, its usually spent hanging out with friends, brunches, lunches, dinners, fun and sometimes exercise (HASH variety). For the uninitiated HASH or the Hash House Harriers is a group that exsits all over the world, basically for walks, runs, drinking and merry making. Last week was my first and till now only Kabul HASH walk (my main motivation for going inspite of the horror stories i have heard about the chavinism that exists in the group). more on that if I go next.
Back to this weekend. It started with a house warming party of Johnny (our security advisor) and Peter (our vocational training project manager)home. The boys had done a great job doing the place up and it had a pub/lounge feel to it. The usual suspects of girls hung out there with some interesting experiences. it started with three of us going into the kitchen to find a place to eat, as all the other space was taken. When an interesting young man took in his own words the first bold step of saying hi to us. As he himself said he was looking to score (which is so common in the kabul party scene that we girls have taken to safety in numbers). He in his highly inebriated state provided some light enterainment for us, after that exchange, he will probably not even been bold enough next time to make the first move by saying Hi. Though he did seem to indicate that in his usual state of inebriation he doesnt care even if he gets a kick in the A**.

From there the three of us moved over to lydia's house, which is next door. where we continued for a while.

Then dawned Jumma morning, the day when its permissable to sleep in :). I had two brunch options and was woken up by manadana's call at 11 asking me where the hell i was (politely). Spent the early part of the afternoon with her, Martina and a few other at flower street Cafe, its seems girls only time is the only thing i am capable of these days.

The afternoon was spent wandering around the shops of chicken street with Lydia and for a brief bit with vasu. I have been haunted by this baluchi carpet for six months, finally gave in and bought it. Made my year!

The day ended with the Jugharoo's (vasu, terry and me) having dinner with a few friends at my place. a lovely evening with some inspiring and entertaining people(terry had a story for everything)
