Burning Man
Tonight, nearby Kidderminster pub, the Wren’s Nest, held a fundraiser for victims of the flooding across England this Summer, complete with a raffle, live music, a bike show, fireworks and the ritual burning of a wicker man at the end of the night to cries of “BURN ‘IM!!” 
We used it as a flimsy excuse for a farewell knees-up and invited several of our friends from around the country. I felt a little cheated that my buddy, Pokemeister, bought the best raffle ticket, but it didn’t win him any prizes. We all drank a little too much, except Pokey’s other half, who had way more tequila than she could handle and after redecorating our bedroom with her lunch, and a couple of hours on the big white telephone to God (Bleargh! Oh… Gad!!) spent the next 24 hours feeling incredibly delicate.
