It's Saturday night


Saturday night is party night so they tell me. Personally I think any night around here is party night. Despite spending most of the day at the beach and vacant movie lots I managed to find the energy to do a little partying. This particular party was held at Nick and Jackie's house. A very interesting English couple. They have built a monstrous house and filled it full of curiosities, much like the Adam's Family. The picture is of their outdoor rec room (pool table scrounged from the dump and we've discovered it's strong enough to hold at least 7 dancing people). They have 22 chihuahuas, 3 of them pregnant. Nick has been a set builder for various movies and is always building something. He has a square rigger sailboat that he's restoring but since moving it into position he has enlarged his dock so once the boat is completed he'll have to remove at least one piling to get it out of there. He salvaged a cannon from the Pirate movie and refitted it to shoot tennis balls at passing boats. (Photo: Gilly, Susan, me, Jennifer; Gilly's grandson Daniel far left)
