Blame in on the Pilgrams!

It seems the great hh pub tour has experienced an unscheduled delay. I mean I did go visit a few pubs over the last few days, the problem is my visits were fraught with distraction.

Thursday night we went to the Royal in Paddington with work colleagues. Of course we went directly upstairs to the quiet-like restaurant. Zilcho action. Did bring back memories though, I once ended up dating my waiter after a meal at the Royal. Oh, the days of my hot 20s.

Friday night work again called and I was off to the Zeta Bar for a function. I did later wander on down to the Ivy to catch up with friends. But the Zeta/Ivy combo is totally against the pub tour theory so I wisely took off early to conserve my energy.

Saturday night, was the big one. Headed to Bondi to hit the Beach Road with one of my besties. First up though, we popped in to her neighbour's house for a quick drink. Quick drink? Actually not so quick, in fact a drink was soon cocktails, dinner and more. To be fair was having a blast and I lost all interest in heading out. At 10.30pm I finally got my arse in to gear, and made the Beach Road only to find it totally devoid of men, actually fairly devoid people in general. As I said, blame it on the pilgrams.

Finally, yesterday I met friends for lunch at the Lord Dudley. What began as a low key lunch continued well in to the afternoon. I had plans up my sleeve for my first date with Blue Eyes. As it went, he ended up coming to the LD to meet me (and my mates). Sparks didn't fly but I attempted to build a connection, I mean the HH is about persistence. But by 10pm I hit the wall. I left Blue Eyes in the capable hands of my friends.

Then a new twist of events today, ole bloody Blue Eyes only wrote to ask me for my friends phone number. I mean the cheek of the man!

So here we are. I honestly don't feel I gave the pub tour much of a chance this week. In fact have been down right slack.

Which is why I am opting to delay kick off. I'm calling last weekend a furphy. The pub tour will officially recommence and run for the full four weeks starting now. And no distractions this time, you pilgrams ok?!
