What a great feeling, knowing my friends were finally coming down to Portsmouth to visit. After 6 months of me driving up and down the country it was nice to know I didn't have to go anywhere but my front door! So on Saturday Helen, Dina, Jamie & Colin all arrived at mine about lunchtime. After a tour of the penthouse! it was down to GunWharf for lunch and a spot of shopping. We were told the Red Arrows were going to be flying overhead in an air display and got back to the ro
of terrace in time. Unfortunately they weren't doing a show! Misinformed. Oh well, we fired up the BBQ and a few more people dropped round, Lee, Jim, Elenor, Greta & Holly. It was a perfect night to be outside and we had HEAPS of food. After a few hours it was time to hit the night life. Ofcourse I took the guys to Babylon, the nineties club. Lots of fun, dancing and a few old school memories and it was time to head back to the pad for some guitar hero! It was funny watching the boys as it was there first time. Luckily I'd had 6 months of practise so looked like a total pro.
Sunday we got up to a day full of sunshine! Ofcourse as soon as I walked into the lounge the boys had already turned on guitar hero. So a morning of playing guitar hero and eating french toast & bacon began. Mila showed up at about 11ish which was great and we all headed down to the historic dockyard. I hadn't actually realised it was "Meet Your Navy" weekend! What a huge bonus. We all went on the Victory but then most had to head 
off home. So Colin, Elenor & I head back into the fray. We went aboard the HMS Illustrious, which I think was an aircraft carrier. Also managed to blag our way into a sealed off bit to have our pic taken in front of a rescue helicopter! Very exciting except as we walked away, I flicked the view on the screen back to see how it turned out 
and it hadn't worked!! Was going to go back and ask him to take another but figured it was a bit cheeky! Oh well we know we were VIP's for a minute or two. After that friggit (and me humming the theme tune to Top Gun for the past 2 hrs) we headed thru the crowds looking at all the displays and people dressed up in character. We made it
to the Warrior at about 3ish and had a look around her. A bit boring after the Victory and Illustrious.
