Diamonds on the Soles of her Shoes

And there we were. Excellent mate's 50th, total lack of responsibility all around, a lot of booze occuring. My recipe for staying power was plenty of prosecco in the pre-party, then when we got to the room nothing except alcohol-free hydration. This meant I could keep going until 1, but even with added virtue power, no way could I stay on with the clubbers, who only disbanded at 6. Looking at the faces of long missed friends, laughing but listening too. I know we all have our problems but it became clear how for so many these last few years have been harsh times, personal wars of attrition. People are climbing out though; there was great cake and four DJs who played blinding sets; haven't seen this much leather and velvet in years as everybody got the hell up and danced.

Likewise❤️❤️❤️ . I wish you had been there - I've never seen you dance!

Coming to this without having read recent earlier posts, so I don't know the context, but I really feel the mood. Glad everyone was up and dancing <3

There's been bereavement, divorce, sickness, redundancies, job losses, and in one case, a great opportunity for someone which also holds a very serious drawback. I feel for my friends, we all seem to have so much going on. So mood and music means a lot, embracing the party as the dark draws in. Thank you for feeling it!
