Oh City Gals... I think it's time we had a night out...

[AtheneNoctua]

You know who you are, but off the top of my head:

LegalAlien
Jura
Squiffy
Kewcumber

BecauseImWorthIt
MrsShadenFruende

And anyone else I have neglected to mention. If your name is not here and you want to join us, by all means add your name to the list in the usual copy and paste fashion and show up. Everyone is welcome.

So, I'm thinking Patara in South Ken because it's accessible to Waterloo, Victoria, tube, etc. But, if you bear the idea of Thai food, feel free to suggest somewhere else.

For dates, I'm thinking any Saturday in July apart from July 4th.

So, put your name down on dates you can make:

11 July
Athene Noctua

18 July
Athene Noctua

25 July
Athene Noctua

e-mail me, silly!

Am back from hols - looking forward to seeing what you're all like in RL. Can I ask - does the City Gals refer to your types of jobs, or the geographic location of your jobs? I'm not a highflying finance type ...

I certainly don't consider myself a highflying city type. I am a part time lawyer in a professional support role. There are a couple of bankers in the mix but I can vouch for their non-scariness, at least in a social context (I suspect high levels of scariness in the workplace)

Hello,

Thanks for invite AN. Count me in.

And you're a fellow kiwk, Legal, is that right? Your name suddenly makes sense ...

indeed I am. although I realised the other day that I haven't stepped foot in godzone for 10 years. which is a bit frightening. my accent is still going strong, though.

Some of us work in the City (I am not among them). Everyone is welcome. Don't let the name scare you off. We are all very nice people... usually.

You are more than welcome. Just put your name on the list and show up. Nothin' to it.

Jura

Jura, are you still in? I noticed your name dropped off.

Downstairs table booked for 8:00. I don't recall if discussed time. Is this okay for everyone?

8 is good for me, although I reserve the right to leave home in plenty of time and sit somewhere nearby with a book and a drink (my inlaws will be staying...)

I'll be there. What's the table booked under?

Just go downstairs. There is only one table downstairs. Or CAT me for my name.

Is everyone on the list still in?

yup

Does anyone know if Jura is coming?

yup, still in, and no, I don't know whether she is coming. looking forward to it (not least because my inlaws have been staying for three days already.....!)

Am still on for this.

Sorry, Peeps, but I will be on holiday. And less than six weeks after that I'm moving to Paris for fab new job, with Familie Schadenfreude following at half term - hopefully I will have found somewhere to live by then, and shortlisted some schools to look at!

Bit stressed, actually.

In other words, next outing PARIS! Yahoo! Shall we discuss dates?

Glad you are coming [smil;e]

Anyone in touch with Kiwikat?

in the spirit of kiwi solidarity have just CAT'd her.

Apologies in advance if I drink too much tomorrow. it has been a LONG week.

Looking forward to seeing you all tonight.
