After the housewarming party at 524 Blogland lane last night, a truck came around early this morning to collect the empty bottles . . . you can guess from the quantity of bottles involved how thirsty a crowd it was ! ! ! Although, if truth be told, certain visitors from New Zealand and Canada, not to mention any names, polished off enough for ten normal people !
.
(In fact, this photo is from a 1997 trip to Haiti. . . where it can get fairly hot, requiring serious efforts at emptying bottles to remain properly hydrated. . . )

Cheers...! Hic!
Oh. I guess that's why I don't remember having attended the party.
I have a gueule de bois!
Hello, just wanted to say how much I've enjoyed reading your posts and having a look around your website. You write really well and your photo's are great. Really cool. Thank you !
I just noticed all those bottles on the top as well. Save one for me... :-)
Hi Owen,
Could you please check? I think I am lying intoxicated in your castle's dungeon or is it a wine cellar?
For god sake, I wonder if they are already as efficient when it comes to share up the milk for the children (lol).
About you adventures in the human waste ocean, i knew of a Swedish guy lucky enough such as for enjoying a refreshing splash in a stinking filth like that, and he was not alone, follow this link:

Nice photo...(I don't think I could have handled a party like that.)
Owen - that looks to be quite the shindig you had there!
Great photo.
I'm still recouperating, Owen! Love the pic!
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha! LOL! Milk of Amnesia! So that was the minty chaser you were handing out in those gold-rimmed shot glasses. It's beginning to come back to me now...kind of a greaseful, queasy feeling...
Where happened to all MY empites then, that looks just like enough for Louciao.....
Last time I had real champange was more than a decade ago, New Year's Eve, in the middle of a forest, blankets, hot tea and a bottle French champagne.
Thank you for the memory returning.
Please have a nice start into the new week, with a much quiter house I assume.
CHEERS MATES!

Greetings from Sandy Eggo!
rats, that should be "empties"...grrr.
I didn't drink at your party and I still got all disoriented touring the castle. It's amazing how the noise from the crowd was completely cut off from parts of your pad.
Thanks again for your hospitality.
I think I might have made off with some of those bottles ... erm they weren't empty. Well, not when I got back to my hot air balloon which appears to be drifting and those bottles are indeed quite empty now, great party Owen. Smiles*!*
Hi Lydia, it's easy to get lost in there, we're working on a GPS device to hand out to houseguests so you'll be able to find your way around...
=========
Dear Saj, empites or empties, it's ok, I know it's hard to type straight after a night of hard partying ! As for where your empties went ? Don't you remember ? You kept tossing them down the wishing well, while mumbling something about "luggy sogs", couldn't quite make out what you were saying... ;-D
===========
Ahh Lynne, you are such a RIOT !!! Where do you come up with this stuff... greaseful queasy feeling... could almost be a hit song title !
=========
Hey Harry, next time can you come over to do the music ??? That would be great, and the Watercats can come too, we'll set up a stage in the big hall... ;-D
=========
Hi Robert, well, we'll have to get another truckload of full bottles in to replace these, and invite you over if it's been that long ! A great week to you too !
==========
Hi Bimbimbie ! Full bottles make great ballast for hot air balloons, but I hope you were able to descend again once they were all empty ! :-)
... landing was a little bumpy but empty bottles still in one piece ;)
Hi Owen, it's Caroline from 7984 - neighbour in Blogland Lane. Thanks for your visit to my blog. Darn it, how did I miss your party? Oh well, we'll just have to have a another on the beach soon - can you arrange this truck again?
Hi Caroline, I'll call them right away, they can usually deliver up to three truckloads of bottles on very short notice... :-D Sounds great, a beach party !
