Tijd voor een feestje

We are in a very celebratory mood here at Dolores Delargo Towers:

• It is the weekend, and, as always that is cause for joy in itself - especially since I will not be back in the benighted office for a fortnight!
• My friend Paul has, as a birthday treat, obtained tickets for he and I to go to the much-vaunted David Bowie Prom at the Royal Albert Hall tonight!
• It's my dear sister's 50th birthday party tomorrow in the swanky function room of a pub on Fleet Street in the City of London, and the "gathering of the clans" is afoot...
• And we (Madam Arcati, Baby Steve and Houseboy Alex) are not only going to Amsterdam next weekend but (as, shamefully, none of us had realised before booking the dates) it is also Amsterdam Gay Pride (with all the on-and-off-canal mayhem that entails)!!!

By way of drawing at least a couple of bits of this together to mark an utterly splendid day, here's Holland's finest Queen of Disco herself, Miss Anita Meyer:

Dank disco is het vrijdag!
