My biggest thrill today'll be hoovering the bar to earn my three pounds' pocket money. Mam says I'm still too young to go to London without an adult so Stella took Ali Jessop instead. My best friend Stella's gone to London to hunt for secondhand clothes at Camden Market. Men hate it when women act jealous, so I pretend not to be. I get dressed, finding each love bite and wishing I could go to Vinny's tonight, but he's meeting a bunch of mates in Dover. If he goes back next year, he's taking me. His mate Dan was on security and got Vinny backstage after the gig, and he hung out with David Byrne and the band.

Vinny's been to New York and actually saw Talking Heads, live. I like "Heaven" and "Memories Can't Wait" but there's not a weak track on it. Vinny bought me this LP, the second Saturday we met at Magic Bus Records. Talking Heads' Fear of Music is on my record player, so I lower the stylus. Suppose she's found out? says a twisted voice. No one else'd dare slam a door like that. Come September, when I turn sixteen, he'll take me out on his Norton. He'll be riding his Norton to work in Rochester right now, in his leather jacket with LED ZEP spelled out in silver studs. Wish they'd invent phones you can speak to anyone anywhere anytime on. Still, boyfriends act goofy to hide stuff, any magazine'll tell you. Last night, the words just said themselves, "Christ, I really love you, Vin," and Vinny puffed out a cloud of smoke and did this Prince Charles voice, "One must say, one's frightfully partial to spending time with you too, Holly Sykes," and I nearly weed myself laughing, though I was a bit narked he didn't say "I love you too" back.

I love my job with Carisma and wouldn't trade it.I fling open my bedroom curtains, and there's the thirsty sky and the wide river full of ships and boats and stuff, but I'm already thinking of Vinny's chocolaty eyes, shampoo down Vinny's back, beads of sweat on Vinny's shoulders, and Vinny's sly laugh, and by now my heart's going mental and, God, I wish I was waking up at Vinny's place in Peacock Street and not in my own stupid bedroom.
#THE BONE CLOCKX HOW TO#
As a new waitress, I'm always learning new things, where the spoons go, how to make the guacamole, the words to the Spanish songs I listen to for hours. Pretty eventful, pretty fun, and a total learning experience.

As they were packing their leftovers and leftover drinks, the birthday girl called me and the other waiter over, "Take a shot with us?" Of course we did, Feliz Cumpleaños! This large party ended up being my table and didn't leave until after we closed. Our restaurant id BYOB, and they definitely brought their own. Right when it was about to slow down, we had a table of 8 women come in for a birthday. One woman sent her steak back three times before she decided that she just didn't want steak. Kids were asking for their chicken nuggets, couples were glancing toward the kitchen with impatient stares, large parties were going through complimentary tortilla chips like there was no tomorrow.

In addition to being a great way to have fun on a Saturday, they will also help expand your children's horizons.
#THE BONE CLOCKX FREE#
These events usually offer free concerts, games and other activities. Whether you live in a small town or a large city, it should not be too hard to find a fun event in your area. If you do not have any board games in the house, then you will be able to pick up a few cheap ones at the department store. Since kids these days spend most of their free time on their phone, this is the perfect way to teach them about the games you played as a child. Playing board games in the living room is the perfect Saturday activity if the weather is not cooperating or if everyone is too tired to go out. All of this fun can be had without spending a dollar. The open space is also the perfect place to play a game of catch or sit down for a quiet picnic. The kids will have a blast at the playground. If you want to enjoy the beautiful weather away from the pool, then you absolutely need to take the family to the local park. If your hometown does not have its own pool, then it should only cost a few dollars to visit a pool in a neighboring town. The best thing about these pools is that they are often free for local citizens. Almost everyone in the country lives within a short driving distance of a community swimming pool. There is no way to beat the heat of a hot day than by swimming.
