Happy Canada Day!!!

Oh boy oh boy oh boy. Happy Canada Day (one day late). I really couldn't talk about Canada Day until after the fact cause we had a freakin great party at my South London pad to celebrate the big day. Now we wanted to have the best Canada day party ever so we did a little planning, a little decorating and a whole lot of inviting. Here is my photo montage of the grand event:
PREPARATIONS
Just in case people forgot where the party was, Reisha and I thought we'd put up a tiny flag (care of Alice).	Not only is this a lovely fireplace, but it's a pure Canadian one (if you buy now, it comes with it's very own giant bottle of maple syrup as seen on the table)
The sign is of my own creation. You can never have too many Canadian flags on Canada day!	Here's me practising my "kiss-the-Canadian" face for later that evening. Unfortunately i didn't get to use it...
THE PARTY!
As we have downstairs neighbours, we didn't want anyone not to know where the most happening party was at.	As we are gracious hosts, we decided to invite our entire street! Some even showed up with their invites. Maybe we should've charged at the door.
This is one of our neighbours. We made sure to greet everyone to make sure they felt welcome even though I promptly forgot most of their names. I'm like that no matter how hard I try. It's a fact. That's why I call everyone dude.	Here is a group of Finish neighbours from down the road with two of my friends. One of them lived in Montreal for 8 years. It's a Canadian connection on our very own street. That's why they came.
This is Kurt (with me and Lindsay). He is Canadian just like the shirt he was forced to wear says.	In case you can't read it, Ange's shirt says: "I may not be perfect but I'm Canadian and that's close enough." Yep, we're a modest bunch
So the party went into the wee hours of the morning and much Canadian fun was had (7 Canadians were present and accounted for. Not bad for a party in London). 3 groups of neighbours came to our humble aboad. I think it shocked them that they were actually invited to a random house party (we had a couple of reconosence missions to make sure we were genuine...thankfully we passed that test!). These kind of things just aren't done in London. I'm glad they weren't crazy either. My Cambridge mates stayed over night for a little sleep-over party (PJs and everything) and so this morning it was all about the Sunrise cafe. For those of you in Canada who have never had a day-after-the-party fry up, you don't know what you're missing. Mostly it's meat (veggie sausages for me!), eggs (except...I don't eat eggs...), chips, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans. Mmmm. Beans. To end off my photo montage, here's me and Ange: Not to say we aren't beautiful, but those faces say - "Wow! What a party!" So how was your Canada day?
