Havana Happy Hour

I've been living in my flat in Battersea for the last 8 months and I love it! Its in a mixed housing development near the river and I was able to buy a share of my flat through a shared ownership scheme with a Housing Association. I'm keen to get to know my neighbours and make new friends. Although I've introduced myself to a few people I have realised that its all too easy just to get up, leave the flat to go to work, come home and not speak to anyone and days can go by without bumping into anyone at all. So, Hazel, one of my neighbours, and I have decided to have a little get together so that we can 'get to know our neighbours'. We've called it 'Havana Happy Hour' as we both liked the culture, cocktails and music of Cuba. We're holding it next Wednesday in my flat and we'll serve Mojitos, Cuba Libres, Havana Beans and Cuban Green Rice. We had great fun drawing and delivering the invitations. We've invited everyone in our block and a few people from another 3 blocks. The day after invites went out 16 people said they will come along!....I'm wondering how many I can fit in my lounge...or what the weight load limit is on my balcony!
