The past few days summarised…

Thursday night was the office Christmas party. Got drunk but not overly so. Danced a lot, took many, many photographs but none of lesbian encounters as was set out as the annual photography mission. Previous very successful yearly missions included ’snogging girls with wax lips from a Christmas cracker’ and ‘Pictures of girls arses’.

The failed lesbian photo mission was probably too ambitious to be honest and a replacement ‘Girls calves’ mission was apparently successful, but I have yet to see the evidence. Mmm, girls calves. Not my idea, but I can see the attraction. I wonder if this is how fetishes start?

Next night, I had tickets to see Plaid but ended up pulling out at the last minute. It was down to a slow-developing hangover from the night before thanks to staying up until 3am at a colleagues flat drinking whiskey.

Met the missus for a Chinese meal before Plaid and felt sick by the end of it so decided to go home. The meal was pretty crap (Jade Garden on Sauchiehall Street) - a sub-standard chicken satay which came with beef by mistake. It took so long to get that that we didn’t bother sending it back. And it was undercooked. And they took ages bringing the bill, which is one of my pet hates.

Anyway, during the meal we had a serious discussion about our dwindling social life, pondering wether giving the dog away would help any. We decided that it would but we couldn’t get rid of her. Kinda ironic then that I decided to go home instead of staying out for what was apparently a really good night.

Note to self: drink more.

Saturday was a write-off, but we did at least completely gut-out the house in preparation for Christmas visitors. In my eyes, that’s a write-off.

Last night was spent at my parents for dinner with my Aunt, Uncle and two cousins. Presents were exchanged from grown-ups to kids but since I’m now 27 it felt odd not giving the grown-ups something back. But who am I to break with tradition?

Dad’s off work and actually asked to look after the dog for a week because he enjoys going for walks. We hastily agreed and scarpered before he realised just how cold it was outside. We’ll see if our social life changes any but what with it being Christmas I don’t think it’s a fair test.

Think that’s me up to date now.
