Sober Christmas Lunch.. :-(

[gness]

After the mixup over the day I was ready and eager this morning to meet the old colleagues for lunch...a show....pressies and gossip.....
I waited for the taxi...and waited...and waited....gave up and got the car out.....so no boozy lunch for me...
The entrance barrier into the park was stuck....more waiting.....then nowhere to park other than on the churned up mud......In these shoes!!!!
I remained cheery even when I splodged out of the car and dropped my bag in the mud....

The table was lovely...the staff great....food okay.....show......oh dear.....I wanted to chew a chunk out of the table.....especially when I thought they'd finished but it was just the tea and cake interval and there was more to come.....

If we had known who the hell Knocking Dave Edmunds was we'd have won the quiz......and why choose today to close all but one of the ladies loos?
In order to get all the ladies peed, preened and back to their tables the interval would have to be extended.....
I came home....(there is only so long one can wait for a hundred or so elderly ladies to wee).......after getting someone to open the barriers to let me out......PLEASE!!!!

and so far I've had two glasses of wine and another of Dave's Christmas tarts........... :-)

Indeed, Minty.....and to add insult my cracker had no gift inside!!!

That's what keeps him so sunny, his harem. :)

[gness]

No, Tilly......it was very dated and corny.....usually it's much more fun with good music and we end up dancing...I just danced my way home.....x

You need to stock up on tarts for Christmas, Dave......and wine...x

Seems a few folk have had a less than perfect day today.

[gness]

Oi, I went to my local Aldi on the way home from work to get some of those Christmas tarts, they didn't have any :-(
Your Local Aldi must be posher than my local Aldi.

[gness]

We've probably caused a run on them! If I find some I'll put them by for you......xx

[tonyav]

I just knew it would be your fault ^^^^^^ ;-)

[gness]

It was, Eleena...but at least it was the one day this week I could get my car out.......the steep drive's all iced up again today.....x
