Christmas celebrations

Friday night was our christmas meal. We all seemed to have been looking forward to it for so long; getting through the last few weeks by thinking of a weekend when we can all let loose. It was a great time and it was lovely for us all to be together and relaxed. The food was great, the company even better. Afterwards we went to revolution for a boogie and it seemed all of esther's weirdo's were gathered in one room. I felt like telling a few of them that they were in the wrong place "esther's in N. Ireland" but i don't think they would have heard me over the music. Later as we sat in the SLT house we wondered if all men get like that when pissed. Do the nice guys we know, when out in an all male group and after a few drinks, get like that? Decide it's okay to go up to a group of women and grope them? Did those guys really think that a leer and a wink will make it okay?

Sunday (after a long lie in) we went to watch the rugby (London Irish v Ulster). It was great (at times it was like watching a wildlife documentary when rhinos charge into each other) London Irish won. (esther, your accent was everywhere last night, maybe thats why the weirdos were so confused and unable o home in on you) Helen and I were caught on camera doing the warm up dance (a photo of this will be put up here at some point). It felt like winter last night, crisp and cold. We walked home quickly and huddled on the sofa in our pyjamas and blankets eating pizza, drinking wine and watching cocktail. We laughed at the thought of tom cruise standing on orange crates for kissing scenes and talked about our favourite cocktails. Work seemed very far away.
