Cheers and jeers

You know you’re in trouble when you’re slooshing down your Panamax with a glass of champagne at 4pm … I am sooooooo not good at drinking alcohol during daylight hours. Oh, it’s a blast at the time, but come evening I’m a bleary mess. So, I arrived home from a luncheon yesterday a little over-sauced. What’s a girl to do when it’s 4pm and she can already feel her hangover coming on? Open a bottle of champers, of course. And put Lord of the Rings into the DVD player for a little low-impact family entertainment. The defense of Helmsdeep one. Quite bloody. Didn’t seem to worry the Sprogs. In fact, when the first orc head was decapitated, Sprog 1 cheered “yay, violence!” at the screen. What is it with the younger generation? I just felt a bit peaky. So I drank a bit more champagne. And eased myself into bed at 8pm. Saturday night in the suburbs. Pumping.

PS Must remember to avoid electronic equipment while in the above condition. Sent a text calling someone my nemesis; sent an email seeking an argument; and told Husband I was having an early night when I was actually downloading a sneaky episode of True Blood on iTunes to watch on my iPad (he came upstairs to check on my condition and caught me). Husband hates True Blood, thinks it’s silly trash.
