On Boxing Day, we packed the car and headed down to Glasgow to enjoy the rest of the festive period.
On the 27th, I went to a girlie Christmas lunch with my sister and 3 friends from childhood. They do this every year but as I’ve been overseas for a while, I haven’t made it until now. Basically they have lunch and drink champagne until they fall down!
This year it was Aileen’s turn to host the soirée. It is customary at these events to bring something alcoholic and bubbly. So, by the time we had finished (around 9pm), between us we had consumed 12 bottles of champagne between 5 of us. Actually I should mention it was more like 4 as I wasn’t drinking to the same scale as my sister and co. This is largely due to the aforementioned bowling night I’d had the week before!!! Also, I’m not a huge fan of champagne and can’t drink too much of it.
In all, it was fun. We had planned another get together in February at Rhona’s house in Killearn but not sure if that was a purely alcoholic plan or if it is actually going to happen.
Elaine before she fell off the seat!
