I accidentally got drunk last night.
I got home and started plotting for an early night, but was reminded that we'd agreed to go our for a friend's birthday. So off I toddled out Thirst, where we had a few cocktails and amused ourself by giggling at the smug bartenders dropping things when they tried to 'flare'. (Though we also discovered that they were VERY quick to serve anything vaguely female-shaped, which left us pleased and a little smug and the boys slightly miffed). Then it was on to Bar Haha in the new Castle complex where I had some pink wine (just one glass). By the time it got to 11ish and those of us working today left, I realised I'd managed to get quietly and pleasantly drunk. Oops. Still, never mind - as ever I have no hangover, so all is well.
Today I am working for about 4 hours, then going to lunch to celebrate a colleague getting her training contract for 2008, then on to the Randolph to use the spa voucher that my rowers got for me. Since I got paid yesterday, I will probably also venture out to the shops in search of a dress in which to salsa. Fashion at the moment seems for the most part to be all demure, which is absolutely no good for my current purposes (why does fashion swing to the way I'd usually dress just when I need to be risque?) so I may have my work cut out for me, but more on the dress hunt when it's done.
