What a week
A wonderful week charged by alcoholic extremes - heavy drinking on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. The remaining days saw no booze at all. May try and keep next week relatively sensible (although seven on Monday may not help).
Monday I was guest of Microsoft's development team at the Science Museum. They were giving £2 to Great Ormond Street hospital for every drink consumed (whether alcoholic or not). I like to think I did my bit for the kiddies :) Top night in many ways. Seeing Stephenson's Rocket and Babbage's difference Engine away from the usual throng was stunning. Have never actually been there - I really need to get to London more often.
Flew out to Berlin early Tuesday morning and enjoyed a memorable time thanks to Canon (the Berlinale film festival was on and co-sponsored by Canon). The Bloody Mary on the flight was much needed. Had a little free time after lunch and so a group of us went to the Holocaust Museum - deeply disturbing but essential. This was followed by the Premier of Road to Guantanamo Bay. A harrowing film (especially after the Holocaust Museum), and one with a definite goal, but it works all the same - it’s amazing what people will do to each other…
Flew back from Berlin on Wednesday and grabbed some much needed sleep without a touch of booze - actually I’ve just remembered I had a pint in the airport and a mini bottle of wine on the way back.
Old mate from Oz was over on Thursday, which equated to much drinking and the scrapping of plans to drive back to Melksham and get drunk there. Ended up crashing in the Francis after hitting Moles (awful music); still a good night was had, and definitely good to see Jim once again.
Didn’t drink a thing on Friday (was feeling too fragile to be honest). Popped round Adam and Hagar’s on Saturday after going to Isaac’s best friend’s birthday party. Got reasonably hammered in the evening playing Dead or Alive 4 on his Xbox 360. Good fun, although not that different from anything that’s gone before.
Sunday? A day of rest obviously.
