things i have learned in the past week...
- when you go to a driveway party where there are large squares, tennis balls and several primary teachers, you will, more than likely, start playing handball - and not stop for six hours... you also may invent new rules, such as the "beer in other hand, or you're out", but only on a saturday;
- on a sunday after a 6 hour game of handball - your legs might feel as though you've run a marathon the night before;
- the monday before christmas is a night for drinking several bottles of wine... telling everyone that you are doing so simply because it is the monday before christmas is also entirely appropriate;
- on a tuesday, i cannot drink john shearman under the table, but if he will insist on coming back with cowboys when i ask for a vodka and tonic, then yes - i will throw up on him... also, stolen pool cues get forgotten when you drink too much;
- the wednesday before christmas is a day best spent throwing up your guts, before going out to dinner with friends and family;
- thursday's in christmas week is when you realise that when you're about to move out of home, all of a sudden, instead of enjoying the last weeks at home in pleasant domestic nothingness, you cannot do anything right in the eyes of your mother;
- if you pour beer into a poker machine on a friday night, it does not get the machine drunk and therefore more likely to give you the feature... it just breaks the machine; and
- if on a 42oC saturday you go to the beach, you will be followed by a strange lady - who you can smell from 10m away.
