New Year

We are into the new year, Im still at the office not having taken any leave, the workers are making there way back after there break smelling of there new xmas perfumes and smellies.
Writing a top 10 or even top five for 2008 would be too much pressure and immortalizing them on the internet would only lead to tears if I do not crack them. I am day dreaming about the year ahead though and trying to book the otter trail (If your keen let me know).
New Year started in a good way, Mrs G had a blinding hangover from the night before. So we got to enjoy that together, she has entered into a Dry January bet with me. No alcohol for the month of January for her, easy money I reckon as we are going to Tiger Tiger tonight (If your keen let me know).

Jenny and Brian where brave enough to let us have our New Years celebrations with them at there lovely house in Big Bay beach club. After all meeting up at Leons, getting the first couple of drinks in while lining our stomaches with chiprolls. We returned off to big bay in a convey of naughtyness.. Not being as quick on my feet due to my stitches at one traffic light I was left behind, causing the whole of the west coast road to stop for me to catch up.

Once there we where greeted with a kitchen table that would keep any AA meeting fill for weeks. Jenny guided me and Terence in the direction of the smoothie maker and we let lose.

After this things get blury, I blame the antibiotics, my camelpak (Vodka, strawberry just juice and redbull) and the bottle of Absinth Riaan shared with me.

I do have flashbacks though, lang arm dancing with everyone, Leons excellent coaching and a rather excellent blonde.
