Yesterday was pretty fun - went out for Viv's (one of Mum's employees) 65th birthday to a Chinese restaurant. It was one of those pre-order things where you have to choose from 4 whole banquets and share everything - so Mum and I ordered the seafood banquet, with a touch of trepidation. And rightly so..... fish it may be, but DAMN was there a lot of it. After about the 6th course we sat there for half an hour, gasping and holding our stomachs, agreeing that 6 was far too much. Then, what do you know - the waiter brings two more out! It was MENTAL. Surely no-one eats THAT much Chinese in an evening?
Tried to rectify the extreme seafood antics by dancing loads - the lovely DJ was VERY forthcoming with my requests, thankfully, so attempted to shake the calories away with a bit of Shakira! Who knows, maybe it worked......
Sadly as well, Viv pressed upon me to help her finish a whole 2 bottles of wine - which I happily did..... under Mum's glaring eye unfortunately. Which I later experienced again upon returning from the bar with two "yes-mum-I-promise-they-are-just-Diet-Cokes-and-not-at-ALL-filled-with-a-double-vodka-each" drinks. Oooops. Still, it was a wicked night. Haven't been drunk in ages.
