The beginning… well the middle really
It’s been a hectic few months, been promoted at work (which means the past couple of weeks haven’t been much more than work and sleep) but on the upside work have provided a hire car so I can get around – so I’m terrorising the roads of South London and Croydon!
I did do some socialising at the weekend – and somehow ended up in an Indian restaurant at sometime just past midnight on Friday night after a beer or two… Saturday I was much more civilised and ended up in O’Neills on Wardour St – for any of you that remember the good old days of Bliss in Southport (or even before that when it was the Astoria) the top floor was just like that… including the feeling of being far too old and far too sober (I had only had a couple of glasses of wine, and it seemed to be alcopop city in there!)
I’m starting to get itchy feet, I haven’t planned any trips yet for this year but I have a week off in March and I’m desperate to go away… I’m think Paris or Barcelona, though my housemate has suggested Amsterdam (but I did go there in 2003). Also signed up for Glastonbury (my photo is shocking!) and hoping to book the summer hol in the near future – Croatia maybe? And there’s Munich to look forward to at the end of the year, just need to have the debate of Oktoberfest Vs Christmas Market (I think I might be swayed towards the latter – you can get beer all year round, but mulled wine is only once a year!)
Right I better sign off – hopefully I’ll update this again in less than 4 or 5 months, I’ll be impressed with myself it’s a month or less… mind you in a couple of weeks Lady B (oops it’s Queen B now) will be down and I’m sure there will be lots of mischief – I just have to keep E and Lady B away from the cheap vodka, I can’t carry two people home!
So in summary – I have a better job, I’m working longer hours, I have a car, I need a holiday – and places like Bliss still exist!
