Before you all think I’m dead. A quick blog. I’ve been in bed for almost two days after being hit by probably the worst migraine in my life but I’ll get to that.
On Saturday Dawn, Jen and I went to see the Twilight movie. It wasn’t awful. I mean the acting and special effects left a lot to be desired and they mangled the essential intensity of the story but Robert Pattinson was nowhere near as awful as I expected, despite being considerably hairier than I think anyone ever imagined Edward to be. The thing is, the books are so stunning that I don’t think we really need a film and everything is going to be a bit of a disappointment. I’d be interested to see what someone who hasn’t read the books thought of it.
Saturday night the dinner club came around for the Secret Vegetarian Festive Dinner, otherwise known as our Christmas party. I don’t think I ever realised quite how loud we all are until I imagined watching the festivities through Jen’s eyes. Everyone talks continuously. There are about 1 conversations going on at any given time. Names were handed out. Gifts were opened. Wine was consumed. We kissed under the mistletoe and it was all over in a whirlwind. The biggest gathering of my recollection so far with 13 of us in attendance. So to Josh, Sanna, Dom, Lucy, Jen, Emily, Alice, Jakov, Tash, Rob, Saoirse and Dom 2 AKA Sunflash thank-you for an awesome evening.
I went to bed and woke up in the middle of the night with a full-blown migraine. I was sick all through the night before eventually waking Michelle up in a state of panic. Being the angel that she is, she sat with me with a cold wet flannel on my forehead until I eventually fitfully fell asleep. I slept all day yesterday and I am still in bed now. Wish me a speedy recovery… I’m so bored!
Thank *you* (and your carpet) for hosting such a lovely party!
