On The Slippery Slope

It’s been a pretty unpleasant week in work, and letting your hair down at the weekends has been good. Yesterday we all had a pretty surreal experience at the Christmas party in the park. Hagley park is a pretty huge place, with a golf course, tennis courts, various ponds, and lots of playing fields. I guess I didn’t know what to expect, but seeing tens of thousands of people sitting around a stage in deck chairs sipping back wine was a strange sight. It was a kids oriented show, with lots of Christmas songs intersperced with random commentary. As the light faded, the fireworks lit up the sky and everyone boogied down. Afterwards we headed to Micky Finns for a while before ending up in the Bog, talking to these air force guys who were flying to Antarctica. Today I am hungover. I guess you can’t escape drink by flying half way around the world.
