This weekend confirmed....

...one thing....that I am waaaay too old to go out on the town 2 nights in a row! On Friday I began the day by donating blood and then used the post-donation 'fuzziness 'to justify the purchase of a snazzy new Mac book. Our team night out was great fun, not least in part to the tequila/red wine/vodka & tonic drink schedule and our very own drunken Sylvia who did a 'info-mercial' for Benefit Hi-Beam blusher...well I was sold anyway.

Saturday morning was a rather delicate affair punctuated by a hangover lunch with Jenny, a nap, some online chatting with Shelly B and then a trip back into town to Ba Mizu for birthday drinks with Melissa and crew. The quality of chat-ups in Dublin leaves a lot to be desired these days, or maybe it was just Ba Mizu, but blimey they were all very poor indeed.

So on Sunday, I met Kathryn who bought me the most fantastic birthday present ever....a 'Stitch n' Bitch' calendar....knitting patterns on a page-a-day calendar. It's absolutely fantastic, so now am under pressure to learn to knit for present-giving purposes....something for the new year I guess :)
