Happy New Year....

Saw in 2008 with Gail & Lucy at a party in Mile End.



Gruff, Steve and I then ended up trudging for miles to get to a party at Stokey full of similarly drunk people. Yours truly crashed out on the sofa and then got moved to the spare room at nine in the morning. My eyes were stinging when I woke up because I'd slept with my contacts in,... bad....

Finally made it home at 4 p.m as I was in desperate need of a shower and change of clothes. Then went onto watch Tintin which was amazing, I loved the comics when I was little and the production managed to stage it really well. Saw the original production 2 years ago when it was playing at the Barbican so I knew it was going to be worth it. I've got 2 friends who are in the current cast and they sorted out some comps for us. We had great seats and the millions of kiddies there were pretty well behaved and riveted by the production so they were fairly tolerable. Had lots of drinks at the aftershow party, then went for some dinner and ended up at another party because we were too drunk to be sensible. The thing is that everyone else is still lying in bed and I am the only chump who had to get up to go to work today....

So I think I might crawl home early to get some much needed beauty sleep. Feel and look like a total hag today.... it's hardly a great way to usher in 2008 frankly and at my age I SHOULD know better!
