Excuse me if this post seems a little hazy and not very well put together because last night Darrell had scheduled us in on his “to the second” festive preparation spreadsheet to write our traditional Mums Monkey Christmas cards ……….
…… an evening we all love, with it’s light hearted banter, ribaldry and laughter ……….
……. and this year we have to admit to being particularly pleased with the Hello Magazine inspired shoot Darrell again arranged, it says it all really!
However …….. I think Darrell carried the theme a little too far …….
…… when he said he had an idea for a cocktail that he was desperate to try out on Nigel and I, made up of 1 part Cherry Sourz, 2 parts Tequila and a generous glug of some 80º rum from Antigua that he had forgotten about, but found at the back of the cupboard …… it would, he added, be an apt way to end our evening bearing in mind the subject of our said card,
Oh dear, oh dear, oh dear, my poor head …… it turned out to be very potent concoction not for the faint hearted …….. Nigel was supposed to post our cards on the school run later on today … we just have to remember where we put them!
Did the writing, and comments, in the cards get more and more wayward, as the cocktails were drank?
ReplyDeleteHope the headache soon goes away. I think the Christmas elves have found your cards as mine has arrived-you all look wonderful.
