Lets just say I’m tired today…!

What a week. It has been INCREDIBLE - and the real fun has yet to come!

After a day off from the crazy weekend - and a 10k run in 56 minutes on Sunday (get in!), I met Stu and Ben on Monday for a pre-christmas drink, nicely refreshed! So, so great to see them - I haven’t seen either for perhaps five months. It’s always great catching up with lost friends - which has essentially been the theme of this week; catching up with all my old friends before Christmas. For me, Christmas has become a time for friends and fun - none of this present buying malarkey - just good old fashioned making an effort to see people, going out and getting wrecked! Simple!

Tuesday, I went for drinks with Jane, Naomi and all the uni boys & girls, with Duncan and Caro too, to the FunkyFish as a prelude to being woken up at 3am by Tara coming to stay on her way back from Tenerife. Why oh why I drank quite so much and ended up going to bed at 1am is beyond me, but hey, I was drinking for the moment! Tara woke me at 4 - her plane was delayed - and we fell asleep at about 6 after a bit of catching up!

I got up 2 hours later, tired and groggy and spent much of yesterday in a none-too fit state to work. Instead of battling through my mountains of emails, Alex and I passed the day perusing the web for ski holidays and took an extended lunch break to buy Salopettes and a Jacket, as well as visit the high street travel agents. It really is incredible how expensive travel agents are - only one being able to offer us a single ski holiday under £500 - and that was to some nameless resort in Italy. Straight after work I went to meet Tara for a quick (free) mulled wine in Freemasons before heading out to see my long lost Physics champion Jeff. Mr Phillippson is back for pretty much one night on his whirlwind tour of the UK, before heading back to uni in Canada where he is studying for a Phd in the Physics of a heavy Rydberg System.

To cut a long story short - I stayed out late - again; far too late for a school night, and drank a lot of alcohol; again, far too much for a school night. I got home to find Tara asleep in my bed and therefore got very little sleep. Far too little for a school night. As a consequence I had to take some emergency holiday this morning to deal with my disgusting self-induced illness!

So - the big one - tonight is the night to challenge all nights out. Tonight is the Spannerworks Christmas Party 2006! And your host - David Coats!
