Tonight is my belated 40th part 1, a night at a pub quiz with friends who have known me for the majority of the 40 years. Going by past history and a horrid recollection of what we are like at past birthdays, this is going to get very messy.
The fact we have chosen a pub opposite the village ponds could be either a brilliant idea or complete hazard. Me, in the wisdom of previous knowledge has opted to alter medication so I can drink, so for the moment I am literally gritting my teeth with pain, but that's my choice and painkillers and drink don't mix. There is a back up plan, hubby is on driving duty even though the pub is a normal 5 minute walk, I know it will be too much to expect me to hop up a steep hill intoxicated.
There was an adult logic to this, by being a quiz we should in theory be concentrating on the answers, not the drinking. But I truly don't hold my breath on that one, especially as it is a double celebration, it is also the week of one of the husbands so I still am betting this is going to get messy. But as long as we stay off the shots it should be OK. That said if we win or even come in the top three all bets are off.
Having these gatherings are few and far between due to adult life getting in the way, but at least with these parties I know if someone ends up face down on the table at least we will be able to get them home . Although this time I am not walking people home they will get shoved in the back of the relevant car and driven back.
I have just got to remember that A - I can no longer dance on tables and B- we have the next generation with us and although they are old enough to drink etc we really should set a good example. How that goes? ..Well I will report back tomorrow, now where is the brandy, it is medical honest.
