Day 21 – Tipsy, la la and really rather steaming
I am drunk. It is rare these days that I become so as I tend to drink a lot less but nevertheless I have accidentally ended up really rather drunk this evening. We go out to a sweet little place in Burton Overy and although the food is spectacular and the atmosphere ever so nice the food takes quite a while to come.
After a gin and tonic that I polish off for old times sake me and the boy move on to our bottle of wine. I drink slowly but it’s ever so strong and the food is taking ever so long and before I know it I’m more than just a little bit tipsy.
Alcohol does not always suit me. I get louder than usual, forget that I can’t sing and yet all my troubles fade away. Before the start of the meal I am fretting about mortgages and house prices but by the end of it I have forgotten all of this and my only thought is of chocolate and sweet things and listening to more Ed Sheeran something the boy seems delighted about.
I worry about getting drunk because it is not so much my tendency to be a bit of a lark when la la, it is how I tend to feel the next day. Alcohol is not exactly the best thing to mix with tablets and a hangover can even send you on a low. However it is not often that I find myself so merry and so even if there is a little bit of pay back tomorrow I’ve had a wonderful evening and when the food finally came it was luscious.
Today’s outfit is that which I wore on the day I did The Sun photo shoot. The bag is my new knitting bag with which I am really rather taken with which may well be evident here.
