The lovely lady wife and I went to a dinner party last night. Only a short journey to our next door neighbours, but nevertheless it was a fantastic spread.
Our hosts are actually vegetarians who eat fish, so I was interested to see what they were going to russell up as they had invited ourselves and another next door neighbour, and between us we are probably the biggest meat eaters/barbequers in the village!
Anyway they didn’t let us down as we had a great starter, fish pie main, great dessert polished off with cheese and biscuits, not to mention a large amount of wine!
Which brings me to my point. Getting drunk. Don’t get me wrong I love getting drunk, but these days the wife and I have a one year old baby, so any evening out is now always a balance between how much we drink and enjoy ourselves, but then knowing that when we return home the little guy is definitely going to be awake at some point, or many times during the night.
So is it worth drinking anymore? I still say less but maybe a little more conservatively than when we were childless!
We have another party tonight, 80s theme…so might take it a bit more steady tonight.
