Lady Dedlock & A Trifle.

The blur of friday night has receded into my memory now, soaked very liberally in alcoholic beverages, namely red wine, white wine and lager; it was a great evening though, a festive party that seemed to go swimmingly if my disorientated senses are anything to go by!

I was supposed to work on saturday morning but remained in my bed as my head thumped incessantly until way after midday, i was feeling dog-rough right up until i went drowsily back to my bed at midnight.

Telling myself to take it a bit easier next time i was out for a few social drinks is always unheeded advice, some lessons we never seem to learn from no matter how often we're forcibly reminded of their consequences. Still, Pompey finally won a home game today so it wasn't a total wash-out!

Sunday was a much better day altogether, a nice lie-in followed by a shortish trip to complete the Christmas shopping before we returned home to bacon sandwiches and tea.

A lazy afternoon in front of the tv: the final episode of Bleak House, i've loved every second of it all -so sad to see it finish- no more swooning over the poetically beautiful Gillian Anderson's Lady Dedlock... then a lovely tea of toad-in-the-hole followed by trifle...mmm! Before consuming the trifle i took a few pics for my site, nothing inspires me quite like trifle does!

Sitting here at my pc sipping a Bailey's Irish Coffee, smoking a cigarette and letting the trifle settle in my belly, i can happily reflect that it hasn't been a bad couple of days at all; the hangover marred it a little but the trifle won through in the end. Roll on Christmas and more seasonal excesses!
