Well two things. Firstly I put up our Christmas tree last night, then put all the presents round underneath it! Aren't we spoiled with all the things we've been sent! The three large cardboard boxes the tree is sitting on is what they were sent in!
Secondly as mentioned yesterday Darren and I went out for dinner. Dinner was lovely. The even better thing was going out afterwards! We went to dinner at 6pm then finished up just after 7pm, and went out to a pub which was already filled with people! By about 7.30 they turned the music on, 8pm we went to a different pub which was almost packed by the time we left there at 9pm. We then went to a couple more bars all were totally full! People dancing and everything. By 11 we'd been out for 4 hours, had a few drinks, had a bit of a boogie, seen girls in all the different costumes you could imagine, police, nurses, devils, prisoners (they seem to like dressing up over here!) and went home and were in bed by 11.30 :) So great for oldies like us - a full night out without having to have a late night. It was just amazing how quickly things got going in town and how many people were out!
Other observations: the guys didn't really dress up much at all, but the girls dressed up all the way. I mean parades of teeny tiny party frocks! And have I mentioned how cold it is outside these girls didn't have coats! I can't believe how hard core that is! Um drinks were not that expensive at all, neither was the taxi. Hmmm what else... oh yeah guys are weird. Darren and I were totally indulging in people watching, and he was commenting on some hot girls who were apparently the hottest ones in the bar. Talking to him later he didn't like their makeup thought it was all wrong, didn't like their dresses... but still they were the hottest! Weird eh? Makes you realise all that dressing up and making up girls do for guys probably is totally unnecessary!
Off to Milton Keynes tomorrow... it will be good to meet the World Vision people but it'll be a bit lonely having a week in a hotel by myself! But then when I get back it's Rome here we come!
Love
Mindy
