aoakley and melissa_jade for a wonderful party last night.
As a result of too much rum & coke and vodka jelly, I found myself just a little bit tipsy. Or a lot. Apologies for anything stupid I did. (Nothing seemed particularly stupid to me, but, well, that's me).
I did discover that there are people who like Peter O'Toole in general and My Favourite Year in particular almost as much as I do. That was a revelation! And was reminded that there are other women who don't relate to Girls (TM) - which I do know, but working in a traditionally-female environment and not getting out much, one tends to forget.
I am, of course, paying for having had a good time today, but that was to be expected. And even more self inflicted because I couldn't be bothered to drink 2 pints of water when I got home.
****
My visit to the optician was quite constructive. My prescription has only changed a little, but only in one eye, and that's what's been throwing me off balance. She found the source of irritation/infection and recommended a cheap over the coutner treatment. All the more scary phenomena are, as I suspected, the consequence of my prism (one eye drags) whilst tired. So there's a simple, rational explanation for everythign that's been wrong, and I'm not a raving hypochondriac. So there.
****
I found enough time on Friday to nip into a few shops on Park Street, which cheered me up. The Boot Room have a fine selection of Buffalo trainers (I do need new trainers). BS8 have the Roman Dirge t-shirts, I'm so Spooky I pee darkness, and I love humans with cheese. But at £24.99, even in my newly affluent state I can't afford them. They also have many cute stripey arm warmers, which may be harder to resist in the long run.
I really have to stop spending money though.
