Two things arrived on New Years Eve. One of them was great (Sue) and one of them was shit (literally!). Yes it seems that a little bit of a Delhi Belly hangover decided to accompany me on the flight to Sri Lanka. Sue's arrival from the UK was therefore slightly marred by the fact that most of our catch up conversations took place through a toilet door (albeit it a Hilton toilet door!).Obviously not one to be a party pooper (pardon the pun), I washed down a double dose of immodium with some champers and cocktails and still made it out for a boogie.
Unfortunately I spent most of the night on a porcelain throne and alas that's exactly where I found myself during the opening bars of Auld Lang Syne. I rushed out of the loos at breakneck speed to try and make it to the dance floor for at least a couple of seconds hand holding and jumping around, only to find out that it was only 11.55pm and the band were practising.
Who the hell 'practices' Auld Lang Syne at five to twelve on New Years Eve ?!?!?
Thankfully it gave me enough time to finish my business and much to my own relief I managed to welcome in the new year surrounded by Sue, Andy, Nuala, an array of silly hats and balloons.... and not, as I had feared, on my own in the crapper!
I hope you all had equally 'accident' free celebrations wherever you were and that you're already enjoying 2008!
