It started with a BBQ!

Oh yesterday was a fun day. Finally Wellington has some decent weather so the day started with a BBQ at a law firm at midday. That went on until around 4 pm with much good wine, and then headed down to Leuven with Nikki who is over from the UK for a few days. Ended up at Leuven for six hours or so with friends of Nikki, but also as I saw familiar faces walk past on Lampton Quay, texted them to join me. Over the six hours there were a dozen or so people.

Then a bit after 10 pm a couple of journos rang, and they were in Cuba Street, so six of us then headed down to Fidels on Cuba Street where we celebrated Kate’s new job. A bit after midnight as things were slowing down, we then headed back to the Quest Apartments where Nikki was staying and made our way through a couple more bottles. Got home a bit after 1 am.

Despite what was a very enjoyable 13 hour wine drinking session, no ill effects today because regular food throughout. That is the golden rule – no drinking without food!

I always say the most enjoyable events are the unplanned ones. I had figured getting home from the BBQ around 2 pm and carrying on working. Never thought we would still be going at 1 am!
