The 22nd & 23rd; Rosé does not agree with me.

The 22nd of July.  Writing this on Sunday morning because I was not exactly in a fit state last night. 

This morning, after breakfast and coffee, I had a lot of typing to do - two long blog posts done. When I have to write very long ones, I use the laptop, but it's not good for my wrists. My body is so broken. 

I had some lunch, then got myself ready to go to Becky's for her birthday barbecue. When I arrived, I was presented with a glass of rosé and took a spot in the garden, under the gazebo. It wasn't super warm, but it was at least not raining. All of the usual gang were there - Chris, Alison, Jamie, Lorna (and her boyfriend Will), Micky and Stuart, Michael and Barbara. Other people were going to come and go as the day went on. 

We managed to soldier through the first shower, but after about 5 o'clock, it was getting a bit chilly and we decamped into the living room. I sat next to Luna, one of the cats, so I always had someone to talk to. We played Cards Against Humanity, which I have not done before, but I won three black cards so I was pleased with myself. 

By the time I had started my third wine, it had got to about half past nine, and I was quite sozzled. Decided it was time to go home - I needed carbs and water, and if I'd stayed, I would have continued to drink and things could have ended rather messily. 

The 23rd of July. 

Hmm well rosé does not agree with me. The last time I had it was at Jill's when I also had Four Loko and some kind of apple shots so the hangover could have been attributed to any of those. Today I haven't been hungover, but I've had really unpleasant heartburn since last night. Had some Rennies today but it still isn't 100% gone. Ugh. 

I had a nice morning watching ol' Nish on Sunday Brunch, writing about yesterday and trying to ignore Rita Ora. I don't know why, I just find her incredibly irksome. Grandma didn't go to church, so she came to us for lunch, which we actually had at lunchtime, not mid-afternoon. 

Afterwards, I went upstairs for an hour or so to have a lie down and stretch of my stomach, give it a bit of a rest, while I listened to some podcasts. I came back down to say bye to Christine, and crocheted some more of the minion while the cricket was on. Then I went to see the floofs, and watched one episode of Orphan Black. I've got two episodes left of season 4, then I'll actually be on the current series. 

Grandma has gone home, and I'm starting to think about some tea. More carbs, I think.
