merry mishmash and happy mayhem

enjoyed a long and wonderful orphans christmas lunch at margaret's with usual cast of old and new friends, the delightful felix brough to us courtesy of sole and ben (woohoo finally!) fabulous food, witty conversation and way too much booze. ah indulgence, it really is my forte. coming to realise there's no point trying to be puritan of body or spirit, when such a high level of decadence is just inherent. home made chocolates a big hit, will be trying more high-class truffles next year, and in bulk. 60 wasn't anywhere near enough for the ravening hordes. managed to stay very low-key about the whole thing, and really did have a gorgeous afternoon with lovely company, preceded by a fabulous evening at lizzie and mike's last night where miss devi-lee and alexis introduced their new person, formerly known as luka. It's a tricky thing, giving someone a name they'll have to use their whole life! Making sure it suits, and isn't in the top 5 newborn names that year. Lots of champagne, friends and family drifting through the days.
Came home to a bath with leonard cohen (well he was singing not in the bath) and about to flop on the couch in front of a really trashy movie. Glad that's all over for another year. Now just have to get through new year's eve without completely freaking out, and life can continue into whatever miscellaneous shape it likes.
