So, I’ve been challenged by Larry to give you live updates of my New Years Eve.  OH A CHALLENGE!  Now we all know I cannot resist such a thing! I had to don a wig to get me in the party mood because usually, I’m not a massive fan of New year.  I find it all rather terribly depressing and prefer to stay in and mull over my endless failings as a human. It’s likely that you are going to be highly disappointed if you are expecting “Jules la party gal” to emerge, but I’ll see how it goes.  I plan to post on the hour, every hour (give or take – I have to upload photos, remember) on my nights entertainment.  I’m hoping to get out amongst the people of the night and see if I can shoot them and then maybe get a few snaps in.

First off, let me try and get in the spirit of things, so to speak. Here’s the right side of my drinks cabinet:

a nice selection of Baileys, Baileys chocolat, a bit of fizzy prosecco, a nice bit of rose going on at the back there and a juicy red….Taylors port….gin….

vodka…more port…(I’m so classy) martini (shaken not stirred) vodka (always a steadfast) I just don’t know where to start or WHY I HAVE SO MUCH ALCOHOL!  I don’t even drink.  When confronted with so much choice, it makes me very stressed.  I’m dreadful at decisions.

Give me a few minutes, if you would….

I’ve opted for a Martini Gin as I have recently experienced this fine, knock your box off, little cocktail when in France. When I was first offered this I was a tad skeptical.  The last time I drank gin was at my friends house, aged 14, after several bananas and

It was at this tender age that I realised my tendancy to the extreme.  I drank 3/4 of a bottle and then proceeded to throw up all over the nice neighbourhood street and then tried to have a wee on the post office floor.  Things haven’t changed a deal…I never touched gin again thereafter until I became acquainted with French class.  One part of this mixed with 2 parts Martini Bianco (sweet) a slice of lemon and let me tell you….the world is a magical place!

Right then…see you in an hour!
