She&#8217;d had a dog of a day and wondered if I&#8217;d have a beer with her. I thought about it and said yeah &#8211; bugger it, why not.<\/p>\n<p>I got home and was about to grab a beer when Phoebe arrived &#8211; she said she&#8217;d had a bitch of a day, so I asked if she wanted a beer &#8211; she dived at the chance. So we got into it. Evea was only there for an hour or so but surprisingly, they seemed to get on like a house on fire. Phoebe was supposed to go to the movies with her boyfriend but was enjoying the beers too much, so I told her to invite him round for a few. So he lobbed round with a couple of bottles of wine and we all chatted for a few hours. Phoebe was falling asleep at the table and the young fella was slurring and talking in circles, before forgetting his original point. So at about 10:30 Phoebs decides she should make us all a chicken caesar salad for tea. She cooked up a bloody storm, I gotta say &#8211; had bacon and eggs, croutons and huge slabs of chicken in it. Probably the best salad I&#8217;ve ever had actually. Then we went back outside and had a few more drinks. They stumbled off to bed about 11:30 and I stayed up till 12.<\/p>\n<p>Then, this morning, I used the snooze button on my alarm for the very first time in my life. I bought a bacon and egg roll and a chocky milk on the way to work, I feel very average and a splitting headache comes and goes every now and then. I can&#8217;t type properly and I&#8217;m getting car-sick looking at the keyboard&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;..<\/p>\n<p>But to answer your question &#8211; she seems like a pretty nice girl, and the boyfriend seems like a decent bloke &#8211; pretty quietly spoken and respectful.<\/p>\n<p>Now, back to my rules of life &#8211; I DO NOT DRINK ON SCHOOL NIGHTS&#8230;&#8230;..and next time I WILL REMEMBER!<\/p>\n<p>Bring on the airconditioning and the comfy lounge to lay on.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&nbsp; 22 November &#8217;06 &#8211; an email Current mood: uncomfortable Well, I remember this morning why I don&#8217;t drink on school nights.
