Christmas Party No. 1

Got my first of the year work related Christmas parties today.
It’s one organized by the telecommunications client I am currently working for, all of my team is supposed to be attending but we’ve already had three of the ten come up with reasonable excuses for being absent from work today.

The party’s being held at a lawn bowling club, someplace at the neither end of Lygon street in the depths of suburbia. Lunch is a choice from three types of roast animal – (not a good start for veggie me) followed by desert (I’ll pig out on this if it’s half reasonable) and then onto lawn bowls and karaoke. I did wonder what folk out in the sticks got up to for entertainment.. seems its throwing balls of wood weighted to not role in a sensible straight line, whist singing along to a backing track and lyrics sheet in large print, of some Beyoncé (or is it more likely to be Pat Boone) track.
(Is this why Treacle wanted lawn bowls…I wonder? )

I’m sure I’ll have a splendid time.
