A frolic-filled weekend, but also some shit stuff

[naomi_jay]

So the lovely and stylish Leanne has departed back to Leeds, and in honour of her time here, I offer some stats from the past four days:

Cocktails consumed:

Mudslides x 2
Polish Bullet x 1
Strawberry daquairi x 1
Strawberry Woo Woo x 1
Liquid Gold x 1
Grey Goose and cranberry juice (there ought to be a name for that) x 8 (I think, I lost count after a while)
Baileys and chocolate ice cream smoothies x 2
Mint Baileys and chocolate ice cream x 3

Books bought:

In Great Waters - Kit Whitfield
Creature Conversations - Collette (What a find! I dig charity shops)
Bone Song - John  Merney
Blood Calls - Caridad Pineiro
Familiar Stranger - MIchelle Hauf

Seasons of The Mighty Boosh watched:

One and a half

Weird food consumed:

All-day-breakfast pizzas (pizza! With egg and baked beans! Seriously!)
An assortment of steamed and fried dim sum, included fried cream buns (I know! Fried cream!)
Many, many, many varieties of cakes and chocolates.

All of which is most awesome.

 

Less awesome is that my gran was taken to hospital yesterday; she'd been vomiting blood all night after some serious coughing fits. At the moment the doctors think it's a stomach ulcer (which terrifies me - Dad had a ruptured stomach ulcer two years ago and threw up six pints of blood in a few hours) but they don't know for sure. She's due for an endoscopy at some point today. Fingers crossed everything is okay.

It sounds like your gran has an ulcer. I hope she feels better. Let me know.

Yay for the drinkies and weird food! And OH, those fried cream buns. I found out I made nearly £100 in interest on my ISA (improving on last year's £40) which more than covers the weekend of awesome excess. Not that I'd un-spend any of it even if I could.

Cool! More money for next time ;) I've been fantasising about fried cream buns and chocolate and chilli martinis all day.
