Happy Christmas
After what I described as a manic October I had planned to take it easy in November, however it would appear HK had a different plan for me.
Obviously after any footie or rugby match you have to have a beer, or two, and it didn't help that Lee came to stay so I had to do the pub tour guide thing. And we had the rugby club street party where straight-arm drinking was the order of the day (use your imagination), then there was the team Christmas party. I'm hoping none of the photos come out - a team of rugby players dressed like Britney may look bad at the start of the evening but by 4am …….
At work we’ve been ridiculously busy having run conferences, seminars and countless promotional campaigns but I’m still enjoying it. Out of work and on the water I discovered yesterday that swimming in the south china sea in December isn’t terminal, however it’s still pretty nippy - surely the last junk trip of the season but you never know.
On the footie field we’ve been doing pretty well but at rugby we’ve been rubbish, that said we did finish the autumn season on a win. Last weekend saw the mighty Griffins record a 5-5 draw in our last game, that might not sound like a win to you but when the ref recorded it on the official paperwork as 5-7 to us ……. we were never going to put our hands up after the season we've had.
In other news, while Lee was here a mate got us free tickets to the HK Open (thanks Bob) so we headed out to watch what should have been Karlsson cruse to an easy win. Unfortunately for him an average final round let the opposition back in and a New Zeeland style chock of a double boggy on the 18th meant Jimenez stole it at the death. If a fat Spaniard winning at golf isn’t cause for a celebratory drink…...
And with the occasional meal out, house party and 5:01 Friday drinking that's about it. Admittedly not enough news to warrant a whole email but as Hannah arrives for about 4 weeks tomorrow I may be neglecting other parts of my life for a while. So, in case I don't have the chance to say it in a few weeks time, happy Christmas!
