Saturday night, Sunday morning

As I've mentioned before, I am rather interested in photography.  What I may have failed to mentioned is that I'm also interested in alcohol.  Unfortunately these two don't mix well.

Now before I go any further, this is not a disaster story, I didn't get falling down drunk and lose my camera, I don't have a memory card full of blurred pictures of complete strangers (most of whom are men I wouldn't be seen dead with in daylight hours), no, sorry to disappoint you - that didn't happen.

What did happen is that I went to the Thanet Cyder Festival (as organised by CAMRA) and rediscovered kentish cider, took a couple of poorly lit and badly composed photos, and gave up when I realised it wasn't the room that was shaking, it was me.  When did cider get to be so strong????  I only had three halves but, if I hadn't had another engagement, I could have drunk a whole lot more.

Still, onto the second engagement of the evening - typical isn't it? months of Saturday night alone in front of my computer, wondering what was happening out there in the big world that I wasn't part of, and now two engagements in one evening!  (do you feel sorry for me yet?)

This engagement (I do love the word engagement) was a quiz night with work colleagues in aid of Friends of Ramsgate Library.  I did this earlier in the year and, like earlier in the year, WE WON.  Oh yes, my friends, I was part of the winning team.  I have to say it was a very enjoyable evening, especially for me as I was the least informed person on the team - say yes to no pressure.  I had my little cider buzz and the enjoyment of being with people I like and, in case you haven't realised - WE WON!

Now, admittedly the prize was a box of chocolates between the six of us but WE WON, and then to top it all, I won a raffle prize.  Could the night have got any better?  I don't think so!

Funnily enough, I was home and in bed (alone) by 11pm so not so much Sunday morning.
