A not so manic Monday

It was a funny day in work. Busy this morning and slow this afternoon. It meant that Stephen and I managed to escape about 3:30 in order to get home and do fun things like fill out our tax planners (eugh - not fun!). It's strange how much longer your evening feels when you're not getting home totally knackered at 6pm after 10 hours in the office!! We must try and do this more often...

It meant that I was able to complete steps 2 and 3 of the curry base sauce - it was a lot of blending, simmering and skimming. But now it is done! The whole house has a certain aroma of garlic and onions, but its all worth it for that little taste of heaven!

After weeks of swithering between venues for the Christmas, sorry I mean Holiday, Party we finally got the go ahead for the formal dinner and dancing at the Westin. We are going to be Full Length and Fabulous! Its nice to be organising a function again, even if this one is on a much smaller scale than the extravaganza's Mandy and I did in Malvern. Joni is also an old hand at this kind of thing, so hopefully it will go with a swing! The office invitations went out today and people actually seem quite enthusiastic for once. I guess this is something different and everyone loves a chance to dress up!
