Party time Again!

After the exertions of the apple pressing we needed to rest a little. We were invited to a surprise birthday party for a friend in the village except he had found out about it and didn't want it, but as the venue and food was booked already then it went ahead anyway. We arived and the friend was there as well. His logic was, ah well as it is going ahead anyway i might as well be here as sat at home!! He is 79 by the way!!!
Drinks were 1 euro a double shot so the pastis was going down very well. Three doubles in an hour and more lined up on the bar bought by others in return for us buying them one etc etc etc. The meal started at 9:30 late as usual and just intime to stop us sliding to the floor as it soaked up some of the pastis in my stomach. Only problem was that it came with FREE wine ohhh errrr
What a dilemma? do i drink or not drink the wine? Rude to refuse really especially as M. Le Mayor was pouring some out!!! There was a disco afterwards and that played a strange mix of modern( think 80's) music and traditional folk dances... bizzare.....Somehow we made it home but the next morning yeeeeewwww the inside of my mouth felt like a badger had sh*t in it as we used to say in the army..... Luscious had a delicate head and lounged in bed all morning...
I have a great cure for a headache but she wasn't interested, choosing instead to throw up in the toilet......aint life grand?...
