Is there any chance at all of my staying awake through tonight’s party? I’ve barely been home this week and it’s starting to show. I’m sitting here all baggy eyed drinking mugfulls of coffee in the hope of staving it off for a few hours more.

I slept on the train this morning, which is something I never do.

So, Monday night… umm. I think I ended up staying late at the office, although it seems such a long time ago, and then Tuesday was the Dennis party. Big marquee over towards Grays Inn Road, lots of loud music. Lots of chat and a bit of a strange lull in the middle. It was nice to be able to sit around and chat, though, or mill around at the back, even if there were some pseudo paparazzi hanging around taking pictures all night.

I was going to skip last night’s do at the Alphabet Bar, but Mark was organising so I did some abortive Christmas shopping (didn’t actually buy anything) went to make up numbers. I needn’t have bothered, though - the place was absolutely packed. Ended up having a fantastic time and didn’t end up getting home until one this morning, in spite of the fact I was resolutely ‘just having one’.

Ho-hum.

I think it pretty much was the party that confirmed the winning formula where for Christmas do-s. Nice bar. Nice people. Nothing much organised, just an open tab and loads of good chat. I’d rate it right up there with last week’s do for Canon.

So that leaves two more things for this week on the two nights of the week that remain. Next week, as things calm down in the last week before Christmas, it should all get distinctly calmer, and to be honest I think I could do with the break.

Mark T emailed this week to see if I was free to be an extra this weekend in the film he’s working on. ‘Mourners ahoy,’ was the casting call, but apart from the fact standing by a graveside sniffling in a suit (probably in the rain) strikes me as a bit morbid for this time of year, I really think I ought to spend the time hitting the shops.

It’s almost all done, but with only one weekend to go - and probably no free nights - there isn’t much time left.
