Well it has been a while, I hope I don't turn into one of those "fad bloggers".Maybe it is because I don't really have much to say, which is ironic when it is probably been the last week I have actually done quite a bit of stuff!
On Saturday we went to a village in Somerset under the alias of Wincaston, with a hungover Col to a "Hogswash Bash". Here we got a screenplay of Hogsfather signed by Terry Pratchett and got to watch the second half of the christmas Sky one showing.
"Hogfather" as per Wikipedia:
"Hogfather is the 20th Discworld novel by Terry Pratchett.
The Hogfather is additionally a character in the book, representing something akin to Father Christmas. He grants children's wishes on Hogswatch Night (32nd of December) and brings them presents. He also figures in other Discworld novels.
The Hogfather wears a red, fur-lined cloak, and rides a sleigh pulled by four wild boars (or, in modern portrayals, cute pink piggies) named Gouger, Rooter, Tusker and Snouter. In earlier times he gave households pork products, and naughty children a bag of bloody bones. Earlier than that, he was a winter god of the death-and-renewal kind. The modern version is a jolly toymaker, with vestiges of the earlier myths (such as his Castle of Bones) still clinging to him"
But if I go back 12 hours and I will take you to the Crown Christmas Bash, where as you can see, Col managed to nervously drink his merry way through a pint or two.
It started off a bit awkward to start, but once the alcohol got flowing it got a bit easier, luckily Col was very brave and ever the supportive boyfriend, even when he stole the plant!
Better still we won the raffle, and it wasn't just the Tuna sandwich we got. I was a complete chicken and sent Col to go and choose the prize, all I can say is he got the best one there. However, I am unable to provide further information as it could be somebody's present yet!
