Christmas party day for Dawn's office today. Well more than just her office. Dawn and nearly 400 of her colleagues enjoyed a festive meal at The Brewery in Moorgate. The guests started with a pumpkin and organic honey soup, which was probably the highlight. The entree looked more like a bowl of turkey with a tiny carrot and parsnip, a couple of small boiled potatoes, a small chipolata sausage and small ball of stuffing. All of course covered with gravy. No cranberry sauce, which I found puzzling, as did everyone on Dawn's table of ten. No one had any of the bread sauce that was on offer instead. Dessert was a small piece of Christmas pudding with brandy sauce. Everyone could also enjoy two glasses of wine if they wanted. Any other alcohol would be from the cash bar.
Dawn made her exit as soon as the meal was over, and I headed out of work as soon as I could, too. We both made an earlier train, which helped us get an early start to the weekend. With Dawn already having enjoyed her dinner, I picked up some fish and chips at Carleys in Sele Farm, Hertford.
Tonight I spoke to Dad and George once more. Still no movement on that front. I has also spoken to Dave earlier in the day and if all goes to plan, we'll see him and Rita for the first time since 1997.
