Oh What a Night

Still not heard anything on the job...

Met dearest Newcastlewench for a martini or 2 (she had 2 I had one plus a coffee) from work. Great to see her and I have to say a special thank you to her for texting me a picture of her cat. Thence to Tiger Tiger for a night of karaoke with my union colleagues. What a fantastic idea karaoke pods are. If you've never used them before I urge you to give them a go. They are so good. Some genius had decided to organise the evening around Eurovision so we were divided up into national teams and all had to vote on the other teams' efforts. I was Norway along with 3 others. What chance did we stand? Anyway each team had to choose song and then sing it to the other teams which meant a lot of pod swapping. What a brilliant way to break the ice. Needless to say things soon descended into chaos. Everyone sang everyone else's songs and the voting quickly became political (just like the real Eurovision!). Anyway thanks to agreeing a "lets give each other top marks" deal with several other teams (sorry Sweden, Iceland and Spain) Norway finished about half way up the table. The Netherlands won and Spain came last. Manchester are now hoping for a mention in the Union's next journal publication.

I'll keep you posted on the job situation. Love to Jane as always as she goes through all the crap of chemotherapy. That's all. J x
