Xmas Cocktail Party

Hosted a cocktail at our place last night. The idea behind it was to use up some of the spirits we’ve been acquiring… but after cleaning up this morning we have more than we started with, plus (yay!) heaps of fresh fruit for me to eat this week, plus foods like cakes that will be palmed off onto workmates this week :p

The spirits we provided (many other things arrived with our guests)

Plastic cocktail glasses. Awesome invention.

Cupcakes. Made using this recipe and covered in icing and balls. very very rich and sweet.

I only really got into the drinks late in the night, when Kat was in full flight making them, half the people had left and I relaxed a little.

Local DJ

I’ve not been to a party in someone’s house before with a DJ all set up with his many speakers, turnables and … well laptop these days…

Nothing but the local DJ.
He said he had some songs to play.
What went down from this fooling around.
Gave hope and a brand new day.
[Loving the Ting Tings :)]

Hey it was a complete novelty for me anyway :) Gave me something to do when the conversation lost my interest. Dance!

(And the drums, the drums, the drums, the drums.)
