Intercontinental Drinking

I met El Kenco for drinks last night.  This was an impressive feat considering I live in Australia and she lives in England but hey ho.  Details!  As sisters we have to get together once in a while for girly chat.  It's just one of those things.  And unfortunately no one has invented a teleport machine yet - get on with it boffins! - and I can't afford to just hop on plane.  Instead we met via Skype.  For a glass of red wine and a girly natter.  Time differences be blown!  The timing was actually well suited for me as we Skyped at about 19.00 so it was almost mandatory for me to have a glass of wine in hand.  For El Kenco it was 10.00.  But as I said, time differences be blown!  El Kenco shunned etiquette and was on the red wine with me.  It's like drinking on Christmas day.  It's ok as long as you don't make a habit of it and if special circumstances require you to be on the booze before lunchtime.  This was a special circumstance.  Because when meeting for a girly natter, a glass of wine is essential.  So we met, we drank and we nattered for a good three hours.  It was like going out for a proper drink.  The only difference was not actually being on the same continent as one another and having a boyfriend in the background occasionally joining in with conversation.  It was a good night and whilst El Kenco then went on to a Caribbean themed event, I promptly fell asleep on the sofa.  We may be thousands of miles apart but we can still arrange drinks together.  Cheers!
