The Work Christmas Do........

Dear Reader, self and Mr Life After Law headed off eagerly to Mr LAL's work Christmas "Do" at a local spa hotel - nice meal and overnight stay (very exciting as it was the first time we'd left the progeny overnight since...........ever!).

Apart from mutually agreeing that it is lovely - if new and unusual - to spend time together without our beloved kidlets we also agreed that we felt a bit out of touch with "partying" (and that we were suprised that Band Aid wasn't played).

Food, drink, colleagues all very pleasant and Mr LAL gave a bravura display of dancing to some Blues Brothers favorites, some Madness and some dance classics circa 1994 - which I and many of his colleagues very much enjoyed. But why, I mused, did we feel a little bit out of our natural element (despite plenty of party experience pre children)?

Probably because :-
(a) we are getting a bit old;
(b) sleep deprivation does affect your ability to stay up late (!); and
(b) we don't need to let off steam so much because we aren't as stressed by our current full time roles  - because Life After Law works for us (fortunately!)

Now, anyone got "Band Aid: Feed the World" on their iTunes......?
