El Primero Thanksgiving

Annie invited me for Thanksgiving dinner (two days after Thanksgiving in the US for the sake of weekend revelry). Being aware that Thanksgiving is a big food-fest, I was hardly going to turn down the offer, aside from the brilliant company of course! Holy quick drying cement Batman, that American crowd dont do things by halves! There were tables (table plural!) piled high with amazing food (well done on the cornbread Ashley!), hand turkey pictures on the walls, fairy lights, booze and of course the Wall O’ Thanks. 

At about 3.30, Michael, Roberto and I went on the hunt for some more gargle. We took a trip to Roberto’s apartment in the Raval which is amazing! He even has a hammock in his sitting room, which of course myself and Michael had to sample. And being a Galician, he was able to produce an unlabelled bottle of ‘Burning Water’ from his fridge. What else would we drink it out of except some deadly Moroccan glasses which he keeps in the freezer, precisely for impromptu 4am apartment visits!?!

Last night a party saved my life. Well my weekend anyway…
