First hangover of 2007

Cause: Pinot Grigio. Effect: Not unlike flu, that is, nausea, headache and a general feeling that one wants to take the duvet that has been stuffed into one's head and crawl under it for the day. Also, oddly, my mouth tasted almost exactly the same as I imagine a badger's arse does. This is not, of course, a suspicion I ever want to test, but I'm fairly positive that is the closest approximation.

The evening started oh-so promisingly with the suggestion of a brisk walk into the Village to get a kebab. On the way, it was decided to stop in at the Red Lion. Recently refurbished, it was interesting to see that the (low) ceilings were actually cream, rather than a shade of second-hand Benson's that seems popular in pubs. Drinks were bought. Drinks were drunk. At some point there may well have been a packet of peanuts involved.

Suspect that evening got away from me around about the fourth large glass of wine. Remember wandering home in a manner almost exactly like one of those diagrams of bee dances.
