It's our Christmas Party tomorrow night at the Royal Yacht Hotel here. The dress code is usually eveningwear, but this year we have a Bond theme. So, much as I'd like to treat everyone to my bod sprayed gold a la Shirley Eaton, I'm actually wearing a gorgeous black velvet dress.
I'm teaming my dress with the most delicious black sequined peep-toe shoes. They're high, (I can run in heels as well as trainers, though why I'd need to run, unless it's raining, I'm not entirely sure. This should also tell you how dreadfully unsporty I am). I'm wearing large fake (unfortunately) diamonds, and intending (yes, I know I do this every year) to take it easy, and remain relatively sober, but as Les Girls will be there too, I'll probably have one sniff of bubbles and that'll be the end of my resolve.
Unfortunately he's not coming, and let's just hope that none of the chaps decide to dress in this get-up, after all, isn't it always the one who really can't get away with dressing in so few clothes that assumes he looks perfect that way?
Thanks to the lovely DJ Kirkby for my Wordless Wednesday award, judged by her very own soon-to-be-published crime author, Chopper. I love it, thanks.

Photos! We want photos! Show us the dress - and the shoes, oh, the shoes! Have a great evening - looking forwards to reading about it.
Crikey, I can't stand up in high heels.
I managed half a glass of champagne yesterday before a headache began to threaten. Not fair, eh?
Photos please of the shoes especially. Hope you have a lovely time.
fionnuala - now that would be a Christmas bonus worth waiting for.
melissa marsh - wouldn't it just. If only he would turn up.
Just me - hello there, I just run as slowly in trainers as I do in heels.
lane - it should be great fun, it usually is.
pat posner - run after him, more like.
helenmh - thanks.
chrish - I shall ask S to take a couple of pics, before I go out.
jj - poor you. I'll have to take it easy tonight, as am on so many pills for aching, coughing etc, but hopefully that will mean that I'll be more human tomorrow, with less of a hangover than I usually have after the Christmas party.
I miss the great Christmas company parties now I've retired. That looks a great hotel where you are going (I've saved it to my favourites)- have a wonderful time!
East Anglian Troy - thanks. It is a beautiful hotel and was only refurbished last year. I'm looking forward to tonight, I just hope I don't end up with a ghastly hangover tomorrow.
Oooh, have a lovely time, Debs x
Sounds fabulous! Have a great time and hope the head doesn't treat you too badly tomorrow...
The verification word is unbub - which sounds like the kind of advice you're going to ignore :-)
Amanda - thank you.
tam - I did unbub for most of the time!
