Saturnalia Party

I had my work Saturnalia* Party yesterday afternoon and last night. We kicked the students out of the school at about 12:30 (ish) and then converged on Garuva's in the Valley by about 1:30pm. We were fed and given large quantities of alcohol. The atmosphere was great, and the food was pretty good too. After we finished eating, we moved to the cocktail lounge at Garuva's where we consumed a ridiculously large amount of alcohol, which was all paid for by the owner of the school. This alcohol included cocktails, shots, wine and beer. I think spirits were also available. After many hours there, we decided to move on. Most people piked and went home, but 4 of us carried on to another location that may or may not have been a karaoke venue. Songs that may or may not have been sung may or may not include Kylie's Locomotion, The Village People's In The Navy and ABBA's Fernando, as well as others. After stumbling out of the last location, we decided it was bedtime and I went and crashed at another teacher's place, who lives in New Farm, rather than shelling out for a cab ride home.


* Saturnalia is the correct name for the annual festival many people refer to as Christmas.
