Bill's fault

If there is one month in the whole year when I feel the need to drink its got to be January. January in my view does not have a whole lot going for it, however, despite this along with half the population I embarked on the dry January challenge with my lovely husband. We have successfully completed dry January for the last two years so we were both optimistic about refraining from alcohol until the end of the month. We were both doing well and resisting temptation until Bill Bailey.

We were given tickets to see Bill's show Limboland for christmas. Now I'm not blaming Bill he wasn't drinking with us and didn't bend our arms etc but we went into London for the evening, we were enjoying a late lunch/early dinner before the show, one thing led to another and before we knew where we were a lovely bottle of red was placed between us and our dry January challenge was over. I have no idea who ordered it? Not us !!! because we were doing the challenge and we wouldn't do that. Also it would appear that someone else had drunk half the bottle without us even noticing very strange.

Anyway the show was hilarious full of extremely funny accounts of events in Bill's life. There was the saga of a family trip to Norway to see the Northern lights which was so funny I was practically wetting myself (especially after all that wine) and ended with Bill stating that they never saw the Northern lights but he later found out that they had been visible from Dagenham whilst he was away. He also contemplates the true meaning of happiness interspersed with musical ditties including a dark and sinister version of happy birthday. All in all a wonderfully funny evening full of laughter which is just what I need in January. billbailey.co.uk
