Last night we had our work ball, which was Alice in Wonderland themed. Definitely a lot more people dressed up for this one than the last one.
Seven of our group. There was a lot of red! Doc's Mad Hatter was pretty awesome.
Got to wear the Lego heart necklace Nat got for me a while back
A cheshire cat and another mad hatter
The room and tables looked lovely
For entree I had "wood roasted hot smoked king salmon, cucumber, red radish, dill scented creme fraiche, betroot jelly", which was very nice
For mains I had "prosciutto wrapped corn fed chicken breast, broccolini with almond broad bean and herb risotto, chervil oil" which was also pretty nice
Desert was the same for everyone - "chocolate pecan tart, chocolate fudge, clotted cream". I'm not a fan of pecans so this didn't do it for me.
Stu hid out in one of the side rooms for a while to escape the noise and crowds, and ended up playing a couple of games of chess (which he won).
The band was pretty good and not too loud which made for a nice change - didn't have to yell to hear each other. Only complaint was a tad too much emphasis on seventies music.
Was a great fun night, with good company, food and champagne, singing and dancing.
Today we didn't do much, other than going to visit Noah and Stu and do our food shopping.

That is a mighty fine necklace!
