It was inevitable, but this week the 'C' word was muttered numerous times. Yes, 'Christmas' has entered the office vocabulary much sooner than we'd all like, especially with this final burst of summer! Before our Monster Mingle II is even out of the way (it's next Thursday! hooray!) we're dressing up Charlie the monster in his Christmas outfit in preparation for the Monster Jingle (see what we did there? ho ho). But, panic aside, it already sounds like we're going to have a fun-packed festive season on CitySocialising with lots of great Socials to head out to.
This week has also seen a full house for the first time in three weeks, with the return of Jonny to our fine shores! His Stateside honeymoon has sadly had to come to an end, but we were all happy to hear him on the other end of the phone for our monthly team meeting - he's still tucked away in the Manchester office for now. We expect him to visit us down South shortly with a big bag of goodies though!
We also had another birthday this week - happy belated birthday Meg! The best way to feel young is to head out to an old man's pub, so those in the office on Wednesday checked out the Old Royal Oak for lunch (Miles & Owen have discovered that this is the third most common pub name in the UK, fact fans). Here's Owen's report of the birthday meal:
"Meg had a Cottage Pie (as did I) which was acceptable though not outstanding. She and Madeleine also shared a most sizable piece of treacle tart with lashings of cream, whilst Tom and Sanchita shared an equally enormous (and delicious) slice of homemade banoffee pie."
Of course, a CS birthday wouldn't be complete without the obligatory gift of a novelty screenwipe. Sadly, it seems we've almost bought the whole collection, so we're waiting with baited breath to see what the new birthday treat will be. We'd love to hear any suggestions! If all else fails, our mug collection is dwindling slightly...
