Dana's leaving party

As the project winds down more and more people are leaving.

Yesterday was Dana's last day at the Guardian. Hes a ThoughtWorks Business Analyst from California with that classic military tuned personality (and physique), and after 9 months on the project he is returning to America to surf the warmer waters.

The party was at Sway in Holborn. It was mostly my work mates but was fantastic because Sarah came too! It was the first time she had meet most of them and where else in the world can someone meet at least 10 new people from at least 10 different countries?

It was also a good test of my new self controlled drinking. Over 5 hours i had a low alcohol apple beer with dinner, 3 bottles of beer, 2 mojitos and very enjoyable mocktail - cherry which i hate, raspberry which i love - so every sip was a tantalizing battle of love and hate on my tongue!

So 6 drinks over 5 hours - not too bad for me. And no hangover this morning! Perfect for facing the hoards of Ikea!
