I showed my true colours the other night at my sister’s 18th birthday. After one and a half glasses of wine, the first alcohol I’ve had in two weeks (damn exams!!) I was already tipsy.
Discussing the easiest alcohol to hide.
21yr old sister: “at least there’s less fumes in vodka than wine.”
me (24 in 8 days, shite): “there’s no fumes in shampoo!!”
18yr old sister: “umm…? what? you mean wine?”
me: “I said wine!”
“brother-in-law” (21yr old sister’s boyfriend): “she wants wine! give her another!”
Which put everyone into fits of giggles for hours. Then when my 21yr old sister was leaving, I gave her a hug and kiss and she asked “mmm your hair smells nice, what wine do you use?”. Giggles ensued for another few hours.
Which is how my posing photo emerged.

Snapped by previously mentioned brother-in-law.
Simple family moments, they’re the best!
p.s. I have absolutely no idea where ‘shampoo’ came from. I wasn’t drunk! Maybe I was thinking I needed to buy more shampoo? I don’t know. Maybe I’m just going slightly crazy.
p.p.s. god I know I need my highlights re-done. That’s going to be my birthday present to myself after exams!
