Work Christmas meal

Every year the Peterborough Greyhound restaurant and kitchen staff go out for a Christmas meal. Believe it or not. It’s only the second time I have ever been. Which is bad since I have been working at the dog track since 2003. The last time I went was 2009.

I mainly went this year, since every year I hear so many stories about all the things that happened. So this year, I wanted to see it for myself :).

It was a good night, other than one of the young ones being sick all over this table! So can’t see the Ibrahimi Restaurant having us back again next year!
