Army Thread Sunday 16th June

:hallo: again Army. I've been having a thinkety-think, a la d'Arsey. A trip down memory lane, if you will. Specifically: father's day 2009.

I had already started on baclofen, but it was very early days. I had gone to bed with the best intentions for the next day. But oh boy, did addiction throw me a wobbly. We decided to go out to lunch that day. All I can remember is wanting the1st drink at the table, so that myshakes could subside - I wouldn't be able to hold my knife and fork otherwise. My thoughts weren't on simply enjoying the moment - it was all about AL. I made it through the lunch - not appreciating the lovely prawns at all - just so I could get home and dive into the bottle of vodka that was waiting.

I'm so incredibly grateful that today is totally different. I'm totally "here" for my family. And they for me. OK, I'm being a total sook, but I think I can be forgiven today

In other news... the leg 'o lamb is smelling divine. Nice music in the background. Eldest cub and I shortly off to the local Spar to grab some Sunday papers. Working up an appetite for a lovely Sunday lunch.

Suppose that would be me Mother's Day 2009.

Never mind being a total sook, I think it's brilliant. :l Will ya adopt me?

Morning Army! First cuppa half done - tastes really good this morning. Must call my father later today to wish him a happy father's day. I called him yesterday to set up some plans for breakfast this week - we try to get together every couple of weeks. He seemed really surprised and happy to hear from me yesterday, so note to self - call your father more often.

It's good to hear how much everyone has progressed since becoming AF. I have never done some of the embarrassing things while drunk that a lot of folks mention here, but it's still an enormous time-suck, not to mention money and health. So let's reflect on how much better off we are all-around by choosing health.

Morning Criky Siren,

Have a bit of a chat with my auld Pa more or less every day and he died 14 years ago. Mind I'd prolly have a heart attack if he replied.

Morning army

Happy Fathers Day to the army dads.

It's the centenary of the production of the first Morris car, the Morris Oxford, in Oxford this year:

Morris Centenary 1913 ? 2013 | Celebrating 100 years of Morris Cars

There are lots of events taking place to mark the occasion, including an international rally this weekend at Cornbury Park, a few miles from my home:

I was out in my car earlier and every other car on the road was a Morris. It was quite enjoyable to see so many of them except for the fact that they all seem to go at 25mph :upset:

Been trying to get my rucksack packed and having a heck of a job fitting everything in. Jackie....do ya think you could manage to carry the tent?

That motorhome looks VERY comfy! We might have one or two problems navigating the Wales Coast Path in it, but we'll worry about that when the time comes.

I guess whizzy must have made it to Greece by now.

Spoilsport. I'm sure if we tell the Welsh we're invading they'll widen the paths.

Well she'll certainly not be needing her brolly.

A fortnight in Greece, sigh, a very long time since I did that.
