Such a lot of positive stuff on yesterday's thread and lots of lovely new people too mixing with the more established and everyone in between. It's here for new and old - for people starting, restarting, continuing and developing their relationship with Al. I am looking forward to seeing who posts on here today and the 'theme' it takes on!!
The day out on the little boat was just fantastic. Blue skies, breezy and sunny and we moored up in the afternoon/evening at the most delightful little staithe and Griff Rhys-Jones was on the boat next to us doing some filming for a new series. He was a really nice, unassuming guy and was treated just like all the other boat people there - ie we all watched as he did tricky manoevres with his sail boat to make sure he didn't hit our boat!!
We had some lovely food and for me the day was very easy. Just chucking a couple of ropes about really. Lovely dinner in the evening and I did drink wine - up to my (self imposed) limit. Al nearly got the better of me - I got that sort 'sod it' feeling and took the glass of wine that would have taken me over. I sipped it and it didn't taste so good (a different wine to the one I had been enjoying) so I put it down and didn't go back to it.
I figured that it was a big thing for me to go over the mod limit and that doing it with a glass of wine I wasn't even going to enjoy just wasn't worth it. So I feel a little heady this morning (late night, early morning and dehydration too) but I am very pleased I took control and was able to put the wine down and leave it. Not something I could have done before I found here. :H:H
But that was yesterday - today is today. Another ODAT. Hope everyone has a really great one.
Love to all.

I will no longer give the BEAST any power over me - he can go straight to hell.
The little one is always happy to see me though! The weather here is nice this morning....going up to 89 degrees with not too bad humidity. Lately the humidity has been horrible...my "hair baramoeter" has been out of control. I look like I have a fright wig on! Anyway, have a busy weekend planned...the middle daughter is going to the beach and Saturday we have a flea market with some neighbors which will be fun. My basement is FULL of useless old stuff. Problem with doing flea markets is that I just end up buying other people's crap with the money I make selling my crap...! Hope everyone is well and I hope to stay so busy this weekend I will not be tempted! Fingers crossed!
