Evening mateys

Couldn't start the thread at sparrow fart - too busy but checking in here.

Are you back MicK?
You will have a lot of catching up to do - or you could just tell us how your hols went.

SL - thinking of you. take care now.

Kuya - busy day after the weekend? Are people giving their animals enough water in the heat?

Speaking of drink - our common bond - glad that you kicked the Zero Pepsi habit Blondie. Here's a link to the extremes this can led to here:

But thats just one sad sad case - and better still Blondie that you have been sober for so long - and if you drank a lot of pepsi during that - its no big deal.

Patrice - great that you have a holiday looming - do you have a Plan for this? I am thinking of the AL temptations (apart from shopping) that there might be in Oz during late summer.

Hope you had some respite Lavande from the grandkids!

I am good today - caught up on sleep and went for a lovely walk with family yesterday - chilled out.
You know - what I am off to do now - yes, cook dinner!

Have a great sober day! (or night)

Hi TT and MAE to all,

I heard about the diet Pepsi death .......wierd

I find all diet drinks disgusting, I use stevia in coffee, it's also disgusting but doesn't cause epilepsy ! :H

Really tired after busy weekend. Feel completely out of synch.

Another really warm day here after a cooler weekend, so the glorious summer continues.

Mick home tomorrow TT, he's not happy bout it......we will be glad to see ya Mick.

Hiya all
TT = Well I was quite worried about temptation as I am staying with some good friends who always enjoyed a glass of wine... But I found out my friends hubby stopped drinking a year ago, so that will make it heaps easier. Meeting other friends .. mmm.. need to get a plan for that, however all of my friends in Syd only drink moderately and I think they will be really happy to see me not drinking so I won't have any peer pressure there.
Hi all = i'm so sorry I'm can't type everyones name out, just SO tired. OMG only been back at work a day!!!!

Take care
Patrice

How amazing. How long will you be staying? You REALLY have an incentive to get AF before you go, don't you?

Yes I do Kuya, another incentive is I'm 50 in 2 weeks OMG!!!!
Going for 9 days...think OZ is expensive these days especially when I'm travelling with Asian currency!
so TT = not sure how much shopping I will get done.

Bugger this - I just posted to Patrice and I lost the message when Kuya stepped in! I had the usual sage advice for staying AF on holiday and when catching up with mates - including being very proactive on the flight over.
I think Patrice if you quietly tell your friends that you have quit - they will be supportive. They will want the best for you.

A friend suddenly died today - I was a matron of honour at his wedding to one of my best friends (they are divorced but have an 18 year old son). Very very sad.

MAE ALL....

TT...may not have been at sparrow's fart...but we waited for you to start the thread anyways...thanks. Sounds like you had a calming day until life got in the way...don't you just hate trying to figure out what to cook day in and day out! Sorry to hear about your friend.

KY...glad your summer is continuing...it can be so short. No wonder you're out of sync...you did have a busy weekend.

Patrice...had to look up "serendipitous" so I could totally agree with KY. How nice to know you have someone in your corner before the hols even start. And remember, 50 is the new 20.

Mick...looking forward to having you back at your regular scheduled time.

Molly...you're allowed to visit but you're not allowed to bribe the inkeeper! Don't care how much food the Army has in the fridge.

Not sure what I'm up to this holiday Monday, other than trouble shooting the rental laptop.
No forcasted snow arrived so some time outdoors is in order me thinks.

Have a great AF Monday all and all to come....PPQP

MAE, abbers.

It's a quiet holiday morning here. I'm feeling tired and lazy.

There are days when I just love my bed. It's in a beautiful room with lots of soft light and cozy colors. I'm thinking good coffee and good book in bed.

MAE Abfabbers,

I thought I checked in already but must be having a "moment"!

I would like to ask if anyone can direct me to a friendly & funny thread in the General Discussion that I can dip into and out of for a bit of fun and support? Thanks!!

Have a lovely day :H
