OK MAE also to lurkers as well - and she who cannot post - kia ora Kuya! Miss you heaps - we all do here.
Well Mick's hangover 'cures' are enough to put anyone off food, let alone booze. Very graphic is all I can say. I could smell it. Than you Mr Jockster :egad:
PPQP - so it was your turn to loose a post. :upset: Its really frustrating isn't it? You sentiments were still hovering around the thread - so no worries.
Cinders - another one with a full house. Take care my dear. You are doing so well - and coping with the family who like to present 'situations' in the mix (no offence thats meant in a supportive way)
Lav - hows the childcare and the ice-cream (we had probiotic mango yoghurt last night - as well as sinful chocolate biscuits) - buy hey we were watching Hitchcock! Great movie - one of his early classics from 1943: "Shadow of a Doubt". Small town America and the psychopathic uncle comes to stay.
Bear - lots of special calming thoughts sent to you for the weekend. But hey, even calm people can be silly and have fun - I try:H And they don't need to consume you-know-what!
Mick - more trips to you-know-where and whom? Well I don't know but my mind is in over-drive. Take care mate.
Blondie - I don't think Perth could be described as congested could it? One of my travel plans is to do a trans-Australia trip and take in some of the outback - but this may have to wait until I retire.
Well absters its really iced-up here this morning. Still dark and the ice is twinkling away (its not ice like Turn or PPQP know it). All will be gone in a few hours. I hope, as I am driving my daughter to the hairdresser and I have to hit the supermarket. One of the things I can be grateful for is that now I don't have the pull of the wine section anymore. I also shop far less as I don't have to stock up on bottles of the poison. I thought my grocery bill would go down but it hasn't because now I buy more interesting and varied food items and treats (and also because wine is so bloody cheap here anyway).
But no more clanking! Mick - can you do a list of alkie sound effects (but make the sound disgusting instead of enticing)?
Clanking of the bottles would be one.
Another list might also be - destruction of the evidence. This was especially problematic for a greenie like me. Confession:
Hiding bottles at bottom of the recycling container, but recycling container too small, driving to another trash deposit bin, or putting the bottles in the non recyclable bin. I actually felt really guilty about the latter. Also how to dispose of bottles when staying at someone else's place or in a hotel (cleaning staff might be horrified to see nice professional middle class woman drink so much alone in her room). Bet they had seen worse.
All seems silly now but it was so f...king time consuming and embarrassing.
On that note I will offer you all some coffee (there is tea as well).
Have a great sober and interesting weekend
