Fragile New Year

We did try to go out today - it was a lovely sunny morning, ideal for a trip over to Whistling Sands, where we didn't manage to go on Christmas Day because of the snow. However, by mid-day, we were back, having had to stop the car several times for fresh air, as I decided, regretfully, that I just wasn't going to make it.
The problem was not the tummy bug that's doing the rounds at present, no, it was, I have to admit, totally self-inflicted, albeit quite unintentionally.
Well, how was I to know that 2 red wines, a Martini, an Advokaat and 2 Cointreaus would cause me to feel 'fragile' to say the least, today? I have never been a big drinker (no, really) and as the years pass, my alcohol tolerance is gradually decreasing anyway but after today, I think I'll swear off the stuff for ever! What a waste of a day - and all self-induced, and what makes it worse is that Keith has been full of health and energy all day. So unfair!!! :(

Green around the gills huh. You should have stuck to the red wine. A few more reds today will fix you Jen!!

I agree, Michelle. Jacob's Creek shiraz. Or Wolf Blas. Nectar of the OZ. Brilliant!!

Hope you feel better soon, Jenny.

I can't drink like I used to either. I have three beers and I need a nap, at our ages, me 45, hubby 56, we tend to stay in, have a beer or a glass of wine and turn in early. It takes too long to recover anymore.

Plaster board and dust

So, we're still no further forward on the British Gas smart meter front and I've given up making non-existent appointments with them...
