We’ve been out tonight – as we don’t get out much these days, we behaved badly – we’ve made a pact to not drink any more and here we are, off down the pub for the residents’ association meeting and had two pints of beer, knocked half a pint around the pub then fallen over in the car park…..(and all of that by DM – by comparison, I was a paragon of virtue – I didn’t swear at anyone, nor did I become obnoxious or belligerent at any stage (at least as far as I’m aware)!!!!

These ‘ere residents’ association meetings are a bit of a revelation – traffic calming, neighbourhood watch and caravans in fields are what have occupied our thoughts.

Our neighbour and co-conspirator gave us a lift there and back which was just as well as it’s real ‘brass monkeys’ out there. I do like living in the countryside, with black skies and real cold!

Still, I come home, half-cut and find myself a really fabby abstract pic – Eric – you’ll be proud of me tonight, I’ll wager!

I was doing a boot thing last year.
