    Morning all, 15/15 please Shaggy and going to keep going for rest of month as well.

    Watched the Louis Theroux programme last night and it makes you realise how easy long term drinking that doesn't appear to be a problem is! Also how vulnerable we all are to life's ups and downs.

    I thought the Louis Theroux programme was terribly, terribly sad and the thing that stayed with me afterwards was how utterly helpless anyone else is to help someone who's convinced they need to drink. I don't know how medical staff find the compassion, capacity and patience to keep helping people who seem bent on self-destruction. And it made me thank God I got out of the habit of drinking when I did, whether or not I was addicted.

    Thank you so much for that link, Maman. I had absolutely no idea! Fabulous. I think I'll keep that a little secret from OH, so that he's got a lovely surprise when we arrive. If you're into beautiful stations, here, and page down. I wasn't until I went to Russia, and as no-one had ever told me about them they blew my mind. I have hundreds of photographs of them because every station is completely different and there's not a scrap of litter anywhere.

    31 for May please, Shaggy and 26/30 for April, and once again many thanks for the scoring you do. Much appreciated.
    Better is good enough.
  • 13/20 for me please to include tonight.....way short of target and next month is holidays for 3 weeks, so no chance!
    What goes around comes around.....I hope!

    Those Russian stations are stunning HB. I thought Grand Central was ornate but they're something else.
    ETA: I had a treat free day yesterday. Snacked on a couple of cold Jersey Royals.

    Not calling yet because I'm not sure how today's going to go. meeting friends later so I want to leave things a bit flexible.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.
