Declaring early so I can be "dashing through the snow". 22/21 please cathybird. Thank you. XHaving been on pins for an announcement of doom from Boris and staying away from everyone, I think my careful Christmas might actually happen 😀. I intend to celebrate with some moderate drinking over the festive season but will try to squeeze in a couple more AF days this year. X3

Nights are getting shorter! Well, from tonight anyway. 22/21 today and I'm joining Houti (not literally) on the sleigh!
Rehearsal tonight, the last for a while I suspect.

Stayed off the beer Monday but had a drink last night so 6/10 for me. No plans to drink tonight but tomorrow is OH's birthday so will almost certainly have a (budgeted and planned) drink then.4

18/25 for me today please, as I forgot to update yesterday. The sirens tried to lure me onto the rocks last night, but I resisted.
DH has a chest infection (definitely NOT Covid), and is feeling rather washed out. He has lifelong COPD (bronchiectasis) but manages it extremely well. He takes a daily antibiotic, and now also has a stronger antibiotic, just for a week.
