Late checking in because I thought I might have a drink today. I met some members of my extended family (I think second cousins once removed 🤔) for lunch. I last saw them fifteen years ago when they were teenagers. It was a lovely reunion. Anyway I decided not to drink so am 23/25 please cathybird. Thank you. X
I almost certainly will drink this weekend but I will probably drop in for accountability as I want to keep to a maximum of 21 units for the long Christmas weekend.

Well done Satchmo, Marahouti, All Night Diner and Covered in Bees.
8/16 here for this evening please Cathybird.5 -
Morning all, 24/30 here. Strange gig last night, the venue was a restaurant more than a pub! We certainly sent a few ripples across their Chateauneuf-Du-Pape! I'd have thought a jazz pianist in a black suit more appropriate but the venue had seen the youtube clips so they knew what they were booking. "Can you start with something low-key?" Um - well we'll try. But it went well overall, despite a sodding great tree in the corner!Now a gainfully employed bassist again - WooHoo!4
