    4/24 please for yesterday, Tuesday. Pleased with that as I was very tempted to stop on the way home last night and resisted.

    Someone gifted me a bottle of wine so I had two small glasses yesterday with a friend. There is a glass left so that will be this evening and then it is done. I don't keep wine in the house for the simple reason I just drink it!   There is a bottle in the shed too but that takes more effort to go and get and I've promised myself I will take that to a party Saturday night.

    The wine finished.  However my partner's mother had a fall last night and we had both had a drink so we have had a frank conversation that we cannot both drink together as taxi's are expensive and hard to get in our area.  So he has decided not to drink and I am going to try to join in that.    Hopefully one more push towards making my target.

    His mother was fine, just unable to get up and then had a rare flash of lucidity when she said it stood to reason she had dementia and had he realised.   He had but didn't know she knew.   Then she went back into her world of not really knowing what is happening around her.

    Good morning everyone.

    I had good intentions yesterday, but my cold was getting me down, so I ended up drinking a large kir, which may or may not have helped.

    Please could I declare early today: 8/20 - thank you!
