Petanque at Brockwell PArk, today at 10.30 / 11:00. Triples tournament, ?5 per team, prize for the winners, all welcome.


I've given up booze as well, since 1st June. The pub was very boring at first and more expensive to drink non-alcoholic beers / interesting 'posh' soft drinks than to drink ales.(6) but vaguely amusing watching my friends get drunker and drunker.


I feel better for it,fresher, sleeping better and have lost a little girth as well.


Having said all that, I'm off to France and Spain next week so am going to get right on it as a reward to myself for being so good :)-D

I find moderation very hard, if I go to the pub early, I will be there til closing, so I try to think about getting there an hour later, so I start drinking later. If I'm having a drink indoors, I will again empty the fridge, so just have to buy a few, which is annoying, is it's cheaper to buy in bulk, but if it's there, I will drink it.

Especially with a slug of vodka

I really should give up drinking... I sure as hell don't need the calories and it would be nice not waking up with a headache on Sunday morning.... but I really can't see it happening somehow. It's only fun if no one else is drinking too. The odd night out 3I've had on antibiotics with enforced sobrietry were kind of tedious.


I have been known to drink G&Ts and slip in a straight tonic water when it's come to my round... but that's more to save myself from getting to the vomity stage than anything else. At least I can keep booze in the house without drinking it - chocolate is a different matter....

You forgot the "My name is Keef..." at the front of that sentence.;-)

    • Hey fellow cat owners! Was hoping that you would consider putting collars with bells on your outside cats? I’ve wee fledglings in a nest and at the moment I’m defending them against an orange and white dude (I call him Trump) and his nemesis, a lovely Tuxedo cat (I call Elon)… they are quite the double act in my back garden!!!! It would give the wee ones a bit of a better chance if a bell could announce their approach. And as a feline owner myself, I know cats will be cats, but every little helps even the odds. many thanks.
