Well...

Well, I've just read my ramblings back to myself and although they're few and far between, they're pretty good. I do need to try harder.
What's the news? Well, Malc died last month over Easter. He had lung cancer which was diagnosed at Christmas and he lasted 3 months. Awful really. It does make you wonder whether curbing the hedonism is in order. The funeral was horrible, although Siobhan was very strong. I'm not sure i'd be able to keep it together at P's.
Anyway, that apart, it's been a quiet start to the year. B spent Xmas with us and J came over too so we had a house full with mum and pete. We managed to drink 14 bottles of champers and wine on Xmas day between 4 of us!!
Inevitably, we had a non drinking February which was great. Both of us did it and felt all the better for doing it. However, we didn't see many people socially and I managed to read loads of books. So that was good. It's amazing how social moments are always linked in with drinking.
D & C came round last night, so several bottles of wine were drunk, but after a curry which M bought for me and Patsy to say thanks for doing his tax. A fair swap I think. Indeed.
Ended up talking inheritance tax with D as he's doing all sorts of stuff with his parents and their house, so I gave him my up to date tax book and told him to speak to a solicitor. All good stuff though. We didn't go to bed till 1.00am and as a result I'm hanging today. Never mind I'll go to bed early tonight. Actually the new series of Heroes is on so I won't be in bed until I've watched that! James is in Port at the moment seeing Rope. We're going round K's tomorrow night for fish pie, so I'll catch up with all the gossip then. Over and out.
