Dry January

As mentioned previously, 2012 was our annushorribilis with three close (including one sudden) family deaths, sorting out Fester’s old family home (and bringing a lot of the contents back here), the disruption of a loft extension, a poorly cat and more than one health scare.

By October I was on my knees and went to see my favourite GP.   

Amongst other things she said 

“I want you, at least once a month, to do something that it entirely for you.  

 Not for the family, not for a good cause, something entirely frivolous, just for you.” 

Mrs Leftfoot took it upon herself to help me fulfil this prescription.

Hence this exchange …

Mrs Leftfoot to- Bentonbag 24 January  2017 

Ok. So we haven't done Jan yet... We could call it dry January and not bother doing anything, or go for a drink (which these days probably means a cup of tea anyway), or we could go to the pictures (wouldn't need to talk, so could save conversation for February's outing)!

Bentonbag  Himself is away with Haymarket (aka Aged NewcastleKingsmen & cronies) Rapper this weekend so January may have to be a cup of tea at Chateau Midden!  Although I have sherry, Baileys, cherry wine, damson gin, raki, whisky and wine aboard should you prefer to wet your whistle in an alcoholic fashion.

Mrs Leftfoot  Again??!! Shocking! I'll be round on the weekend then. X
