Temperence Fail

Day one of our revised, reviewed and renewed attempts to cut down on booze and food arthritically pulled a muscle last night before we’d even left the starting blocks as it were.

On the plus side, there was no wine. Not one drop. On the negative side, there was over three hours spent absorbing cider in the pub: me, ellefurtle and colonel_maxim. A plate of chips and a couple of bags of crisps may have got involved in the frenzy, too. Once we got home, a late night portion of Chinee certainly did.

This morning my giblets are doing the rumba. Maybe tonight we will be a little more circumspect and refrain from alcoholic indulgence.

In the meantime, I may use the title of this post as a character in a story at some point…

I realise that with all the travails that Japan is enduring at the present time, this is probably horribly inappropriate, but I rarely let that stop me.

Is it just me, or does Emperor Akihito have a remarkably large head?

The picture is actually much bigger than I realised, so it's hidden behind ( this cut )
