Dry January

[Doug]

Looks like another year I’m not gonna manage dry January



Hope everyone had a good Xmas, here’s to a happy & prosperous new year

Jigsaw puzzles begin to get easier after the second bottle

Since January is in five days and you have five bottles, the solution is obvious...

Absolutely. I find that second bottle gives me the extra strength to force those awkward pieces that nearly go in but not quite. You know, the pieces with an extra bit on that the manufacturer left there by mistake. Trouble is I then find that the finished puzzle doesn’t quite match the picture and there are lots of little empty holes. I blame the Chinese manufacturer

I like a challenge but that’s a step too far



I stuck to the red wine this afternoon so the pieces went together without force

That M&S Port in the 500ml 'decanter' bottles is very good value for a young ruby. Now on offer at £9. Snap it up!

That didn't take long, I would prefer to play chess with the family on xmas day but no one plays chess anymore.

There’s only me at home Boxing Day so an ideal time to break out the jigsaws, I like 500 piece puzzles as I can do them in 3 to 3 & a 1/2 hours so they aren’t hanging around for days & I'm not getting it in the neck for clogging up the dining table.

That’s quick, never timed ourselves (yes 2 of us) but much slower! Particularly on one like that where it’s quite monochrome.
Booze, not much nowadays. Yes, boring sorry.
