Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Morning everyone

Well one week into my no alcohol in November "challenge".
Noticeable changes so far
1. Don't wake up feeling yuk ( only usually lasts 5 minutes)
2. Sleeping better and longer
3. The most important one .....not snoring, which is a constant source of argument between me and Mrs J.

This could catch on.

No idea what the day's got ahead as I haven't poked my head out of the curtains yet.

Have a lovely day everyone

Since I started my healthy eating ( i.e cutting out crisps, biscuits etc) and more exercise regime on 1 October I have noticed a marked improvement in my energy levels , quality of sleep and clearer skin. I agree, it could catch on! 🤣

Ha, sorry I obviously wasn’t paying attention when I wrote that, so it’s a grammatical error on my behalf.

My mum is far from famous, but she did work with him in Lewis’s. She was also Craig Charle’s childminder and friends with Steve Coppell.

Ha ha I had visions of your mum being like Susanne Sully in the Human League , only I could never remember OMD having a female singer.

I'm going to stick with my original vision if you don't mind Phil

Oh you tempter person, but no , Beaujolais Nouveau does absolutely nothing for me.

Having said that in my 20s we used to go to a wine bar and celebrate it and wait until the BN arrived the same day as it was released in France. It usually got to the wine bar by about 10pm and we were already bladdered by then .....which is possibly why I've never really appreciated BN.

Besides which I'm much more of a Bordeaux red fan than Burgundy.

We try the ones that come here as a sort of ritual but to be honest we don't think they are worth the money or effort and might just miss them this year .It was something the wife did whilst working and has just carried on from there .

Just an ordinary iPhone Val, mes bl used her phone too for some decent photos, although I suspect the photos you see on Tv are taken with a decent camera. I’ll check my “ Aurora Watch Uk “ App later to see if it’s worth going out again tonight.

I hope it is for you, I can’t even tell you how dark and miserable and pouring with rain it is here right now. We’ve even had a flood alert but luckily for us we’re up a hill. No northern lights for me tonight - I wish I’d taken the chance and gone last night.
