I've gone alcohol free today for the first Christmas Day since my teens. No particular reason, just didn't fancy it. And I have to say, I've enjoyed the day a hundred times more than normal for it.

I take it you have not turned the telly on ?

Back in Sussex
Paulaner weissbier whilst cooking, Mayerling Creme D'Alsace with the starter, Alsace Pinot Blanc/Amalaya Malbec/Wallace McLaren Vale Shiraz Grenache with the turkey, Royal Tokaj Late Harvest with dessert. Shame my parents aren't big drinkers and have left me to finish the remnants !!! We never got to the cheese board and Port

West is BEST
A heady combination of tea, iced water and pop. I’m 3 hours into a 13 hour night shift.

A very late start after a load of Stoli last night following Midnight mass.

Luckily this meant I was sober to take one of the dogs to the vets this afternoon before a late dinner. Austrian white as aperitif, St Emillion with dinner, rum punch, more Stoli, Sloe Gin. Saving the Port for my return from the Amex.

Sussex, by the sea
Quick run with the dog first thing, coffee fruit and egg on toast, food prep, turkey in
DoW for a few pints of Dark star APA
Finished food prep, ate with a nice Barolo.
Cheese and port to wind up.

Probably drank 2L of fizzy water as well. No hangover!

I ended up on white wine pretty much all day at a sensible pace (aside from a beer when I arrived). What felt like non-stop eating for 10 hours probably saved me. Got home at 11pm and sat in front of the telly with a JD & Coke, started nodding off, went to bed.

Woke up this morning, scampered to the toilet like a monkey carrying its young - and... I can tell you Southern Water will be earning their money today. :ohmy:
