I'm going early on the NYE boozing, just finished a 9% Rochefort Trappist beer. Heading into town now. Shenguin will be furious. |

Morning!
We had a family outing into town today. I made my debut appearance at Wendy's. I spotted Felice's much vaunted 'Baconator' but wasn't overly hungry, so instead opted for a 'Dave's single' burger. Very nice, will definitely go again.
We also picked up a variety of ready meal Chinese food from M&S for tonights festivities*.
Games, still plodding around Disco Elysium in a confused manner. Up to about 12 hours now. Also considering buying 'Dredge' later.
*stopping in with the gang and being boring

I've got co-op salt & vinegar crisps for later. Probably a couple of beers, a G&T and contemplating 1/3rd of a chew. Have a Lazybones style psychedelic experience with the child and in-laws. Probably bottle it and not bother.

If you're drinking that much, it's a good idea to balance it out with a packet of crisps. It's the sensible thing to do.

The child will be up about 7am despite wanting to stay up for the Bells. I can't face that with a hangover.

Abdicating rather than shuffling off mortal coil.

A 9% beer is a strong start to a big session. Shows purpose and drive., If not very much sense.

Does veganism affect your eyesight? I don't know why they're shouting the Veg option, maybe Shenguin can advise. |

Does veganism affect your eyesight? You've confused veganism with masturbation. Easy mistake to make if you can't see well. |
