LinesLines…. it’s a brick. First of the lates and the usual greeting with Liberty of 3 more days!  Bit of a slow start, the hardest HBB supported by Ash.  Generally other than value think it was an alright day but a cheeky add line may have saved me.  A few mobile lines help too.

Still feeling a bit shit but I will survive!  Struggle to get up this morning.  Am late in, Lib is worried!  In the evening I struggle to eat tea, just not in the mood for it.

Way home and another pint of the Naughty Hooker and a wee nip of Black Bush.  It’s not often I have a whiskey but have been chatting with a fella in Crumlin and feel like one tonight.
