Another late night

From being normally very abstemious (OK, quite abstemious) we're having a bit of a riotous weekend. We ate in the Boars Head again last night, and were subsequently joined by Ian and Cath off Sanity. We just had the one drink there with them, as there was a 50th birthday party warming up and warning signs for an outbreak of karaoke later in the evening.

So we retreated to Sanity Again, where the drink, conversation, tales and jokes all flowed until the witching hour. Another brilliant evening, but a bit of a Brendan Behan morning. It was Behan who commented that it must be awful to be teetotal: "Just imagine waking up in the morning and knowing that's the best you're going to feel all day."

We managed a bit of a lie in, then pottered about getting stuff ready for the off tomorrow. It's just amazing how many chargers we're going to take; roll on the day when all electronic kit uses the same charger, preferably an induction based one that doesn't need actually connecting to the phone/modem/PMR radios/laptop/GPS receiver/toothbrush.

Actually, we already have that for the toothbrush.

This afternoon we ambled out to wind up Ian and Cath again as they were watering and dieseling Sanity; when I've done this blog, we'll give the boat a bit of a sweep through, I'll get a shower and we'll make a start on packing clothing before going back to the pub.

I need this holiday to recover from the weekend…
