I'm actually ok today, although I went to meet this friend, had a few beers and er.. some shots, more than I should have had, and to a quite snazzy bar and had a few cocktails, only 2 but, you know, after beers and shots it's quite a lot.. and today I'm feeling kind of tired, mild headache but not much more, actually it's less than I usually suffer after more than 2 beers so maybe evening it all out with cocktails does something ;)<br /><br />it's a nice day anyway, and if I can get out there before 3 o clock might enjoy some sunshine..Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01639879112148818986noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13855432.post-77839682926105061442013-11-15T17:34:13.194+01:002013-11-15T17:34:13.194+01:00I do hope you're not suffering tomorrow, thoug...I do hope you're not suffering tomorrow, though I suspect that's too much to hope.

I'll be back though, hopefully refreshed, and raring to go at it again, all supposing of course you're around and of the same mind. I note it's Friday, and if you're true to form, you'll be going out.

Halve that and you get a shilling, which if I remember rightly, was 12 old pence, which is about 5 new pence... which is fast becoming redundant due to inflation.
