Smallpiper, I thank you for your diplomacy. Raggy, where were you when I needed you....???? Have only just recovered from a weekend of abject drunken foolishness. I bow to Johnny-boy's superior skills in the art of Alcohol consumption. Thursday night is a total blur, as was the first half of friday. Oh, well. I possess skills in other areas.....!

Saturday night was a joyous occasion, reuniting with brother Oakley for musical frivolity, marred only by his singular lack of breasts and the reek of garlic emanating from his every pore! And Sunday night was splendid at the Sun Inn with the lovely Nik-Nak. A top weekend, and thanks to all who kept me out of trouble.

And I have given up Whisky forever.
