Cold light

I think it is fair to say that after last night’s efforts, it took me a little while to come-to today.

A couple of brews had little to no impact on my general well-being, a shower slowly brought me round and then a brief brisk walk along the prom cleared some of the clouds from my mind, but not from the bay itself.

A disappointing McDonalds breakfast brought some stability and then I was finally ready to return home to collect the wee ones who had been having a sleepover at my parents. I was greeted with hugs, pointing and laughter by my offspring who were more interested in “how many did you have, Dad?” than any care for my well being.

I must have looked a state though as my Dad told me to go and have a lie-down on the sofa and he’d bring me a cup of tea! He’s a good man.

The rest of the day passed with a little light loafing, but when I was feeling a little more in the land of the living, we took a wander into town so they could spend some pocket money and I could treat us all to some hot chocolates from Kakaw (they are amazing).

The hot chocolate kicked in and with a second wind in my sails, we were joined by some friends for tea and we hung out until it was time for bed and the disappointing finale to The Perfect Couple.
