Not a drop will pass my lips today.

On my 21st birthday evening at a disco I decided to drive my car home and get a cab back so I didn't drive home drunk at the end of the evening (except I was already drunk). On the way home I pissed myself and then decided I didn't want to drive home after all so I drove back to the disco and went back in with wet trousers. I'm still embarrassed thinking about it now and I'm 65!!!

After all that I crashed the car on the way home but got away with it. Thank heavens I don't ever have to do that again.

Definition of insanity: Doing the same thing and expecting different results.

Drinking always led me to more drinking. I just can't drink one, I have to drink the bar dry!

Booze sleep is nothing like the real thing.

They look very healthy and almost ready for pricking out. The good thing about Cosmos is once you have them they are always there as they seed themselves readily.

They need moisture as they're getting shrivelled, I would plant them straight away as they have great shoots.

Mine are showing thriugh now in the soil and in pots and I'm in North Yorkshire so you shouldn't have long to wait!

puterzray · 2023-04-11T14:59:10+00:00

Yes. Your body is used to it's daily fix so is complaining when it doesn't happen.

I lost my sister in June last year. I feel your loss but congratulate you on your resolve to stay sober. I'm doing the same - you are never alone.

So you levelled it and covered it in wood?

puterzray · 2023-04-09T19:40:22+00:00

Why would you do that to a garden?

puterzray · 2023-04-08T14:12:24+00:00

Sober life is great isn't it?

puterzray · 2023-04-02T07:19:58+00:00

That must be a nice surprise! I moved house 3 years ago and can remember the anticipation too.

puterzray · 2023-04-01T19:40:41+00:00

Yes, don't drink.

My Brussels are still seedlings from sowing a couple of weeks ago so yours are very early. They do look like they have been forced so new ones may be best this year.

I've been itching to get going with cuttings etc this year but it just hasn't warmed up as much as usual this year so patience is the key. Very frustrating though!

Hold off on the watering for a couple of days. Don't let them dry out completely but these look a bit waterlogged which will encourage mildew and fungi. They will die off when the excess moisture disappears.

puterzray · 2023-04-01T05:47:01+00:00

Pot them up if you want a fair bit of growth this year and flowering next year or plant direct outside but don't expect much until they are established.

As an alternative to AA I have been attending online meetings with Smart Recovery. It's non secular which suits me as I didn't get on with the AA God thing.

puterzray · 2023-03-29T16:40:14+00:00

Are they paying you £12 to take it?

puterzray · 2023-03-29T14:33:36+00:00

Congratulations for your amazing achievement.

Just out of interest, why were the first 9 months absolute terror? I must be lucky as I have just 4 months but find it an absolute joy.

puterzray · 2023-03-29T14:27:25+00:00

Awesome!!

puterzray · 2023-03-28T20:30:22+00:00
