Last night I went to the pub to meet a bunch of local women who I hadn’t met before – it was a social organised by some of the “Real Housewives of Meersbrook” Facebook group members. I went with Fee who is my partner in crime when it comes to drinking (and running!!) Ordinarily I would have been well up for several drinks to relax and feel confident meeting new people. However, it’s dry June for me so I drank 3 pints of soda water. I had the best time chatting and getting to know some local folk. I met a neighbour who I’ve never really spoken to before and we had a great time. She and Fe came back to ours and stayed for a whiskey whilst I had an alcohol free G&T. I stayed up late and had a great time. This morning I woke up feeling fresh as a daisy (well, I didn’t get the best night’s sleep ’cause of all the soda water but I didn’t have a hang over!) The morale of this story is I don’t need alcohol to enjoy myself!
