Looking forward to my first pint in weeks, having almost completed Dry Feb. Basically Dry Jan was out of the question as a few big social events happen then in my neck of the woods, so decided to lay off it for Feb instead. Also it's shorter, which is ideal. Anyway, first pub visit in a while tomorrow night. Quietly excited.

Score. I do a month off each year, dry Jan starting usually about the 3rd (party dependant!) til the first 6n kick off. Good for the soul. And I do recommend it. Lent the other option. Take it easy my advice, first night and first hangover is hard!

Away to a whisky festival tomorrow and very much looking forward to it! Also getting my (broken) car picked up to get repaired. I've been planning myself a road trip to send it off.

You're a harder man than me to have done your lengths like that

Breast stroke was fine enough. Front a painful exercise. Fingers crossed it's a sprain? I heard a crack :(

Yeah, I'm actually slightly apprehensive about the hang! My missus and sister have also randomly booked us into this local wild sauna place where they have a sauna on a beach and then you have to run into the North Sea. Feels like it could be a Kill or Cure moment.

As I understand it there's not much to be done for a broken toe besides possibly binding it to the next-door toe anyway, right?

Nice. What was the topic of the day then? Far too much Trump and AI in my life currently. Hence why I try to avoid posting that myself here!
