1, Go headlong in to Morris Dancing.
After seeing the way the Scots of all ages totally embrace their Celtic culture at the Loopallu Festival in September I've decided to embrace the English folk culture.
a)' cos it's good fun
b) 'cos it's a bit bonkers
c) 'cos it's a damn good workout
Hankies Ahoy!!
2, Sort out my damn drinking.
I drink too much and have finally admitted to myself that I have a (small) drinking problem. I like real ale too much and consume too much at one time. So -
From now on I'm only drinking cask ale. If I'm somewhere where there isn't a choice of cask ale, I will drink a soft drink rather than drink horrible fizzy keg crap or bottled beer.
I'm going to stop keeping bottled beer in the house. Although not bad, a bottled beer is never as good as a well kept pint of cask ale so what's the point of drinking it for the sake of having a drink?
I will limit myself to three pints in one session so I can still play my whistle at the end of the evening.
I'm only going to drink on a Friday night at the local folk sessions with these exceptions
- After a Sunday walk with a pub lunch (very rare)
- After Morris practice on a Wednesday (Max 2 pints and possibly alternative weeks only)
- The occasional weekend when we have more than one social engagement.
- When on holiday.
This should hopefully help some of my mental problems as well.
