Back home

We got back from the short holiday in Jersey today... to this wonderful cake that our daughter had baked for us.


Here is a shot of St Aubin harbour - I took three shots my son then "stitched" them together in PhotoShop... clever isn't it?

I drank for masculinity and it sapped my potency; I drank medicinally and got sick. I drank because I thought my job called for it and lost my job. I drank to stimulate thought and blacked out. I drank to make conversation and got to where I couldn't talk at all; I drank to forget and became haunted. I drank for freedom...
