Well this blog is going to be quick – bullet points maybe? I wonder if it is easier to blog at night? Possibly the fact that I’ve just drunk half a bottle of wine helps in some way?

1. Do I have a drink problem?

No, not at all – locating and consuming alcohol comes naturally to me. This should set a few minds at rest. Actually I think this is the most I’ve drunk all week, the bonus being that when you don’t drink for a while that lovely happy ‘the world is a wonderful place’ feeling kicks in quite quickly. Or depending on the time of the month it could equally be ‘I’m am Evil Cow and I'll argue with you about absolutely anything’ feeling. There really isn’t any need to leave any comments about this one.

2. Does the fact that I’ve consumed a couple of glasses of wine affect my spelling & punctuation?

No, nothing to fear on that one. Rest assured it’s as bad as it’s always been.

3. I am now an ‘Enlightened Sage’.

Impressive or what? 971650 points on Rocket Mania. I came so close to finding out the next rank and if the bloody antivirus database hadn’t chosen that exact moment to check for updates I may have hit the dizzy heights of Enlightened Basil or Parsley.

4. Quick flash back to childhood.

So who remembers The Herbs? Yes, it doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out that I do. I also remember the password (Herbidacious) and all of the songs the characters used to sing.

What can I say – I was a telly addict as a child. If I ever went on Mastermind (OK, you can get off the floor now, you look a right fool lay down there laughing) – children’s television programmes of the 70’s would be my specialist subject. The Herbs were the brain child of Michael Bond – he of Paddington Bear frame.

5. Picture?

Haven’t taken any for a few days. You’ll just have to have an IOU instead.
