Golly I feel so guilty for neglecting my blog! I can’t believe
I haven’t posted since July, but things have been a little hectic with wedding
planning, house sorting and work. I’m going to make sure I post more regularly
now however, because I do love me blog I do.
SO! Tom and I have been taking part in Sober October with a
few of our friends and we’re just about to venture into our second alcohol-free
weekend. We decided to do it partly because we’re ‘shredding for the wedding’
(only five months to go now!) and also because cracking open a beer or a bottle
of wine on a Friday night was becoming a bit of a routine.
Our first Sober October weekend came with two challenges.
Firstly the England v Australia Rugby World Cup match, which was a mix of sulking and
celebrating. While I wanted to drown my sorrows with a glass or two, Tom was
all set to crack open the champers and celebrate our woeful defeat, being the
proud Welshman that he is.
Our second challenge was Sunday lunch. We booked a table at
The Sun, which is one of our favourite restaurants. The food was absolutely
divine as always. The only thing missing was a nice glass of red with our roast
beef… but we settled for elderflower pressé (in wine glasses!)
Despite those two situations which definitely warranted a
tipple or two, I’m actually quite surprised how much I’m enjoying Sober October
(so far anyway, it’s early days yet!) But it is quite nice waking up on a
Saturday or Sunday morning with no foggy head, not wanting to sleep-in or eat
junk food and having a productive day instead of slobbing out on the sofa. Let’s
see how the second weekend goes!
Are you taking part in Sober October? Let me know how you’re
getting on!
