Well, here I am the day after stumbling on the road to responsible drinking I posted about in July. Why do I blog about these things? I do it to expose one of my many flaws, hoping to minimise any appearance of me being some bleating, self righteous God botherer. I will do a bit …

For those of us that are no longer thirty-somethings and who have done the family-thing life may now be seeming…different. On the one hand I am comfortable in my own skin and on the other…well, it finds me out in foreign suburbs at hours when only magpies are awake. I had long wondered what my …
