The Importance....

....cannot be underestimated. I walked past the Beard and Cardigan and didn't go in for a pint.

Admittedly, I was walking on the outside of the pedestrian fence and so there was a physical barrier to entrance, but it was an important personal control moment. Flushed with success, later, I visited the Persevere in Easter Road with Ozzy cousins Combie and Jordy and drank several pints of ale in celebration of my abstinence. Well done me.
