Settling back in

It's been nice to be warm today

This evening I watched a very good documentary about David Baddiel and his family's struggle with their fathers PICKS disease. What a happy and realistic family they seem to be.

I had to smile when I opened the fridge this evening to find two chilled bottles of wine, one of two which I bought to 'bring to the party ' before I realised drinking alcohol and having medication wasn't something that I could manage sensibly and before I realised carrying bags of bottles could hurt my shoulders.

Two bottles of the same brand and vintage had been majorly consumed. One bottle had about a cm left in it and another had about a third left. I don't mind they've been opened and partially drunk in my absence (I've drank enough wine from my parents in law cellar over the years) what perplexed me is why one would leave a single cm of wine in the bottom of a bottle and put it back in the fridge and then, presumably, open a new bottle of the exact same wine. Je ne sais pas :-)

One sad note that I want to record in my blip (diary) is that on Friday I was enjoying a cream tea in Wigan and meters away someone ended their life by jumping onto railway tracks, she had 4 children, it's awful to read the details now they are emerging. I can only hope that I'm aware enough to help a friend if they felt so desperate, it just reiterates the importance of talking to others and also the importance of finding good, solid, dependable friends
