Did someone mention dry January?

What an afternoon. A drive to Grasmere to try and locate a rattle in the Fiesta. Back home, a quick drink (tea) and I was about to set off to the shops for bread and fish. I had my jacket on when my husband discovered a missed phone message. So I returned the call (to a social worker re my Aunt's discharge from hospital). Jacket on again and off for the food ...... without my phone. So no blip and no mileage/'steps counted. Out again with camera and phone having manually added estimated mileage from before. Thought the village Christmas lights might have been on but they weren't. In the end it was either the lights of the Golden Rule or the Apple Pie. 

I need a drink.
