Swimming in cider


Jesus, I’m a bit squiffy.
Haven’t been drinking much since Mathew was born, but Philippa offered to drive today, and Ted’s son Alan brought some home-made strawberry cider.
Jesus.
Sounds a bit sickly and a bit too heavy on the fruit ingredients, but it tasted like squash and was soooooooo easy to drink too much of.
So I drank too much of it.
I then found myself enthusiastically roaring on Scotland in their Women’s World Cup match against England, because I’d forgotten they were playing England and I wanted to support the nearest team to my home. I think it was halfway through half-time before someone pointed out my mistake, which they did by calling me a ‘wazzock’ and throwing a pork pie at my head.
The drive home went by in a mixture of blurred hedges, my chin hitting my chest, and me talking 1000-words-per-minute about some really weird shit.
Now I am trying to clear my head enough to be able to untie my shoelaces, because that simple task seems to be baffling me and I don’t want to fall asleep with my trainers on.
