Going without

desperanceIt's about this time of day I like to open a bottle of wine and munch on savoury snacks while I computerise.
I have several friends who become suddenly and unaccustomedly abstemious in January, forswearing alcohol for the whole of the month, in a kind of detox I-can-do-this demonstration sort of a way. Two of them came down for lunch in Durham (Gateway to the South), so we drank only water with the bread and cheese and olives.
This evening? All I want is a cup of tea and a mince pie, apparently. I guess perhaps my body is reacting to this last week, when I may possibly have drunk more than usual.
That's fine. And I do have some very nice teas. But - well, one day's enough, surely...?
