Got back from our meal about half eight or so, and we had the same plan as the last time we stayed in a hotel room together. I said I'd sit in the bathroom until the boys fell asleep while Clare went down to the bar, then I'd go out for a bit when she came back. Actually Clare offered to sit in then while I went out instead, very kind. This was the breaking of my dryanuary booze fast, so quite exciting. I thought about a pub called The Fellow right by the hotel and briefly about trying the Water Rats but remembered that the Parcel Yard1 in Kings Cross was quite good so headed there. And it was great! Much bigger than I remembered, I must only have popped in briefly before. It's all Fullers so I had a couple of old Gales beers, and they were good. Took my MagPi magazine with me, but it was too dim and I am too blind to read it. When I got back to the hotel the boys were sleeping nicely, and after finishing Clare's wine, so was I. Thing two was up again before 7am, nice one...
dryanuary: Not drinking for all of January.
