Swim classes and Chucky Cheese (pizza restaurant for kids) this weekend. Thankfully the swim classes are indoor and pool is heated. Good opportunity our 4 year old ready for Spring/Summer swimming.

Also trying to do a dry January. Did wayyyy too much drinking the past few months. Mostly holding back to lose some weight.

Same same. Doing a mostly dry January and February. I have a ski trip at the end of the month and I WILL be drinking champagne in the hot tub.

Flying to the Canary Islands for two weeks on Monday, to enjoy some winter sunshine. The forecast for next week is big fat sun symbols as far as the eye can see.

Needless to say, I won't be doing dry January. I haven't had a single drink this week though. It's relatively rare that I have a full week without at least one unit of alcohol involved.

Yeah, drinking has really become habitual for me since the pandemic. I've cut back over the last year, but it's still been rare to go without a couple drinks once or twice a week.

I just love craft beer so much! And imbibing goes with everything lol.

Come to think of it, I guess I should drink more, heh. I seldom do...

My heart skipped a beat at the thought I might be a bit too addicted to TA, but turns out I'm in Seoul this time around so I cannot take responsibility for what my fellow countrymen are up to

As for my Fridays, I tried to make the most of the winter here in Korea by snowboarding and ice skating for hours last week. Then I went to see two of my favourite local DJs. Now the blisters have burst, the adrenaline has dissipated, and the painful reminder that I've been spinning around on this cold hard rock for more than forty years has made me realise that I should have worn an extra pair of socks. Either way, I had the time of my life, and now I'm walking around campus like Robocop

How much of a British thing is it to drink at the airport, regardless of what time of day it is? Our flight is at 7am, and I guarantee there'll be people at the airport bar getting trashed even at that hour.

I personally try to avoid it for longer flights because I don't want to be up and down the gangway pissing for the whole journey, but it is definitely a temptation.

Personally, I don't think I've ever seen anyone drinking that much at an airport, with the exception of the occasional VIP lounge patron. Isn't it too expensive?

But then, I've only once had a beer because it came with the chips I had ordered, so maybe my sample distribution is probably heavily skewed.

Extreme what

Airport drinks are my favourite drinks!


A couple years ago I went to the Montreal Grand Prix (Formula 1) and was sat next to a dude at the airport bar who was also going for race weekend. We chatted about our kids + family, parenting, etc. He thought he was on the same flight as me, but wasn't, and ended up missing his boarding time, and had to get on standby for the next available flight. Whoops.

I mean, it's an airport, everything is overpriced! I usually just arrive, drop my bags, and avoid spending money as much as possible until boarding time

Come to think of it, though, it might be a regional difference. When I had the beer in Chile, I thought it was funny that they had the beer tap alongside the chips (as in fries, not Ruffles), especially since the friend who was there with me spotted it first and we were starving. As a matter of fact, I was genuinely shocked when flying Lufthansa on my way here that I could have alcoholic beverages with my meal. I don't think that was ever an option in Brazil, I don't recall seeing anything remotely ethylic on the food cart when flying through the Middle East, and I had wine this time on my flight simply because I was stunned that it was even an option... and because that's as far as my German got me
