Hi Weekenders

WaterOx,glad you’re back,

Bim, I’m still keeping an eye out for the big monster that travels at the speed of light, if he’s decided to move in for the winter months I hope he keeps out of my way!

MesaMan lovely photo, what a view!

Went to watch Downton Abbey at the cinema yesterday. Not usually my sort of film really but I enjoyed it. Maggie Smith was her brilliant self and I loved seeing the dress attire they wore though I’m pleased we’re not dressed like that nowadays, it’d take hours to get in those gowns. :dunno:

Vman lovely pic of mini Vman and pony.:)

Kaily, lovely Alfie pic.:)

Sunday morning, just gone 7am, it’s going to be a good day to be sober. :)

Mags I remember reading a while ago after having put a spider outside that they don't just come in for winter. Chances are they have lived in our houses their entire lives and come out of hiding to attract a mate. Also that they can die in the cold as not acclimatised.

As it was a frosty winters night I felt really guilty so I went back outside retrieved said spider from the plant pot and bought it back in the warm.

Give him a name and love him. :lol:

By the way I am not a fan either but couldn't bare the thought that I had evicted it from its home or it freezing to death. :dunno:

Good to see you WaterOx! I'm sorry that you relapsed but 7 months was a decent stretch so hopefully it will just take some analysis and a few tweaks to make it permanent this time.

Great pics btw did Alfie find his ball or is that a new one?

That is one of his 'park' balls. Never found his home ball, think the foxes might of pinched it from the garden. He has a nice new one now.

He got very grumpy when another dog looked at his ball yesterday. Just look at his face, not going to risk losing another one!

Good boy Alfie :)

Keep the momentum up WaterOx - and post here.

Long walkies with a friend. Down by the sea- gray, overcast with rain- love it.

WaterOx, talk it out, it helps.

I think you can be permanently off the drink, too. I made the commitment every morning to go to bed sober. I went to meetings for a few months, and I logged into and posted every day on this site in my Class of March thread.

We stand behind and beside you here in Weekenders.

Kaily I would love to have a horse. Sounds expensive...the vet bills alone.

Yes it is expensive Bim although I did it as cheaply as possible. DIY livery. I was up at the stables feeding, mucking out and turning out my horse 6 am every morning before going to work. Back again in the evening after work. It just became a way of life. Before all day drinking took over.

Exciting news. It is raining and my neighbour has actually moved the bbq. No more drip drip drip.

Hope I don't miss it. :lmao:

kaily, that was really kind bringing mr. spider back in. He will surely thank you by keeping the fly population down! If my mr. spider has finds a mate that means there’ll be lots of little spiders too! :eek:

Thanks everyone. Much appreciated. I'll be checking in here at least 3 times today. Morning, noon and evening- because one day at a time is too long right about now lol!

As for talking it out, I think maybe I'll post something in the general forum.

Ahh, great time catching up on this thread! I love Alfie, Kaily. Thanks for sharing photos of him.

Same old same old in the life of dpac. Zoo, home, relaxing, bed, work tomorrow. Next friday is off work for me (PTO day) and it's gonna be LIT by which I mean I'm gonna sleep a lot.

Have a good sunday everyone! Might check back in later.

Kaily, that Alfie looks like a great pup :)

Hi WaterOx - 7 months is a great accomplishment. Welcome back to the light.

Grateful for the weekend support of this thread and all the support I get on SR!!

You can do it WaterOx.

We are all rooting for you. :c014:

You guys.

Tuesday is World Gorilla Day.

Please recycle your electronics! (Cell phone, laptop, tablet.)

WaterOx - hold on to this site.

It feels like summer has finally departed here too with wind and light rain. Hey ho. As usual at this time the World Conker Championships are under way. This year's Final is between two Germans. Horst Chestnut vs Hans Hurting.

Haha ! :)

not that old chestnut Sao!

Made it through the morning. Off to the gym then back home.
