This is a conversation I dont want to have

There’s one picture of a young starling that says to me “don’t eat chicken”. There’s character in the spiked up feathers on the top of his head and you can see that there’s a bright brain behind his eyes. Every now and then, I give in and buy some delicious sweet chilli chicken and rice, but this doesn’t happen very often. I’ve stopped buying chicken and it must have been at least six months when I last did that. Any other meat, I don’t eat – except for the crispy shreaded chilli beef with rice the other day, because I needed it.

My point is that I’m almost vegetarian, in the same way as I’ve given up drtinking. My intake has reduced markedly. You could almost say that I do eat meat, but I don’t buy my own. All of which brings me to Christmas, when I’m just going to accept the lovely meals I’m served and enjoy them. Me not drinking is enough of a complication – except for when I have a drink. Not drinking breaks up the known usual state of things. I’m not disrupting things by drinking, I’m doing it by not drinking all f which gives me a little control by not being resonsible for anything stupid. Of course, I could just pre-load a couple of days before and get my drinking out of the way!

I’m taking up a whole couch with a table

I might give this space up soon, but there’s nothing worse than sitting on the edges on a rubbish chair and not feeling or looking like you belong. So. I’m sitting and typing and owning my space for a little while. This makes me feel that I should and could be doing something better. If I’m doing things right it should look as if I should be doing something better. And it’s about time that I did, if I could work out what that was.

I wonder where other people blog. Not many laptops are to be seen in pubs (or taprooms). Maybe I’m the only person who writes stuff anymore. Maybe there’s few enough people out there doing this. I need to keep going out and see who I meet.

Bugger. That would have been great if meet was word 400 instead of 378. To be fair, it was close and magic almost happened!
