That was my first drink since my wife and I were in Crete in August last year, it was also the first time I have ever had a drink with my Grandson, and I was [in case you didn't notice] inordinately pleased to do so. He's having a hard time adjusting to university life, I know most students probably do but I think it's more difficult sometimes when they come from a background such as the Isle of Man. Essentially we're a smallish community, and somewhat insular, so to go from that to a much larger society, and to do it on your own, can be fairly daunting.
All in favour of drunken rants though, unlikely to produce any personally but happy to be the subject of one perhaps, or to award points.
Advance warning, I shall be dipping my toes into the American election process once more, in the very near future, but I'll probably spare you to torture of ignoring it and blog it instead, no need to thank me, just post the cheques.
