Finally managed to get my uncle over. He's not very worldly (depressed, probably autistic - just like his father) and is struggle with his first lady friend. I don't think he really needed advice (he seems to have a good grip on the situation) but wanted to talk to someone about it. I think it helped. And I got a feed, plus some free Greek yoghurt. Bonus.

Two long walks with the dogs & no alcohol. And probably as a consequence, I’ve slept really well. In my age these are more than little wins.

Back from a "holiday" to the Highlands. Lots of driving around between nice wee towns and incredible landscapes. But the real win is that I have just dossed around the house all weekend, and the car hasn't moved since Friday. Of course, there's next to no food on the house, but I feel chill af.
