Awake and up all night

does anyone else suffer from hayfever? i am really bad today. 

Hello Brian, I confess to not actually playing dominoes, cards or darts but enjoy the atmosphere in village pubs created by the often flat capped participants as they concentrate on out smarting each other. Even better in the Winter if there's a real log fire giving the whole place a woody scent. I tended to be a solitary drinker, gently unwinding over a pint or two of Hooky after a hectic day at work, maybe having a chat to the landlord. I hardly drink at all now and have not been to a pub for well over two years. Most of the tied Hook Norton houses have been sold, becoming private residences or sometimes a free house. I liked the Theakston offshoot Black Sheep brewery's bitter but have not seen that anywhere round here for quite a while. Memories of the happy days of youth are a good resource when faced with the realities of getting older. There are still happy times of course, even when in hospital. When I was in recovering from sepsis in late 2018, the chap in the next bed turned out to be a retired main line steam loco fireman. He kept all of us interested and amused by his stories, as did the ex-army chaps opposite who were in with stoma problems. The only thing missing was a beer trolley and a bell for last orders. Best wishes, Ray
