ABSTINENCE

is very hard when it comes to a nice glass of red wine.
I have been virtuous over the last week in carrying out temperance until Friday of this week when I am flying to Melbourne to meet my bridesmaid for the weekend (MrD and I are coming up for thirty-nine years this year).  I have a good feeling that wine will be consumed over the weekend and I figure I need to dry out beforehand.  I’m not interested in temperance where red wine is concerned.     

The blipped bottle is a very nice drop of Shiraz from the Margaret River region - if you’re interested.

Thanks to si_b for hosting Mono Monday this month.
