Three weeks of no alcohol almost came to an end. My wife complained that she didn't want a life with a non drinker so that's that. She said "why can't you just have a drink now and then?" I don't know... I just can't. If I can have something then I have it a lot. One more week will break the record for longest without alcohol since I started. 
I had two friends visit today which was great. Friends who have known me for most of my life. It's always too long between us getting together but when we do meet there's zero difficulty, it's like we just met yesterday. I feel like that with very few people and when I see them I always wonder why I don't see them more. 
However, the house was hectic while they were here so I guess that explains why. Seeing my friends is like spinning plates, the one I saw longest ago gets to the front of visiting list. I guess I'm like that with family too. 
I made a soup today, carrot and coriander soup. I put it in the dishes and served three people who sipped it and said "I can't eat that" I ate mine, it was alright. 
I did feel disappointed but I guess they really did not like it, and that's allowed. I did another watercolour painting, copying a postcard which my auntie had sent and asked that I should try reproduce it. I enjoyed doing it but I immediately took a dislike to it, expecting that it would be amazing, it was a let down. Until it dried somewhat... And I stood back a bit , then it improved, so I left it stood and took another step back... And squinted a bit, stood back a bit more so it was far away. Finally....it looked ok.
