The third day of Dry January and thus far all is going well. We have had a couple of days of beautiful winter sunshine and took the opportunity to take a walk on the nearby beach at Kamchia on New Year’s Day and yesterday.
Today has been for relaxing at home. The twilight sky was a kaleidoscope of soft colours, slowly shifting in shape and spectral frequency.
While all is going well, I do miss the ritual of marking the end of the day with a drink. Hopefully this will become easier as the month progresses and new habits become established. I am hoping that my energy levels will increase but today I just felt a bit tireder than usual. I know this is something that fluctuates. I think the quality of my sleep is slowly improving. I guess that in these first few days of abstinence my body is adjusting to the new order. As is my mind!

The answers for yesterday’s questions:

Today’s questions:
- In UK, what “proof” is a bottle of 40% ABV vodka?

See you tomorrow! Keep safe and well. Good luck if you are also trying to be abstinent, whatever the reasons – stay strong.
