Back again

It's been a good long while since I posted anything. Long dull story. However, I've been moved to restart this as I've begun a four week challenge - Just Water. This is a WaterAid fundraiser and requires me to drink nothing but water. No tea, coffee, hot chocolate. Even weird teas are out if made with teabags. I'm allowed lemon and ginger tea if I make it with lemon juice and chopped root ginger, otherwise, not.
More to the point wines, beers and gin are forbidden. Just after Christmas and New Year this seems a blessing but I know in a week or so I'll be wanting a glass of chilled white wine on Friday evening. This gives me a reason to resist. Yes, this fundraiser is for purely selfish reasons - to give me a reason to manage a 4 week detox. Well done WaterAid!
I have a JustGiving page. Feel free to help me along in raising money to support Deliver Life. As WaterAid notes:
Every minute a newborn baby dies from infection caused by a lack of safe water and an unclean environment. It doesn't have to be this way. This winter, join us as we follow remarkable mums and midwives delivering life around the world, and be part of our biggest ever appeal. With every penny you give doubled by the UK Government, we can reach 130,000 mums and their families with safe water – giving them a brighter start and a better future.
This is important. Chip in if you can.
