"La première quinzaine" ... or should that strictly be "quatorzaine"?

ELAPSED 14 / 352 REMAINING

I'm at the end of two weeks teetotalism at midnight tonight ... this is the longest in a LONG time that I've gone without any alcohol of some sort.

I've always liked to think of myself as a "low input" social drinker, and have even thought of myself as being teetotal in the past, but I've always kidded myself into believing myself.

But now the reality of actually making it to the end of the year is beginning to make its presence felt, and talking to colleagues today I actually said - with a modicum of truth as it happens - that I feel like I've "woken up", that the general "fug" that has been my head - particularly in the mornings - is beginning to lift. Maybe it's all in my head, if you'll excuse the pun, but I really feel like Father Jack in the Father Ted Episode 'Alcohol, Cigarettes & Rollerblading', all the alcohol finally having left my system.

Luckily I've not had to shout "Don't tell me I'm still on that feckin' island!"
