I've always been good at making untruthful statements - hell, I've lied
to the cops and to the magistrate when up on speeding  charges.  Did  no
good: the cop in the witness box is always  believed, the surly figure in
the dock,  black leather jacket and fingernails to match, is
by definition lying.  Guilty!
Some time ago, one of the lady volunteers delivered a meals on wheels
instalment and asked Oh what have you done to your  face?
What I'd done was go  down like a felled tree on entering the kitchen in
the evening to get a refill. The left side of my head struck the eating
shelf and there was a small cut and  some bruising below the left eye.
"Got into a fight in a bar," I replied instantly, "over a woman, you
know how it goes .... "
Oh my God!  she cries  Oh how awful!
"You should have seen the other guy, " I told her and added: "He's still
in hospital.  My case comes up on Tuesday next week."
By this time the poor soul was practically swooning on the doorstep so I
took pity on her and told her I was only  kidding.
This kindof thing  has happened loads of times over the years: seems if
you keep your face in its
usual melancholy configuration, you can tell people anything and they'll
swallow it.

Ian I think you are so bright and loads of fun. You've worked so hard
to regain your peace of mind and a quiet home.

That is preamble to my saying: falling and injuring yourself en route
to a refill is fairly secure proof there have been too many refills
already. I think you know this, you make references to the cases of
scotch and being the town drunk. But you've never written that you've
actually injured yourself. I'm worried. I used to wake up with
unexplained bruises, cuts, all of that. If not on the floor proper.

That was almost 12 years ago and these years of sobriety have been the
best of my life.

This is likely none of my business but if a friend won't tell you I
don't know who will.
