We knew the weekend was going to be a challenge with his days off and such hot weather. The Black Dog decided he was overdue for a visit and a massive funk descended over the house on Sunday.

DB had a horrible family call early Saturday 6am, his sister asking in a little tiny voice could DB go get her. Being in another country it was a tad hard, DB spoke with her for over an hour, she was back home in their bungalow and safe but divulged she has been put on 100g serequel and is now only drinking 1/2 a bottle of vodka a day, instead of the whole big bottle, says she can't give it up. Her husband checking how much she drinking so let's him know about the 4 beers. Sadly we learned his sister had been hospitalised with seizures just prior to Xmas with DT's, been released but still drinking, longest she has ever gone is 3 days. He thinks she will drink herself to death.
