A week from today I’ll be in The Netherlands at Marillion Weekend. Ouddorp to be precise.
By this time next week I am likely to be well on my way to being severely drunk. I’m actually slightly concerned about my drinking capacity these days. I’m out of training. I used to be out most weekends but in recent years I have seriously reined that in and I’m not entirely sure I can do the all day drinking these days. Actually, I probably can. It’s the all day hangover the next again day which I can’t do.
I always make the same mistake every Marillion Weekend. Go bonkers on the Friday and suffer on the Saturday and Sunday. Last time around, I really struggled because the hungover me really struggled to deal with the fact that only wine or beer was available in the hall where the gigs take place (when I’m rough I can just about manage spirits and mixers but wine and lager leave me toiling).
I think I need a plan this year. Soft drinks in between the alchies?
That’s got “best laid plans…..” written all over it.

I hope you have a good time, and you manage your drinking so you don’t feel like crap the rest of the weekend!

Haha – did this come off?
It was great wasn’t it?
