Day #97: Christmas Tree Hunting
Shh, don’t tell anyone…
My sugars this morning? 4.1 
Today was a fantastic day. I was seven different kinds of bad in terms of being kind to my digestive system, but hey, a guy needs a break right, and I wasn’t that bad….
We went out into the bush with some friends for a “hike” and took along some salad and green juice, and also some “tofu dogs” - they’re shih tzus but tastier and less yappy, mulled wine and a hip flask of whisky.
Our friends took along actual meat smokies, and some coffee with baileys. Once we’d found a nice spot on our hike, we made a fire and got to business, what a great time! I had a lovely salad, and also, the “tofu dogs” - that’s actually what they’re called I swear, tasted phenomenal after being cooked over the raw flames of the fire - man they were good.
I had a few nips of whisky during the day, a lovely taste of the baileys coffee, and the mulled wine was great. It felt good to be alive! Now you might think - whoa Chris! you’ve gone a bit over board there haven’t you mate, that’smoving way too fast, and I think you’re probably right, but everything was in moderation, and we all shared, plus there’s no way I could drink too much, even the smell of most of it was enough to make me slightly giddy.
After getting back, my wife actually had juice for tea / dinner / supper and I had another salad - talk about role reversal, and then we watched the first 2 thirds of American Gangster. It’s unravelling as an excellent film, and the only reason we didn’t watch it all is so we could get a semi early night and get some DIY done tomorrow.
So, I’ll wrap this up for now, at the end of a fantastic Canadian outdoors winter day with friends.
‘night.
