Just a quick note from me this week, folks, as I’m a bit wrung (strung?) out to be honest. What a rollercoaster that was. A massive initial rush (of noms) followed by some milder highs and mellow lows and while it did get a bit heavy at the end, Mary Lou helped me get my head together again. Thanks Mary Lou. Be careful with those Class-As, folks.
Even the Class Bs caught me out a bit after a nice fuzzy stoned introduction it all got a bit speedy and then nearly disappeared down the proverbial K-hole. This time I’m indebted to the Fun Loving Criminals for lightening my mood.
Let’s face it, I’m just too old for all this illicit drugs malarkey. I’m off to take some Nurofen and a couple of Kalms and might have a little lie down …
