Being sensible.
This prolonged period of lockdown is making blogging very dull. Nothing is happening of any real importance in my life . My friends are not here in Cornwall. By this time they would be coming and going and making my life interesting for the most part. I am still chatting on the phone but as yet we are reluctant to plan anything until we actually know how long this quiet period will continue. I am getting emails from the big hotels in the village because I have made enquiries about their opening times. Two of the big ones are planning to start up in July so I’m thinking about maybe booking in for a week since my usual cruise is definitely out this year. Staying st one of the hotels seems a bit over the top....when I have everything here at home thst I’ll ever need. I am in no danger of running out of booze but this means that I am being very careful not to drink too much. I don’t want to end up dependant on it. But it does help! A glass of wine with my meal followed by another glass or two approaching bed time keeps me happy and fairly sober but having had an alcoholic father I am all too aware of the dangers involved. It’s not going to happen to me I tell myself and mean it....so I think I’m safe....just about. But if I’m not drinking too much life is very dull. I’ve seen more TV than ever before, sometimes staying up very late to watch an interesting film. i have never watched so much TV. Playing games with people I don’t know keeps my brain ticking over during the day and that’s another way of meeting people...Life is certainly not dull....far from it but I am trying to stay aware of the dangers....oh dear! Do I really need to be sensible all the time? Probably yes is the answer to thst! But I don’t want to be boring either! So....on we go...hic!

Not sure about being sensible? Being careful to control what you drink makes sense, particularly from your experience of life with a drink dependent father.
I can be smug as being teetotal, unless I overdose on Orange Juice, I will probably be safe enough.
Glad you are thinking of going to a hotel, local enough for you to bail out home if you get tired of it all. But near some things you might like to do, perhaps sailing or boat trips, although, you probably know the coast line like the back of your hand. Not like "Joey" in your book, who was a stranger in Cornwall. (I still remember it, and recently reread it on my Kindle).
Luckily I don't have a drinking problem
I drink.
No problem.
Why stay in a local hotel, you wouldn’t feel like you’ve been away. if you don’t want to venture outside of Cornwall why not try a different area, There are some amazing hotels to be found. You could even use your regular taxi driver if you didn’t want to drive there.
