You're welcome mate.

Considering the 40%, it had to be an outstanding kind of a hangover.

Glad to know you feel better. And I can understand that it is nice to have such a ritual to remember your father by.

Every year I go on a bicycle tour, as part of a remembrance ritual. When I'm in the village of Grolloo, I'll drink one or two beers as a salute to my Dad and then get back home. It does feel good that way.

I totally get that, I don't think I would have before but it seems important and it is a thing of comfort. Your's sounds a bit better than one though. Maybe I will have to jazz mine up and go somewhere rather than rolling about my back garden shouting at the sky, LOL!

Mine took its form over time. It is a 45 Km trip. The beer tastes really good after that. Going back the same 45, after that, is a real pain... But worth it every time.

The rolling about shouting you did sounds like the start of a valuable remembrance ritual that can be extended very well in the years to come. :-)
