Extremely demanding hang-over cure
The morning after the Admiral’s boating adventure saw us waking up in ones and twos, comparing notes on head-aches and how badly we’d slept. I did quite well. Some poor unfortunates slept beside a world-championship snorer. We could feel his snores reverberate through the floor. It was quite impressive.
Then the Admiral had an Idea. You have to be quite wary of these Ideas; they often involve getting lost up mountains or starting up literary magazines. But we played along, to find ourselves tramping through woods, throwing sticks to the household dog, and feeling our hangovers ebb away in the face of Nature. I’ve not been exposed to Nature since my scouting days, and this was quite a gentle re-introduction.
Coming back, we passed through a brief hailstorm, but we didn’t really mind. That funny exhausted post-party mood had taken hold, and with nothing ahead but the long drive home I really enjoyed following the trail of a stream up and down the mountainside.

Ah yes, but the question is, did you expose yourself to nature?

Ah, no. It was very cold…

AWVC uses the Markdown formatting system, a very simple way to format your comments. Whitespace is converted directly. Enclose a phrase with asterisks to italicise, and two asterisks (**) to embolden. A good introduction to the Markdown format is available here.
Cleverly, though, the preview is basically useless (it will just show what you've typed). If you want a real preview, enter your text into the Markdown Dingus, then re-enter it here.
