I hate early morning flights - never sleep the night before. Or end up drinking most of the night and not sleeping

I made an unfortunate miscalculation with several bottles of claret last night. I've now reached the sweaty, shaky-hands stage. The Fear hasn't yet kicked in, but I'm expecting it soon.

Ouch. Just get back on it asap. I made the mistake of stopping after a really heavy few days last week. Haven't felt good all week

Would it help if I said something about the drink taking the man in a censorious tone? No, it probably wouldn't, would it?
You want to get out and secure yourself some Eastern European street sausage, mate.

On a weeknight? Rash.
How's the dear fellow bearing up under the strain of The Man's persecution of his lifestyle choices?

Couple of notes on the moussaka:
1. You need much more aubergine than the recipe says.
2. It's a pain in the hole frying all the vegetable slices and draining them before assembly but it's absolutely essential.
3. I prefer to leave the eggs out of the béchamel. You get a denser, more satisfying texture.

Oh I was going to leave the eggs out as they're clearly wrong. Although I do like to add one egg yolk to a bechamel to get a nice browning on the top.
