No, I haven’t had a drink all week. Nevertheless, I thought about what you said, and I guess the line ‘best to take it on the chin’ made more sense in the original draft, but it changed enough that now it remains a hollow shell, be-reft of meaning; a ghost of drafts past (trademark) and should be deleted.
Tref, my friend, you may be over-thinking this. I put it down to the absence of alcohol. Come over and we’ll open a bottle of good Aussie red forthwith.

I cut my finger the last time I was frying onions and he didn’t seem to care. Though I had just massacred his mate, to be fair. And he was next.

Really, though, over-think is what I do. I’d have no blog otherwise.
