Locked in, they both are
The mongoose and the cobra
Still before the strike

Top tipple tricks
Been thinking a lot about drinking, lately. Not least because of a recent episode of over-indulgence and the inevitable after effects. Some readers may recall the earlier articles I wrote about beating the booze. Here I set out an experiment in techniques for cutting down on my alcohol intake. The experiment was successful, the techniques worked, and I have armed myself with an arsenal of weapons in the war against the demon drink. I have yet to fire the first round however. It's all a question of timing (perhaps procrastination).

Clever take on the challenge... which animal will triumph?
That stillness before the strike carries so much tension.
Nice build up of tension. Confession, I was sure there was a double entendre I was missing. But when I googled it nothing blush worthy came up. Hope I'm not revealing my naivety.
