Picked up this book called "no wonder I take a drink" well worth a read. "Lack of funds force Trisha to return to her previous profession as a pharmaceutical rep, pouring tea and telling jokes to sad burnt out GP's. The only good news is that Steven, her increasingly distant teenage son, is about to move back in with her. The bad news is that Bob, her ex, wants the house. Trisha's mind is made up when she inherits a place in the Highlands. Having pictured a rural idyll, she finds rain, sheep, a jaywalking dog, kamikaze midgies and more rain. Her social life is so limited that she even contemplates joining the local Mental Health Awareness Group just for the craic. Then three nurses on holiday leave from Saudi invite trisha to a ceilidh. A night of whisky fuelled high jinks with a frozen salmon ensues which leads to an encounter with Spider, the local lothario, and a dramatic discovery that will change her future forever".
