The following - non-rush - routine is the one I've developed over the years that I've been punting. I'm a creature of habit and one of those who'll usually make the arrangement - almost always with a mid-40s [stated age!
] MILF whose premises are about an hour's journey from my home - a couple of days in advance.
The afternoon before the appointment, I do a 'one-pot cook' of something like a curry or a bolognese sauce. I have half of it that teatime - preferably around 6.00 pm - then don't eat anything else that day. Two reasons for that: I'll be taking my Cialis next day on as empty a stomach as possible; and I hope to have burned off enough calories in the punt that all I'll be capable of when I get home is to re-heat the remainder of what I made the day before!
On the morning of the punt, I only have a large - about 1/2 litre mug - of instant coffee and wash my tablet down with that. I usually aim for the first appointment of the day - around 11.00 or 12 noon - and set off about 9.30, once my bus pass is valid.
As a matter of courtesy, I'll ring the SP about an hour before I'm due to arrive to confirm that I'm on my way. Most of my visits involve both bus and train so I also make a point of getting the fee in visits to different ATMs at the various bus or train stations at which I have to change.
After the event, I'll usually have a brunch in the town where I've punted before making my way home to finish off the meal I made the night before.
