Mundane News

[Jenkins]

At some point this weekend I really must get out and get the last of the family's C*****mas bits. Then I will know how much or how little money I have left until the end of the month and whether I need to transfer some cash from the emergency fund to the current account. Things were looking good this month until I had a couple of train, hotel & gig ticket booking moments.

I always associated it with TCP. Talisker is a fine Islay with a little less peatiness. Lagavulin is my favourite, really lush, but at over 50 quid a bottle, it's a little beyond my budget.

When we were visiting our daughter in Edinburgh I was a little under the weather and she gave me a glass of whiskey. She’d purchased it from an Island distillery that she’d visited while waiting for her partner to finish his race. It was exceptionally nice, and I managed to finish most of the bottle over the course of our stay. I was going to replace it but when I looked online there was none available, the previous listed price being over £150 per bottle 😮

Laphroaig was my first 😍 It smelled like wet wool socks on a barbecue and I was smitten. I don't drink any more, but I have fond memories.

I sampled Laphroaig when I was in Ayrshire earlier this year to see what all the fuss is about and I did like it. I sampled a lot of whiskies during the trip, my memory may be a little hazy.

Just be honest.

I've replaced the filter in my water filter jug.

One of the lockets I bought on the 'bay needs a better bail if I want to wear it. The original bail with the Kordes & Lichtenfels stamp is missing, and it's been replaced with a flimsy (albeit still silver) clip bail. It would be fine on a smaller / lighter pendant, but not on a half ounce locket as it'll wear through in no time.

And just to complete a suitably mundane evening, I have re-filled my ice cube tray.

Watching Question Time for the first time in years ... it's actually getting a bit interesting again, who would have thunk it?

I prefer watching Newscast.

Currently self-medicating with a box of Lindor.

Ooh, very nice. Got a box of Milk Tray available but doing my best to make it last, all the nice ones gone anyway.

Three Christmases ago I picked up a whole case on clearance. Think it worked out something daft like 80p per 200g box... Down to the last four boxes of them.

Anyhoo, off to bed go I.

Nunnight one and all.

 

[Andy in Germany]

Good morning. finally fixing bikes again today, thank goodness.

Just be honest.

I tried that last time.
