What will you do? Put it your mouth raw?

I don't think he's that flexible now.

 

[ebikeerwidnes]

err

wow

we went to the West of Scotland for a few days a while ago and I did a tour of the Oban whiskey distillery

never done one before

As I was driving I couldn;t taste the samples but they provided little bottle so you could take it home

Just tried the Oban Little Bay version - 43% or whatever

YEA GODS that is smooth
I mean - I like whiskey - but I have never tasted one like that - gentle, complex, smooth - but still certainly whiskey




and now the bad news

most of the sites that sell it - including the official Oban distillery one - are for US only

and anyway - it is over £70 a bottle!!!!!

soooooooo
anyway - anyone know how to hack ERNIE???????

Hello all.
Yet another dry day in store and another day of kitchen fitting.
Have you seen the 10 day weather forecast.......rain every day. A bit worrying ain't it.

Same here. Rain for most days. It will be just another day here

A balmy 4 degrees here in southern softie land. I squirted expanding foam into the gaps around a door frame yesterday, it didn't appear to be doing much so I put a bit more in - oops! Now there's loads of it sticking out that will need trimming back. Off to Weymouth today for lunch with friends at an excellent Turkish restaurant, they do an exceptional veggie mezze that we're keen to try.

Good morning all.
Another cool start to the day.
We are off to Hitchin later to meet up with our friends and go to some woodland to see the bluebells which are abundant at the moment. No doubt there will be a pub lunch involved.

 

[EltonFrog]

I might go for a walk, might not. Depends. I’ll keep you posted if I remember.

Morning all, back to the hospital today where I spent a lot of time this year, visiting the nurses and hospital hotel staff who worked so hard for me and have stayed in contact. In lieu of flowers we created a just giving page in Pams memory, this will allow me to make a nice size donation to the wards welfare fund, I am looking forward to it.

Morning all

Sunny day in prospect.
Going down to the harbour at 10am for the market, then catching the 11am chuffer to Minehead to meet up with our mates in Wetherspoons.
Did a bit of work on the Bantam and the caravan yesterday. MrsD did some gardening.

New blind for my music room being delivered today.

Was 3°C with frost again in shaded hollows. Winter really doesn't want to let go this year.

 

[Flick of the Elbow]

Good morning all, cold but sunny here. Nothing planned.
