A Gossips cab sav from Warburn Estate. They make some very drinkable plonk for under $7.00 a bottle.

How about some rather smart coasters to stand your drink on?

Vitreous enamel and very heavy. Got them from the Jaguar boutique at the factory.

Absolutely.
Week end aperitif.
3 days with Monday "pentecote", Whit Monday.
Work's over. I bless (Mrs F does) those who have to work on week ends.

Had to take the day off to wait in for the gas man to come and service the boiler. He turned up early so I got the shopping in a day early and although I don't drink a great deal now I rewarded myself with a couple of these...

...a nice dry cider that's not too 'appley'.

All in all a good day.

Hands up who else didn't know appley was a real word

Wasn't intending (Honest

) to partake , but .....
No I`ll not give my albeit valid excuses.
As you've all read them before

Annnnnnyway

Finally the drink and glass match

Now I`m not sure if it`s the fact these cost a crazy reduced (Brace yourselves) £3.25 (No I didn't buy them off the back of a lorry) per four pack

But they`re tasting mighty fine

I can't drink. After contracting Hep C in the Navy 33 years ago from unknown sources and subsequently getting it cured by the doctor with their new medicine this year (a three month prescription is $91,000), the doctor still informed me that it was not a ticket to go drinking or to catch up on drinking or to even have a drink. So that's the best I can offer to this thread, but thought I'd add to it.

Glad to hear that you're cured, sad that you can't drink.

Bottle of red for me tonight.

Today's drink is from Lithuania: Aiko Pale Rinkuskiai Premium Lager. Pours a clear light amber with a creamy head that lasts for awhile. Strong alcohol content of 9.5%. Tastes of malty sweetness, fruity, with traces of cinnamon and ginger. Very little hop bitterness. Though it has a high alcohol content the taste of this is overshadowed by the beer's sweetness. Okay overall.

Yup, got some nice chilled Italian Peroni beer tonight.
