Green tea.
5 cups of coffee each day.
Not bad ... anyone else drink this?

^ I've never tried it but I've seen it for sale.
Taste-wise, is it similar to anything else, David?
Malty, but not as much as say Singha.Quote:

Having a chocolate martini..

Raised a glass to Putin last night. To be fair, he got the city a fantastic firework display.

^^ This is what I posted about it last year when I drank some...

Not top shelf, but drinkable.
(I have low standards) :)
I'm in a very maudlin mood tonight - one of the street dogs on my watch died in childbirth and I found her tonight, very distressing.
I've been through plenty of worse shit before and know how to handle it, but decided to stay in rather than go out tonight.

Tommy photo-bombed my pic by deciding to head-shag his younger brother. They'd both be dead without my help, but I still feel awfully sorry for the other mum....
Chamomile tea.
ROCK AND ROLL!
I found some ales in Tops brewed in Blandford, Dorset, UK. I decided on the Hopping Hare pale ale.
https://teakdoor.com/images/imported/.../k8iWMk6-1.jpg
It's a nice colour, and upon first taste, it was OK, a mild pale ale flavour, but the after-taste, after about 10 seconds, turned into an unpleasant industrial oil type flavour. What a disappointment.
They also had The Fursty Ferret, Tangle Foot, The Cranbourne Poacher, and The Golden Champion - all lovely, evocative English type names to tempt you to buy or try, so I did. 159 baht per 500ml bottle. Now I've tried the Hopping Hare and been disappointed, I'm unlikely to try the others in the range.
Mendip,
I see Reachy & Teachy are enjoying themselves in your garden:)
^^ They do have good names. :)
I managed to finish the bottle, and to be fair it improved as I drank it. By the end of the bottle it was fair/ok. Perhaps it was too cold when I drank the first glass.
An acquired taste Nev.
Fist gulp can be quite gastly, but it does improve.
Too many chillies mixed with MSG over time can also destroy the taste buds.
Not cheap that either.Quote:

Enjoyed a nice bottle of Georgian red with dinner, then dark and stormies, cos it was dark and stormy. A bit fuzzy headed, but I walk in the mountains should solve that isuue

This has been happening a lot lately - usually it's a couple of glasses of Ya Dong, but a Leo was a welcome change.
We sit for ten minutes while she rattles on in some dialect while I nod and look thoughtful. Tonight she brought out a photo of when she was a young woman. I became strangely .... well, if she was 50 years younger....

You could make her day!
Bit close to home though:)
It could make my day as well mate, but such is life!
I've just suddenly remembered it's the wife's birthday tomorrow... again!!!
Not sure whether to go with the old favourite of "I completely forgot", or try and find something in the garden to wrap up for a surprise in the morning. To be honest my options are limited at this time of day...
Tell her it's being delivered this will buy you a couple of days:)
Good idea, it may well come to that. Kerry are useless anyway, It'd buy me a week...
Just take her shopping tomorrow and let her choose her own birthday present.Quote:

i got carried home in me late 20s by an 85yo bloke and his 76yo girl friend who i'd walked back from the pub and had invited me to try his homemade wine. Fred got a proper telling of by Edith for leading me astray but not as much as the ear bending my Mrs gave me for being fookd all day through her sisters wedding the next day- i fooking hate weddings
It's only a birthday... must admit I hadn't really envisaged a shopping trip.Quote:
