What are you drinking today?

Actually this is one of 2 bottles brought over by a US work colleague right before Covid crippled my supply chain. On the brightside it appears late November traveling will start again. I have already put in my requests with a few engineers that are planning a visit. Could be a 4 bottle replenishment.

Quality. Are they not using their own allowance?

Looks like Chitty’s still in his shed with his gut rot Brandy at 2:00 am.

Nothing much has changed.

Yeah it is however they do not bring their own for self consumption. They usually enjoy beer or whatever at their hotel when here. Its a weird deal, The limit is 1 liter per traveler but as you know in the US they bottle at 750ml ( for most). So they usually bring 2 bottles each and are over the limit but has never been a problem. I typically have them shipped to their house all paid. If they get confiscated, no loss on their part.

What's the celebration?

Friend's bar- he just opened it.

Fair enough, all the best to him!

I'm not sure if opening a bar now is genius because the competition are all laid low or entirely out of business and people are now wanting to get out and about after being locked down for so long. Or it's a risky maneuver, because COVID is not over yet, and even when it is, people have less money, lost jobs and saving and therefore spending habits have changed, and the good times for bars are in the rear view mirror.

But I'm not a barman, so my views are not worth much in this sphere.

It's actually a member's club, so doesn't really have to follow the same lockdown rules. Nothing is impossible in UB.

^Sounds like fun, Mandy. How's Covid now in UB? Are you still teaching from home?

Having my morning breakfast protein shake. No big breakfast for me today.

Coffee from my keurig and a protein shake. Got to get those liquids down.

Covid is still here, I'm back to fully in person- for now. On the subject of drinking- there was a huge event put on by Moet lately and some Mongolian pop band. Thousands went, it was totally maskless. A bit concerned there will be a spike.
