    Sorry to hear that about today, MWC. Take care of yourself, and if you want to vent, you can always delete it straight away ...

  • Thanks KC

    No need to vent :) The work thing that didn't go to plan couldn't have been foreseen and there's a (new) plan of action in place for tomorrow...

    I'm overtired as well so I really should go to bed now!

    Christmas cards finished :T

    I'm never quite sure about the quality of sloe gin. Always best to take a sample from the top, middle and bottom of the bottle. Right side, left side and from the middle.

  • After a couple of glasses of sloe gin each (2013 vintage) we concluded that:

    a) it was very good!
    b) 2014 was the year that, aged 43, we started to get saggy necks :(
