    You will laugh but I bought an alcohol free gin to try 😬 Thankfully only 5.99 from Lidl. It’s ok, not nasty but tastes a bit like soil. Which is what I think tequila tastes like, so maybe it would be good for a tequila lover 🤔😆 Enjoy your spritzer, I like the raspberry one with Prosecco 🥂
    My bf and I decided to have the rhubarb one with Prosecco one Christmas.  I totally overdid it by accident.  I really don't drink much and didn't think about it being double damage.  Luckily it didn't put me off as it's pretty nice.
    It is blooming marvellous :grin:

    Rose wine and Bacardi and coke are my tipples of choice. I have had a snifter of Edinburg raspberry gin and it was ok but would never be worth me getting a bottle as a tiny shot would do me.

    Morning Beanie :) Hope you've got the uniforms sorted. I forget yours go back a lot earlier in Scotland. DS has 7 weeks off plus the way they're working it with covid tests to get them all back in safely means the week he goes back, he won't actually be in school until the Friday, so nearly 8 weeks off for him! Can't quite get my head around that. He goes back into Y11 so I thought they'd have had them in first. Have a good day. x

    Project school uniforms over the finish line.
    Not going to lie it has been hard & I am shattered.

    Well done on getting it finished. There’ll be a lot of grateful people out there when they go back to school 👍
