😃 The Little Pleasures of Everyday Life

Decanting 2 litres of now mature Sloe Gin. Tasting session this evening.
Any suggestions on mixers?

More Gin.
HTH.

Now if you have so older vintages you could mix it up, like the Sherry solera system

Unfortunately this our first vintage so we’re looking for a variety of ways to get pissed this Christmas. :lou_lol:

As much as this is not what you want to hear - it is best bottled and then forgotten about for six month

Some of it will be…it’s had 4 months so far and we’ve just added a just little sugar syrup…tastes quite nice already. :slight_smile:

If the sloe gin itself is pretty sharp, then I’d recommend a good lemonade as a mixer. If it’s sweet, drink it neat.

Our inbox was so low today I was able to go and do some training and CPD stuff this afternoon. Still work but a real pleasure to not be that little hamster on a wheel through all the work. Weirdly the referral rate has gone down again.

Well that won’t last long unless the entire village has cars with loose battery terminals.

I think Bill must have looked to many people like another in the line of older chaps who have no chance of getting far in the competition (see also John Sargeant, Ed Balls, Vince Cable etc.). I have to admit I expected much the same.

How wrong could I be? Bill was just brilliant. Yes, I know that the final is decided on the public votes alone, not the verdicts of the judges, but nonetheless he was superb. Watching him trip across the floor this evening, you’d have never known he was a 55-year-old who’d never danced before.

Magnificent.

Managing to put an FPL team together for the weekend with only one transfer needed.

Russian Champagne.
ÂŁ1.20 for the last bottle in the Petrol Station.
You can just about squeeze 16 toasting glasses out of 1 bottle for the Birthday toast
And NOBODY wants a second glass.
Phew

Eldest Bro in Law just been found in garden asleep holding up the gate post
Think this is going quite well.
The pleasure? Choosing a bad Valdepenas over Vodka and still being on 1st glass.
