Oh Lord. Bloody hell indeed. Get well soon to aunt.

No, although on its own it tastes a bit soapy. It’s fine in this though.

Very much agree - Twiglets are definitely evil.

Cheese and wine tasting imminent, so a light one tonight - a Less Is More Negroni with Savoia Americano and quarter strength gin.

They were excellent meatballs!

Plum brandy. Not entirely traditional, but it works.

Cheers! Appropriately given your travels, I have a French Rose (gin, cherry brandy, Lillet Blanc). Between seeing Operation Mincemeat and husband’s last speech therapy appointment, it’s been quite a good week. #ConfinedCocktails

Sorry for your loss.

Aargh indeed.

You’d think the curse of Alzheimer’s would at least have the decency to free her from worrying about such things, and yet…

And does Income Tax taste nice? It does do lots of good I suppose. Cheers anyway, I have a Normandie 75 (replaced gin and champagne with calvados and sparkling cider), from my new cocktail book. #ConfinedCocktails

Also, some nice singing.

Glad you’ve managed to tick off another stage. Buy the wine.
