Love the Earl Grey but not enough caffeine to start me up.

right now: a disgusting Diet Pepsi.


yeeeeech!

...clear, cool, water... ahhhhhhh...
I'm planting blueberry bushes today, got much thirst.

A chilled glass of Gallo Syrah Rose
Taking it slowly as I won't be having any more after this

Killians Red. yum.

champagne again...and I've cooked myself some chorizo sausage and haloumi along with some taramsalata with turkish bread.

Very yummy little party I'm having here all by myself. (Dazza and the kids have gone fishing this weekend)

Why haven't they invented teleporting yet?!
I want some of that!

Hey...I'm thinking of heading over to Germany later on this year, but probably stop over in London for a couple of days. What's the chances of you being my tour guide? We'll have to go see Dana of course, and there's a couple of other people I'd probably want to catch up with too, but that'd be fun wouldn't it? :) Specially if you've got that corsette by then. lol

Yes, yes, yesyesyes!
Tell me your dates and I'll take time off. It would be a treat.

Then we can work out what you want to see and I'll be all geeky and suggest an iternary - which you can of course keep if we meet and you can't stand me!

I imagine you'll have people to see & things to do, but whether you fancy a river trip to Greenwich, cocktails at Smollenky's on the Strand, tea at the Ritz, a London Walk, jellied eels in a Pie n Mash Shop - I'll be up for it. You may have guessed I love this city and I'm happy to show it off.

lol...well the planning is in its infancy just at the moment, and I may be bringing my girlfriend libby with me too, so you might have more than one of us to cope with. It'll probably be in late july/early august and it'll depend on us selling our house first. But hopefully that'll happen, and then I'll be all set. But yes, I would probably like to spend a week or so in England and see a bit of the countryside moreso than the city, but it'd be great to check out the local hot spots, and of course, I will need to see a couple of pubs while I'm there. From London I plan on getting a rail pass through Europe and stopping in France for a few days then on to Berlin where my cousin lives. Then through Asia and home.

Maybe if you're up to it, you might like to jump on the train with me over to France even. I don't speak French, so I'm likely to make a complete balls up of it on my own. lol

Well if HM isn't working I might be able to lend him to you (as he has a car!)
We could certainly all take a trip out to Bucks - where we're from - my parents are very hospitable and Dad at least would be happy to run us out to a country pub for dinner.

I'm pencilling you in!

A rather pleasant House of Commons Claret. *smiles*

Was bought for me about two years ago as a birthday pressie, and it's been waiting for a special day. Decided on the spur of the moment that Friday's victory was worthy of celebration......and besides we'd run out of wine...

Coke with ice.

@ Dana...congradulations on your victory AND your claret.

water - finally just plain old clean, clear, fresh, cold, water. I drank way too much wine over the weekend!

iced tea

Guinness after a long day at work. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh..... :guinness:

hot earl grey tea

don't you mean:
"Tea, Earl Grey, hot?"

Only if Binky's head is shaved.

Coffee, black, hot.

Water, out of a Dr. Pepper can. Is it weird that I habitually fill my empty soda cans with water after I finish the soda? Drinking out of a can is so much nicer than a glass, for some reason...

I vote yes.

Horrors of yesteryear:
- Having a milk bottle on the table - milk was always in jugs!
- Having a sauce bottle on the table - ketchup & brown sauce were always decanted into squeezy containers
- Drinking out of anything other than a cup/ glass. My Nan genuinely believed rats and mice peed on every single can, especially if bought from a store run by Indians.

Yes, it's weird btw. But pleased to see we've moved on!

I am drinking Diamond White. Which I shouldn't. But once I finish this I'm going to bed like a good girl and not drinking anything else.

2% milk directly out of the paper quart bottle. (They don't sell 1% in this size)

Pine needle beer.

Coffee

Propel. cuz I have to do too many situps if I drink Vitaminwater. the commercial told me so.

The Dew.

It went well with the free pizza!

Apple juice - no sugar added.

stuff i shouldn't be

Coffee, and lovin' it!

I'm not sure what to drink...Diet Dr Pepper, grape juice or milk? I'd love to open this bottle of riesling I have, but I have a job interview at 2 and I work at 5.

Let's see...soda, purple stuff, oh! Sunny D!

Vodkat Rose

I tis the grimmest thing I have ever tasted.
Seriously thinking of tipping it down the sink.

Either that or go & get my Diet Coke from work to dilute it :)

I just finished off the first can of diet Pepsi for the day. I'm trying to decide if I want chocolate cherry dr pepper or caramel delight Pepsi next. I'm home from work due to stupidity today so I have lots to choose from.

Some kind of screw cap malbec at my MIL's house.

We just spent 7 1/2 hours and $5500.00 at IKEA. Wholly mackeral. I am about done and it wasn't even my $.

But, guess who gets to whap all this stuff together?

Remind me to explain (if I haven't before) the male/female point theory. Not now though.

Holy crap, dude! Is that for your house, or your MIL's?

Wish beer. Raised high in celebration.

The only Ikea item I didn't put together myself was the wardrobe in this room. I can't remember the exact amount of time it took HM, but I seem to recall it was three times longer than anything had ever taken me - including a double bed, chest of drawers etc.

The Diet Coke is making the vodkat mostly drinkable, but is bound to keep me awake. That and worrying about Dylan, who is awol AGAIN. Second time in two weeks.

And I have my date-no-date tomorrow night. Fat chance of turning up for that all bright eyed and bushy tailed now! Self-sabotage. Threfuge of the truly desperate.

It is totally for MIL's, hence not my coin. (she doesn't love me that much)

I did pick up a few smallish things there today. But crap. I couldn't imagine working there. By 2 pm all the employees had blazed and the few one could find were surly and short.

more malbec!

SG you're just in training! You'll be in peak form in case he's a double bagger.

Water - on the rocks.

Walnut Crest '05 Cab Sauv

The best laugh I had in years was reading the Ikea recruitment ads. If I could be arsed, I'd set up an Ikea Honesty Forum, with the comments fed directly back to HQ. Most people I know appreciate their low cost furniture. EVERYONE (and this now crosses continents) hates their stores, the staff, the experience. All I can assume is that Northern European ethics make it work, and without them it is the 7th circle of hell.
He so wasn't ;)

Coffee. French press, ground whole foods, "island blend". If anyone likes coffee, one thing I can do is make a good pot.

Makes me think of this guy...there's me!

Would you like to see my espresso 3000?!? *twitch *twitch

Pomegranate/blueberry juice.

Emergenc-C with glucosomine chondriton

Water. Ice Cold.

black cherry soda, with a splash of berry-flavored soda water. yum. ee.

Sprecher Oktoberfest. When in Rome...

teh Kool-Ade

water

Brain toxin :)

OMG, do you know what fish do in water?

yep...and lots of other things happen in water too. I can't imagine how much bird shit I'm drinking too!

Buffalo Bill's Brewery's Original Pumpkin Ale.

Punkin ales are becoming something of a seasonal traditon. Pyramid makes a famous one. BBB's OPA presents as less grainy and lighter-bodied, with a fruity note to it. Pyramid's is more pumpkin-y, or pumpkin pie-ish (had two slices of that tonight, virtuously sugar free), but either will do nicely.

Rum n coke. Teh housemate is trying to get me onto various wines, but ... yuck. No offense to the wine-drinkers out there.

At 11:00 in the morning? What a lush!!! :) I envy that!

I am having coffee with brown sugar. It appears as if I ran out of regular sugar and am almost out of half and half....The gross part? I think the brown sugar is about a year old, and I have been trying to chip at it like an iceberg, with a spoon.

-chuckles- I'm only a lush on days ending in y... when I don't have to work. Or drive. Like today when I have the day off and it's raining to beat the band and cold outside.

St. Peter's Cream Stout.
Oh. My. God. So good. Get some.
