Today I did buy some Pimms-alike.
Do you guys have Pimms? It's an alcoholic drink that is never drunk straight (well, not by normal people!) but is a summer institution when served with lemonade, fruit and mint.

Normal bottles go for about £15 I think. This knock-off was £4.99.
I figure once it's diluted, iced up, stuffed with strawberries, orange and mint (no cucumber, I hate the cucumber) no-one will know the difference.

It's part of my Sunday Summer Menu. So they'll be too tipsy to notice if the pork comes out dry!

Also bought some sunflowers for Mum. They were local - always a good thing - and will look lovely on the table tomorrow.
