My pink gin has gone down like water on sand!

Black Cow Vodka and fevertree tonic or a nice cold glass of pink champagne ( a good prosecco will suffice)

Tanqueray 10 with Sh.......s tonic and a slice if lemon. No ice. Dilutes it too much.
DH is very generous with his measures I might add!

White wine from the fridge. Is it twirly?

Nah! kitty Never twirly!

We have been gardening our socks off again today and DH disappeared inside and brought us both out a glass of ice cold Guinness. Wow, it hit the spot, sitting on the grass amid all the detritus with the sun warm on our faces!

After a delicious roast lunch we are sitting with a large glass
Of chilled white wine, our friends have now gone, the kitchen is total chaos, but we are relaxed and happy.
The sun is shining, the birds are singing and all is right with the world.? Cheers to all, on this beautiful day.

I’m currently chilling some elderflower tonic that I think will go nicely with the violet gin my lovely sister gave me. I’ve a busy day today though, so I’m saving it till I settle down for Call the Midwife and Baptiste! Cheers all, enjoy the sunshine!

I'm just going to make a nice, strong cup of tea!!

Wine later though.

Yesterday, whilst watching the rugby, a nice chilled glass of dry cider went down very well.

Mr P will often ask me if I would like a glass of "something restorative"? which strictly speaking should refer to champagne, but in this house, means Lidl Cava, which at under £5 a bottle, is more suited to our budget!

I love this quote from Madame Lily Bollinger:

"I drink champagne when I am happy and when I am sad. Sometimes I drink it when I am alone. When I have company I consider it obligatory.

I trifle with it if I'm not hungry and drink it when I am.

Otherwise I never touch it - unless I'm thirsty"

Great quote Phoenix my kind of woman.
I do enjoy a nice cold G & T though, love elderflower tonic but can't get it here, my stepdaughter brought some over for me earlier this year, I have been eking it out and definitely not sharing. I like Baileys too but not with ice.

Mr.GG13 has just brought me a glass of chilled white wine, dinner is in the oven, the sun is setting, bliss ??

Snap GG13, so its definitely not twirly now!

I'm off to have a very dry Tio Pepe

phoenix unfortunately DH is not that keen on fizz so I would end up drinking the whole bottle!

Recently saw this in the card shop
‘Peter only drank on two occasions....1. When it was his birthday. 2. When it wasn’t his birthday.?

cheers

Ooooh! Tio Peep. One of our fave aperitifs when we used to meet up with a gang of friends for a regular pre Sunday lunch 'catch up'

Supposed to stimulate the appetite but by the time we'd staggered home we were so hungry we were beyond any form of stimulation.

Remember sherry parties?

Ooh I love Tio Peoe

Oops

I love Tio Pepe over ice, reminds me of Spain, family and friends no longer with us

May I recommend Aldi's version of fevertree tonics?
A similar tree logo but called Ridge Valley.
Think I might buy a bottle of tio pepe for Australia's sake!

Wow! * Nostalgia's* sake not Australia! Predictive text!!

Will definitely look at the “tree” tonic in Aldi’s ??

I'm enjoying a pink gin at the moment. G&T is my drink of choice.
I used to love white wine, but unfortunately, it now gives me awful acid reflux ??
