I am drinking the remains of Tesco own Grenache, to be followed by the remains of a Smith Woodhouse Madela 96 and if all else fails a steady supply of 94 tesco.

I am trying to say; don't be proud, there must be something in the cupboard.

And what was that cork all about, it looked odd, almost a bit new and why would anyone put half a cork in?

The answer we were all looking for is Talisker 10 yr old.

An excellent progression. I will later have a glass or two of the Scotch Malt Whisky Soc bottling that I'm currently working through. After finishing this bottle of Spanish moscatel.

Huzzah!

I have a feeling we shall shortly be moved to 'meaningless drivel'.

I have to go and listen to my wife practice a reading. Less than one and a half hours before she becomes a published writer. Squee! as I believe they say on twitter.

The worst imaginable outcome is imminent. A crisis of international proportions is upon us.

What to do?
Order the 1994 from the menu?

Unfortunately home (being the "different location") does not have a menu that includes Dow 1994 :(

How long does your post-op rehab take? I'm glad you at least have good medicine.
