Bring more of it to Mid-Essex gatherings for safe, ethical disposal.

Do we see ian complaining that he has too much gin1?  No.  No, we do not.  MTFU.

1: As far as I'm concerned any gin at all is too much, but YMMV.

I share the pain, the downside of owning two over-stuffed gin cupboards, is the choosing. Sometimes I buy a new gin just to avoid the decision.

Having used, so far, only half of the sloes I picked to create my first ever stab at sloe gin, I am faced with the quandary of which four litres of spirit I should purchase to macerate the rest. I'm minded to only do half as gin, with perhaps a litre of rum and one of whisky for the sake of variety¦experimentation.

Um, sake?

Sloe vodka is ace, prefer it to gin but that's just my palate, not sure about sake as low alcohol content may not allow full maceration of the fruit.  (prepares to be shot down in flames)

I broke the Le Creuset pie dish this morning when getting the slow cooker out! It is so important I have had to order another from amazon immediately.

Still, the pie bird is intact.

My glass of Laphroaig, that the waitress brought me last night, had three lumps of ice in it.

Ah, yes. That happens quite often.
Even in places that should know better, being as they are but a modest bike ride from the distilleries of Speyside.
(Yes, I know Laphroaig is not a Speyside.)

Remove them one at a time with your fingers, place in mouth and sook them, then discard them.
Clamp glass firmly between warm hands / thighs / whatever comes to hand :-)

I've found that watching Amazon Prime on my phone seems to fail after a couple of episodes of whatever box set I'm watching. Only on my home WiFi which is perfect in every other way. Only a reboot will cure it, which means my viewing is interupted for at least 2 minutes every 90.
How is one meant to cope with that?
