I could definitely do with a drink. You? I shall be Confined Cocktailing about 7pm. Maybe a smidge earlier...
This is mine from last week, which looks as if it's levitating (that's my phone shadow, not the drink!). I shall be having another New York Sour this week as I have more red wine leftovers, and it was absolutely delicious. I might follow it with a Charlie Pie, because The Spirits is quite inspiring. And because, as above, I need a drink. Indeed, having made it through this week, I think I deserve two.
I hope you're all taking a breath out, relaxing, settling into lockdown 2 if that's where you're located, and generally letting go of worries as much as you can.
I have a couple of suggested topics for chatting tonight. One is: winter booze and what you're laying up - I bought my Baileys for the year today, and it's in the fridge when I want it. And I have PX sherry too, for if I need a sudden shot of Christmas pudding in a hurry.
The other, a slight contrast, is: how are you really doing at the moment? Because I know it's old hat and we're all used to covid ups and downs now, but otoh I have been a wreck this week. And it's okay if you have too.
This tweet very much got my mood:
"#Lockdown2's a bit like grief after 6 months isn't it? The permanent sense of shock and is gone, and it's so normal now, that sometimes I forget, and find myself thinking, "Oh, I'll just go and do xyz" before remembering that I can't and it hits me again."
So, yes. That.
