Vanilla coffee.
After a sumptuous repast of beans on toast, I have retired to the computer and am finishing a bottle of Languedoc 2009 red wine. It is a nice soft wine from one of the, in UK terms, lesser known regions but, for the folk who live in that Southwest corner of La Belle France, I'm willing to bet that they are content with what they have.
Some rather cheaply made sangria....hitting the spot :)
Just fresh from the bath and drinking the rather drab but drinkable Frascati. I'm now off downstairs to kick Mrs Neely off of the comfy spot on the sofa and I'm going to finish the bottle with Annie Hall! I might also make light work of the rest of the French bread with a little butter and gorgonzola cheese too.
I can certainly get used to doing nothing much more than reading in the day and drinking at night - a novel a day is back to the old form when I used to be able to do just that and have fun - roll on the six weeks holidays and the end of horrid school teaching stuff and rotten university essays forever...ish.
Edit: Oh Brian, Pro Bono has not arrived yet but I am assured it will be here by Tuesday.
Even better if you drinking that with some nice Spanish lass...Quote:

Frozen grapes
A cup of recent home brew (tea) and 3 weeks old KitKat bar.
about to start sipping a cup of green jasmine tea
French roast coffee, creamer and sweetener. Mmmmm.

If you think it's worth doing, perhaps you could do a write up on it in the review a book thread. It might stir up a bit of a hornets nest even though the events described ended in 1979 (I can see the Mods reaching for that padlock now) but one of the reasons I wrote it was as an attack on complacency.
Anyhow, I shall be very interested in what you think of the merger of fact and fiction in the novel.
Yes OK I'll do that. I'll be reading a lot slower next though because the nonsense stuff (work) starts up again, but I do have the extra days either side of the weekend.Quote:

Fresh ground "Jablum" Jamaican coffee that we brought back from our trip.
One Taquito and the remaining bits of frozen Oreida french fries.
I'm saving room for the Easter meal at my Brother in Law's, that should prove to be more wholesome and filling.

I'm jealous about the coffee; I'm still hunting for decent coffee, considering some independent online suppliers.Quote:
