Bloomin' heck, that's a big bottle of Duvel!!! I hope he's not planning on taking to the streets on the racing bike you can see in the background.
I had a couple last night, you know, gentle sipping watching a Woody Allen, just relaxing, etc, and I looked down at my laptop and saw it was 2.20 am!!! Jesus, I thought I couldn't believe the time, I know the drinks are strong but still...so I rushed off to bed. Of course, it wasn't until the morning that Mrs Neely pointed out about all the silly clock business.
Tut, tut. Are they still harder to come by in the US? Even our corner shop only sells barn and free range now, which is great, good price too. I get mine from the market though, large free range eggs - 6 for a pound, that's just 2p more than Tesco sell their torture eggs for.Just polished off a couple of hard boiled eggs. Sorry Neely, I doubt they were free range eggs.
Just polished off one of my home made pizzas and a bottle of Stella. Got a Duvel for tonight to help take away the Sunday night/Monday work feeling - god work is so depressing, there has to be a better way.
Cancel that. That woman has forgot to buy Duvel, not happy, she's always forgetting stuff. Looks like coffee and those horrid Stellas then. Low point.Got a Duvel for tonight to help take away the Sunday night/Monday work feeling - god work is so depressing, there has to be a better way.
Got to agree about the silly clock business. We must be the only country in the world that got rid of it and brought it back a few years later; and all because a couple of schoolkids were run over in Scotland.
The government have said that it's the last time they will sanction it, but there was one idiot MP talking on the radio about the 'forces of darkness' and he's going to fight to keep it. Introduced in WW1 to get an extra hour's industrial production in, it wasn't repealed until decades later, just like the licensing laws which were introduced to stop munitions workers drinking.
What is it about British politicians that makes them so stupid?
Anyway, I am off to get a couple of beers from the store. I note that you fell asleep watching Woody Allen, and I'm going to tune in to another Poirot on YouTube; it's merely a question as to who falls asleep first.

New York Strip steak straight off the grill.
My apologies to Hank Hill, as I prefer to use charcoal and mesquite.
A side of ziti pasta with Parma Rosa sauce
and a botlle of Chianti.

Italian salad and a bottle of delicious Côtes du Rhône 2008.

Japanese crackers and spicy cashew nuts washed down with Warsteiner German beer; to be followed by a bottle of Leffe blonde.

The chianti sounds nice, the nibbles a little excessive perhaps?
Yorkshire tap water with ice cubes (still too ill for proper drink) served in one of those steel lidded cups for extra coldness. Taking it in the bath with Virgina Woolf at that lighthouse of hers. In-between essays so I thought I would treat myself.
That's bound to raise a few eyebrows; the last time you reported, you were in the bath with Mary Wollstonecraft. You really ought to cure yourself of this desire to take baths with feminist writers; I'm sure that no good will come of it. What is the cause of the indisposition that deters you from drinking a decent beverage?Taking it in the bath with Virgina Woolf . In-between essays so I thought I would treat myself.

True. People will think that I have a thing for women of 'that type' and it's just not true - pure coincidence.
Oh, I've been terribly ill, sickness, sickness. I'm on the mend now but I've lost all appetite for food or drink, all but for Yorkshire water bits of bread etc - but enough of this, me and Virginia are off to bed, off for a bit of modernist introspection.
