I'm jealous of all the talk about mangos and tomatoes and apricots .... about 10 minutes ago it was snowing here!! Not enough to settle but it is very chilly and we have all heaters on!
Yes, there is AF champagne - well bubbles at least! Ariel (I think they are Californian) does one and we had some last night. I didn't particularly like it though - tasted quite cinnamon-like.
Dinner was okay - we had a nice time with each other, and Uncle Mame is starting to return to his normal self. But the restaurant had gone down-hill since we had been last, and there were two people at the next table who were a bit drunk and talking very loudly (interestingly, they obviously work for one of my best clients and they were talking about a lot of people that I know, and about things that are reasonably confidential. I thought to myself .... OMG, how many times have I dont that??????). Best thing about it was getting to pay the bill and seeing how much cheaper it is when we dont have wine!!!
Just talking a break in between cleaning out cupboards - have done linen cupboards and books ...... just about to do a trip to the dump and take the stuff that still has lots of life in it (I was taken with a purple and green duvet cover a couple of years ago, but I got over it very quickly!!) to the City Mission.
Have a good AF day everyone, and enjoy the 4th July Independence from alcohol party!!! ...... I haven't been counting days, but I think that at the end of today will be my longest AF stretch for about 20 years!
