You only get so many of them - so enjoy it to the fullest you can...and you can...

I've got more behind me than in front of me!

31minutes to go to be pedantic...

I wanted to be sure with that begger!

The reports have been coming in from Israel to that effect re the Phizer vaccine.

See Ethan's verdict in the other thread. Report is not too accurate it seems.
Another one of these "studies".

Mrs Colch's dad being released from hospital today and being allowed home, after going in early hours of Sunday morning with Covid. Not out of the woods just yet but a positive sign none the less. With his underlying health conditions I feared the worst and thought that it would be the end of him.

Mrs Colch updating the family this evening on the current situation. Was talking to her aunt who said that their local corner shop had been around the street today and delivered a bunch of daffodils to each house to try to cheer people up.

One of our lads had his 1st vaccine shot today (NHS related).
Mum had the call today, booked in for Sunday (been shielding for 10 months).
Oh, and I had a flu vaccine today.
All go!

I’ll start,

I’m having a case of 2009 Pages Viejos, Artadi, Rioja delivered tomorrow, from my wine merchant’s warehouse.

That’s wine sorted for the weekends steaks ? ?

decorating the kitchen at the moment. Emptied the wine fridge to pull it out and paint behind. I counted 39 bottles. The oldest being two bottles from 62. Cheered me up no end.

Started another jigsaw this morning - 1000 piecer - photograph of Uluru. Splendid choice Christmas present from my daughter - what a thoughtful lass to remind us of our trip down under when winter skies are dark and glowering, and life is a bit difficult and depressing.

I've always enjoyed jigsaws and I still have some I got given as a lad more than 50yrs ago - and jigsaws have come into their own for me for a bit of mindfulness.

When my mind is full of stuff I wish to put aside for a while, I very easily lose myself in a puzzle for 15-30mins without realising the time has gone. I can thoroughly recommend jigsaws for clearing away thoughts of problems to enable me to see a situation with more the positivity and see what previously I might not have been able to see.

decent wine or vinegar, flip that coin

I had a NEGATIVE today so that’s positive!

Positive thinking; it’ll either be good in a glass, or good on chips or good for cleaning out the drains ?

Story behind it, I was in Sorrento a few years back with Missis T and Alfredo and Lisa. Alfredo is me pal who has Covid. Anyway we were in loads of shops looking for a bottle of wine from 1963 my birth year. The prices were astronomical. Lisa said “ Alfredo has just helped to clear a house out and has dozens and dozens of vintage wine bottles he rescued. He will have a 1963, you can have one of them”. A couple of months later she came to England and apologised saying “ Alfredo is sorry he only had 1962,s” Missis Ts year. Missis T was chuffed to bits.
The 1997 I bought at a car boot a couple of years ago near Dudley for £5. He had three bottle of white for the same price but I wasn’t bothered. Tried numerous times since to kick myself in head.
The 1962’s I won’t drink, the 1997 maybe one day.

Odd thing is and being serious for a moment.How would you know before opening it. ?

When I worked in the medical centre it was the hub of wheeling and dealing. A lad came in one day and said X person is picking these up at the end of the shift. A case of 6 white wine for £10, Tash had a couple of cases.They have been in the garage for 10 years. The stuff in the bottom looked urgggh. I thought these are for cooking with. Tried one last year. Sweet mother it’s gorgeous.

Pork shoulder. Cooked with Hobgoblin Ruby Red Ale. First try, and I think I nailed it!

I can’t advise on the 62s but the 97 should be in the prime of its life
