As the title said. Today has been very quiet and I am exhausted. Bear has been around ninety percent leg, like only young lads can be, sprawled out watching YouTube and dvds. He's been watching the Edwardian Farm. I can tell I will be getting expectant looks at me and then the desolation that is our garden. I'm going to fill the damn thing with lavender as so far it's the only thing that seems to have survived the feral slugs.
We have some bottles of champagne in the cupboard. I'm not sure how fit some of them are - I suspect most of them are older than bear and they were all gifts. Father never drank the stuff, DH is on tablets and I have never liked champagne any time I've had it - though I'm not a sophisticated palate. The only thing I like with bubbles is diet cola.
We don't know anyone to give them to (I'm not entirely sure that all of them are fit to drink after all this time, none of them are the proper vintage, they're the £9.99 New Year's Eve type) and I can't donate it to the Methodist Church as alcohol isn't allowed on the premises. Mrs Beeton recommended using gin and old silk handkerchiefs to clean mirrors but I can't think of any sort of housewifery that uses champagne unless it's how to cheat and get asti instead.
Hi Sybil - have been reading your blog recently - not sure how I came across you - no doubt linked through from somewhere whilst roaming.
ReplyDeleteHow about making Champagne jellies - never tried them myself but we have the same problem with a few bottles still lurking in the garage from previous celebrations!
Donate to Bear's school for the Xmas fayre? - tombola stall?
