Sanpellegrino Limonata. Contains 12% pure lemon juice and no artificial flavourings or preservatives. Very refreshing. Available locally at Kitcheners, cold from the fridge. Top it up with gin if you are feeling naughty.

The much maligned, scorned and sniped at fruit tea. Because I don't like the taste of ordinary tea and this was free :D

I've had gin with that stuff before and it was very nice indeed.

I'm still on rose wine - don't know which one and can't be bothered to go look.
I've done too much running around in the heat today to move now that I've sat down.

See, what did I tell you? It tastes so bloody awful they have to give the stuff away. C'mon R, come join the coffee drinkers.
You know it makes sense.

I don't like hot drinks! And I've never managed a cup of coffee; it tastes like sweeties :? :D

As above. And it was very hot over in Fife today. I had a nice lie down on both Aberdour beach and the one at Burntisland in between the running about.

Sorry to bore you Rathbone :wink:

But I am drinking Herbes de Mallorca liqueur. It was given to my sister's mother in law who in turn gave it to them, my sister thought it was an olive oil :roll: and had it in the kitchen beside the oils. Realising it was alcohol she gave it to us :wink: :lol: . I had expected it to taste of herbs but it does in fact taste like pernod. Come over Bob :lol: :lol:

Sanpellegrino Aranciata, the thinking man's Fanta - and much cheaper in Waitrose it has to be said.

Have tried the Herbes many years ago, there is a lemon one from near Valencia also. Very very strong and makes me cringe when I think of it. Can remember having an argument, in Spanish, with a bunch of Portugese men......oh dear. Also remember Mr Pb falling over outside our villa and banging his cheek on the tiles. That was a great holiday.

A New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, my hubby bought me a bottle tonight as he was going out, very nice it is too (he hates it). Has anyone ever been to Malborough in NZ - somewhere I'd love to go - esp to the vineyards :lol:

Orange juice, but last night I had champagne, white wine, red wine and brandy. Well, it was Homer's birthday and Matt's birthday, so I had to celebrate, didn't I?

I feel remarkably fine today, which really is quite surprising as I had the whole bottle of champagne to myself :oops:

A bracing walk to Luca's this afternoon helped clear any cobwebs.

Homer and son had a good day thanks, though they are a bit competitive about the number of cards/pressies they get. Matt wins every year, of course :lol:

Sandra, have you tried Ikea's perry?

One of the photos was especially for you Sandra! It caused a bit of a stooshie as Homer spotted it on our computer. 'You told me you only bought two things. What's in the third bag?' he says. :pale:
