Misty has a new coat too!
She looks like she’s about to be roasted in the oven

Work in progress on measurements, but something like:
45ml bourbon
30ml ginger wine
22.5ml honey syrup
22.5ml lemon juice
Ginger bitters (but normal Ango would work)
Shake, serve on ice
(1.5/1/0.75/0.75oz if measuring that way)
Basically a Whisky Mac/Gold Rush hybrid I invented while deadly sick and needing something lemon-honey for medical reasons, and booze for happiness reasons

What’s your bourbon of choice for making cocktails?
A negroni. Sbagliato. With prosecco in it.

Think I overdid the JAMuary today. 1 wine into my evening & I feel half …or maybe even three quarters… dead
Using a Wild Turkey 101 here - good price and 50%, so pretty punchy to balance against all the other flavours. Four Roses Small Batch has also been good for price, being very smooth, and 45% - and also nicer for drinking neat imho as a bonus
I have a bad habit of just using very pricey nice sipping bourbons though and getting through them far too quickly

Hehe know what you mean. About to attempt a whiskey sour here for the first time but I’ll be using an Irish or Scotch as I’ve so many bottles it felt silly to buy another.

been trying to finish sorting out tidying + throwing stuff out
part of the clutter is a pair of mudguards that I bought for my old bike. had put off trying them on my new one for ages because if there are potential difficult obstacles in sorting anything out, I shut down and put the thing off forever
somehow managed to make myself have a look at this, and they actually fit!
it’s snug, though, and I have next-to-no room to do stuff like this
also I can only attempt this stuff at certain times because of other living situation-related paralysing anxiety
had to abandon finishing the job. somewhere underneath the frustration, I felt a small amount of relief

Evening
Been out for a Local Indian. Place we’ve never been before and it was really nice, a few things on the menu I liked the look of so will be going back there soon I think.
Just had some cake and watching football.

Went to town today as someone i know from my tours had a surprise for me. Four prints (by an artist i don’t like but is fairly collectable). Anyway, took the chance to go into Lidl so I’m now munching Mister Chocs instead of dinner and smashing some goblins on the switch.

I’m happy to buy them in but Wor Lass loves a recipe which involves getting her hands dirty so will often insist on making the burgers herself.
They’re much better than the supermarket ones but so much more washing up.

Evening!
Took 4 kids (two of mine, two of their pals) to a NT place all day, nice but sodding freezing. Then managed to sneak in a cheeky pub dinner with the missus, as pleasant as it was impromptu.
Now watching Sarries Gloucester in the egg chasing and thinking i need to be in bed. Two days in a row where I’ve been outside in the cold all day, and then feel super exhausted when i warm up.
