Today's toast goes to my relatives currently hunkering down semi-safely in Brisbane, especially my niece trapped in her house with 3 children aged under 4 years....am starting to wonder what our family has done to annoy Mother Nature (earthquakes..now floods!!) Anyway, one of the following should help take the edge off....
Brandy Zoom
1.5 ounces brandy
3/4 ounc light cream
2 tsp honey
Shake all the ingredients together, with ice cubes, in the shaker and strain into a cocktail glass.

Brandy and honey... sounds like a spiffing cure-all to me!
Yes, I have a friend in Brisbane too and she was really panicking yesterday. I haven't heard from her today but I guess she is probably asleep. Scary stuff.
I'll have one of those Brandy Zooms please.
Cheers!
I never tasted Brandy before, yet sounds able to change things .... Please have a good Wednesday you all.
I've donned my rubber boots in sympathy and have my glass at the ready. I'd like mine without honey, please...and maybe double the brandy? I mean, seeing as I'm late getting here I've got some catching up to do.
Oh, I've been talking too much and taking up too much comment box space apparently as the WV has just told me "oushetut" which I translate as "you shut it". I can take a hint.
I could have used this for my sick boyfriend freezing his butt of in Joshua Tree over the holidays!
PS. Now that I'm warmed up with the brandy, I just had a listen to Roger Hodgson. He's Supertramp! I used to love Supertramp! Still got an album up in the attic (something akin to bats). "Can you put your hands in your head? oh no!"
Even if it's already Thursday where you are, can I still claim a Tuesday Tipple ???
Say yes, oh please say yes...
I'm assuming there's still some brandly left, but that may be the wrong assumption, given that Lynne has been here twice already, and asking for double shots at that... oh dear, that'll teach me to be late...
too much, sag. at this point you must be looking for meaning up above and down below.
i hope everyone you love and are connected to is safe and i hope the earth stops shaking and starts meditating.
