(What was that song that starts... "I met a gin-soaked barroom queen in Memphis..." ?)<br /><br />Am so late getting here, don't know if you'll even see this, but I can hope, can always hope. Glad to see that even if your glassware situation is in disarray that the glass of your computer monitor still allows you to see to type up a tipple to share a little sip-sipple with us so we can dribble happily away in our cups while holding out hope that your life will return to "normal" sometime before too long... <br /><br />Big hugs from France, where lack of rain has been turning the entire north into a parched yellow desert... it finally rained last night for the first time in months, so perhaps there is hope yet.<br /><br />Also, as for glassware, maybe it is time to start using animal skin water bags again, as the aboriginal ("primitive") peoples did long ago... no risk of breakage there... we could call it "Gin In a Skin" ! Or "A Slurp in a Fur" ? "Beer in a deer" ? We may also have to start wearing animal skins again before long, if the worldwide economy goes belly up, which it seems to be threatening to do. Then the royal wedding could have been billed as : A bride in a hide...<br />:-)Owenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12622587942009516590noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28571746.post-89917079734794532252011-06-04T01:43:18.338+12:002011-06-04T01:43:18.338+12:00Sorry...what were you saying, Saj?

If you have ties to Christchurch, I do hope everyone you know is ok. :-)<br /><br />Margaret - If we do get another big shake it will be number 3, and I tell you our doorways have been getting good work-outs since 4 September 2010!!

I like the shot "or two" of gin! And with the club soda sounds so refreshing. Our Town was so beautiful, poignant, sad... I hope you don't get that second earthquake they're predicting. One idea is to place yourself inside a door jamb for the duration: everything will fall down around you, but you will be safe. But God forbid this happens! Praying for you...
