Good appetite!
Take a photo, please!

Ahh scotch best enjoyed in small amounts, if having more than one type… start with best first… as by the time you get to the last you won’t appreciate it as much

I usually enjoy without ice or water or other mix. Same with my rum… cane rum from the Dominican. Very smooth.

Schnapps and kirsch wasser is not unfamiliar either… :wink:

I don’t know what kind of liqueur you call ā€œSchnappsā€ in CA.

In Germany all alcohol stuff stronger than 30% can be called Schnaps.
But normally Schnaps for me is a simple liqueur made from grain. (Kornschnaps)
Same as Vodka, but this stuff is sometimes distilled from potatoes.

Is there anybody here who runs a private distillery?..hehehe!
I remember I read something about. Moonshine or so.
But shhht we keep that family secret! :joy:

Perfect.
I am sure all went fine.
I have to wait till July (12 weeks between 1. and 2. shot), because I got Astra,
but I don’t mind, not planing any holidays this summer.
We will go for vacancies in November.
Same we did last year.

Have to restore the flower boxes of the balcony.
Some of the boards are totally rotted.
But what a wonder, I found some fitting ones ca 2,10m lenght in the garage.
It seems I really got a DIY-Store at home here! :rofl:

We stopped now : 32C.
So we start again with painting in the evening
Looks like a factory here :laughing:

I hear from my friend further north the temperature is high currently, he reported temperatures in the mid 30.

It’s always good to have a few ā€œjobsā€ to keep you busy. Keep you out of the way and out of trouble :grin:

So today we had an early gathering for Charlie’s 8th birthday.
It was a bit overcast with light winds, but still warm. Well, warm enough.
The tide was coming in and the sea choppy, didn’t bother the kids though!

In England there’s ā€œpop-upā€ no booking free vaccine places where there’s no excuse to not get. Everyone over 18 can get.

I’m in full house buying mode, saw and put in offer today.

I’m seeing as many as possible and if acceptable then putting in offer at a low price. Eventually I’ll get lucky. Hard work this method but you make your own ā€œluckā€.

You make your money when you buy. Last time I doubled my money in 5 years, but took 20 offers and the house I got I couldn’t remember as they all blurred together in the end.

I am sure you will find something.
But I remember it took us 2 years to find one here in München, and this was 20 years ago.
In our days its quite impossible even if you are ā€œuncle scroogeā€.

But should be easier at UK’s countryside.

Certainly did @ikari04warrior
The kids had a whale of a time, even more so when they had ice-cream :sunglasses:
