I've been reading Auntie Mame by Patrick Dennis. A frippery book with moments of depth. One of the frippery moments which made me smile, and I hope may make you smile...
'"You don't happen to like gin, do you?"
"Like it? I adore it!"
"Goodie! Well, I'll just get out the deck and the score pad and we'll have a little game while...."
"Oh" Auntie Mame said crestfallen.'

Well it's Friday, it's Five O'clock in London and hopefully next week we've the internet back in our flat
Would you care to join me for a G&T?
Ah, nearly 6pm now, time to crack open that bottle of wine that's been chilling!
ReplyDeleteYou know I'd join you for a G&T, any day any time! Love that little excerpt, I'm pretty sure that would be my reaction as well, haha! Have a lovely weekend!
ReplyDeleteMe too! It took me a while to even THINK what the other gin could be, so used as I am to the bottled kind! Nice to have you back btw.
ReplyDeleteLooks refreshing:) That's always a good excuse to have an early cocktail if needed!
