No hangover incredibly but I did turn up a tad late.

Returned having worn a bouncer on my elbow and buggered a finger having failed to take a sharp catch. We won though so all is relatively well.

I try my best to keep moving whenever able, I appreciate being in reasonable health so it would be remiss of me not to.

Plus I drink like a fish so I have to balance it out!

I've went for a slightly easier option of pouring some apple an black current cider in to a small plastic cup with a waxing stick in it I didn't use the full bottle though just in case they turn out a bit naff!

I did make some baileys ones out of those little shot glasses I'd usually use for jelly shots and I'm hoping for better results with them I hope there just like alcoholic mini milks ummm

If the description of fractional distillation via freezing is correct, you might find the tip of the lolly more alcoholic than the base.

I made Amarula (African cream liqueur) ice cream for Christmas day. It went down a treat and was very popular

Not on the sauce tonight as there is a bushfire that has destroyed homes not that far away and could head over here

Need to stay sharp

Edit:
Just read that someone has died defending their home

It's my path and I couldn't recommend following it, I have a uniquely-developed alcohol metabolic system.

Well, that puts things into perspective. I wish you well and hope nobody else comes to harm. We live in a brushfire-prone area, stay safe.

Thanks. Good friends of ours live right where this fire is right now. Can't get hold of them so hope that they are safe

Indeed, wishing all the best for anyone facing adversity

I remember well the first time I saw a fire on the horizon and I feel for the people facing it down and the choices that have to be made are heart-wrenching.

We have an 'emergency box' packed at all times for such situations, photos, insurance docs and the like.

You don't really get a sense of the danger of living in some parts of Oz until you see it first hand.

Good luck to you and yours.
