Who has that much time

I havnt watched it past couple times, afraid I'm sick of the vegetable expert

I feel like I am wearing a hat that is at least 3 sizes too small - that is after 2 very large glasses of sauvignon blanc. The questions have been endless today and mum has developeded an obsession about our springer spaniel, the poor dog hid in our bedroom to get a bit of quiet!

 

[Kjn]

Awww springer, when we go to mum n dads , olive says hello then off to mums bedroom for sleep
Hope your headache eases , I've had headache too but think is head cold , cold weather fear perhaps

I just got in from an evening at the theatre and dinner, a lovely evening's respite courtesy of my brother. I even brought a bottle of Merlot home with me (the best kind of doggy bag!) which I am enjoying as I know I don't have to drive again tonight no matter what.

Tomorrow is another day but I won't think about that for now.

 

[Nanak]

its early morning here but I have had a cuppa so I am not left out on the drinky front

 

[Kjn]

Sounds good night Susanna

Good morning Nanak

Nothing like a nice wee malt. Is it a Speyside?

I'm lucky. My lovely boy has been good today. He is mostly. Just sad we can't have a conversation.

We're on Sauvignon Blanc at the moment. We can still share that!

Sorry, but whats Speyside? What I am drinking is Lagavulin and this is my last one, now feeling sleepy and shall be on the sofa tonight, mum may do a little wandering so I need to be between her bedroom and the kitchen!!!

 

[Izzy]

Lagavulin is a Highland malt and has peaty taste. The Speyside ones come from the area round the River Spey. These are not so peaty tasting. Macallan, Balvenie, Glenlivet and Glenfiddich are all Speyside malts.

Talisker from the Isle of Skye is my favourite malt whiskey (very peaty).

Cheers.

Ah, I have a Cragganmore which I believe is a Speyside!!!!!!!! But I do love my Lagavulin and I share it with nobody. I obviously love my peat.

 

[Stresshead]

Well whatever it is you're drinking I think we all deserve it!! So bottoms up and enjoy !!

Bit late to the party on this one so.... bottle open now and playing catch up after a s**t 24 hrs. MIL refusing respite or any help whilst we're on hols in June. Apparently she cooks a nice meal every day (micros meals I've made), cleans house (has cleaner) and does gardening (gardener employed), does everything like she's always does..... that's what she told dem nurse yesterday at review....... doesn't need any help....lalala blah blah!! Not sure how much more i can take. We've all been here i know but will soldier on like we all do. There are folk a lot worse off than me i realise from this forum.
So cheers to alzheimers. . ... a great excuse/reason to have drink

 

[Suzanna1969]

Well I've had a stinking hangover all day! Just not used to drinking any more, a far cry from my clubbing days!

Luckily Mum was pretty lucid today and Dad was in good spirits so my suffering was restricted to headache and slight nausea!

 

[Stresshead]

Welcome to the party, I'm just about to start again too !!
I'm sure I must have a massive hole in my tongue where I've been biting it all day. Up at 6 as predicted due to early night. Sulked a little as I didn't get up straight away. Thought he looked at funny colour and realised he had washed his face with toothpaste !! Then drove me mad looking in coat pockets, drawers and cupboards but couldn't tell me what he was searching for. Lots of elaborate tutting which means that whatever it was he was searching for he thinks we've stolen!! Everything I gave him to eat was either too hot, too cold or tasted funny.........grrrrrr!! And the watch checking started again at 4.30 and wants to go to bed. Give me flippin strength !!
Pass me the bottle !!
Chin chin xx

Cheers! Starting to think that using a glass just creates washing up.... ever thought about changing time on watch/clock but guess that means more frustration before belated bed time.... can't win really but that's Alz for you... cruel disease.
Its a good opportunity to provide Govt with revenue (tax on alcohol ).... doing our bit to support the country etc
bottoms up

 

[Izzy]

Sorry you're all having such bad days. I'm thanking my lucky stars that things are quite good here. Perhaps j shouldn't have said that.

Anyway. Doing my bit for revenue and customs etc. Sauvignon blanc again. It's becoming a habit. Cheers. xx
