Tried a new gin tonight. Verdict? It's a gin but not a standout one. Difficult to pour. I may decant it. Haysmith's from Aldi at half the price is far better.

That's what this supplier is doing. He showed me a photo and it looks good. No longer need a valance.

Yes, they look very smart & 'clean - we will have them in our next house.

Times have changed! We have a couple we are friends with who have those old-fashioned wooden battens on the wall with the curtain rail fixed to that. Hideous!

Trying to snow up here.
A pal “down under” messaged me this evening….it was officially 50° near him earlier 🥵

Suddenly the weather here feels just right here…perfect for a small pub crawl tomorrow. I’ve been doing an anti-dry-January thing (not sure if I mentioned it) - #31PubsInJanuary: I’ve managed 30 so far 🍻. A truly selfless task aimed at helping keep pubs open 🤓
Not always a beer, before you worry: sometimes a coffee or lunch 😎
Meanwhile….expensive curtains are up, now it’s down to MrsMikeIOW to take the bottoms up ever so slightly. My work there is done 🤪

Oh yes: @PaulSB - that track by TheBoss is very poignant. Change is in the air, & it can’t come soon enough 🙏

I always have a drink or two on New Years Day

just be make it clear that I am not doing dry January

If I want to give up for a period of time I will do it because I want to and I will decide when and how long
and probably tell no-one

I have an aversion to targets set by other people
