Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven


Tonight's G&T Friday offering is the second one I picked up in Dublin. Gunpowder Irish gin that I'm taking with "deluxe " Mediterranean tonic and a slice of lemon.

Cheers everyone. Have a great weekend.

Nice choice.

I was in Drumshambo in June. A nice part of the world but terrible roads to get to it.
 
Good morning all on this fine day here in Finland. Off to in laws today for the Olympics ,they have a birthday do for SIL and as they plenty of land we have a series of games Tennis ,croquet ,mölky ( a Finnish skittles outdoors but very good better than skittles ,well worth googling ), darts ,badminton and golf .I have to give the tennis a miss with my knees but the rest will see me make an effort .They even give out medals! It is about 1 1/2 hrs drive so a mid morning start to get there for noon ,then I have to make an excuse to leave at 3.30 to watch the match.
I hope all had a good night and have a fine day .Good luck with the wedding @Val P I hope you get the weather it deserves .COYB
 

Morning everyone,

@Val P good luck today.

@Gwladysover did you enjoy the cricket?

Very muggy here today , feels like storms are coming.

I like to wish Kopite Kev luck in his search for a new striker. Two weeks to go Kev and you've only had 2 years to find one , chop, chop.

@blue1948 have a safe drive and be careful with those sports at your age , mind you could be the only gold medal Finland get.

Have a lovely day everyone.

Thank you @blue1948 but the wedding isn’t til September. Your day sounds like fun - enjoy the games and hope you end up on the podium
 
Morning all, I hope you are all well. Very successful trip to Trafford Centre last night so son and heir is finally all kitted out for his wedding in September. Now I have to turn my attention to Mr P, but as we’re both retired we can do it at a leisurely pace. I had to face up to my age too last night as I tried a pair of gorgeous shoes on for the wedding but the heels were so high I could barely stand up in them never mind do a full day and night at the wedding. So sad, they really were a thing of beauty.
I will miss the game today as there is more wedding related stuff going on. I’m going over to Liverpool for the baby hen do which is basically a party at future daughter in law’s parents in Allerton for the small gang of under 10 year old nieces (with a couple of nephews) who in true 7 years old going on 17 feel miffed that they can’t go to the hen do. It was going to be all women but we decided we needed the men there for transport and other logistics . Obviously they are all delighted. Especially son and Mr P who will miss the game. By the way I promise I won’t go on about the wedding from now until September.
Enjoy your Saturday everyone
