Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Blackberry Gin, vodka, lemo and fresh lime.

That was the last of the Blackberry Gin so the next one was Gin, Creme de Cassis, lemo and fresh lime. I had to have 2 as I forgot to take the bread rolls out of the freezer. Schoolboy error 😀

Chewy sweet when I was a kid.

You've just reminded me of a story featuring chewy sweets. I was at a Union meeting in London. Some of the the real big hitters were also there. On the tables were bowls of chewy sweets. One of the attendees, a black woman notorious for moaning all the time and who was only interested in issues that involved black women, took a Black Jack sweet out of the bowl and complained that they were racist. The Vice President of the whole union who was chairing the meeting and who I know quite well because he's a proper Geordie working out of the Newcastle office, rolled his eyes and took a Fruit Salad sweet out of the bowl and said to her ' Pet, these are in here as well and you don't hear the LGBT lot complaining about them' I don't know how I maintained my composure.

Not sure it was cloudy, might have been the tinted glass giving that effect. I do squeeze the fresh lime in though and sometimes that can muddy it up a bit.

Blackberry Gin is nice but not with tonic. As a shot or in a cocktail.

Just been for a walk on this lovely evening. Our route took us on a footpath through a spinney. Bats flying through the trees was a great sight. One old bat watching some other old bats. lol
Wishing you and Mrs Pete a peaceful night, tonight @peteblue .

We have a huge 80ft tree in our garden. For years my wife and I could sit outside as the light was fading and watch bats hoover up whatever flies were about. It was a wonderful sight, their flight paths zig zagging and providing a beautiful scene. This happened for nearly 30 years. Then two sodding grey squirrels got into the tree. Within a year the bats were gone, almost certainly killed. I managed to shoot both squirrels and their two offspring. We now have no bats.
I may have mentioned this before, and if so apologies, but any grey squirrel that comes near that tree is bleeding toast….

My wife and I had a wonderful day, easy morning, drive in the countryside, visit to the pub and a lovely meal prepared and presented by my son. By now it’s 6.30pm. So halfway through the meal I get a phone call from the pub. A couple who had been barred just the night before for swearing and abusing other customers, turned up and a member of staff turned them away. This almost never happens, indeed I only know of one occasion prior. Of course they were already drunk and attacked one of our staff members. The Police were called, the couple had disappeared but as they lived in the village everyone knew their address, so it’s up to the Police. I’m now getting phone calls every two minutes while eating my meal and trying to deal with it all. Another day ruined and grief dropped upon me, but my wife was fine. The couple concerned, who live in the village, have now been banned for life but may not even know it yet. I then had to speak with our staff to make sure they were all ok and that the one attacked was fine. All I could realistically do is apologise but give them an assurance we would prosecute. Meanwhile I now have a cold meal, I have indigestion and my wife is wondering what I’m fretting about. So big tip, never buy a bloody pub in your own village. I’m sure that by tomorrow when I’m in there and enjoying a pint I will think differently. But tonight I’ve had enough…..
