Things have been getting a bit desperate lately. Only four bottles of whisky left, and just one of those was a single malt. Not a good state of affairs: the top of my fridge, where said bottles sit, was starting to look a bit desolate. The single malt itself hasn't far to go, so whenever I've fancied a tipple I've been drawing increasingly on my reserves of the lowly blended stuff.Last night I went to a gathering of bods who had been involved in one way or another with the music festival I had been helping at a couple of weekends ago.
As thanks for my travails (whatever that means), I was given a present: things are looking rosy again!
I like it when this kind of thing happens.
Meanwhile I'm away this weekend, visiting a couple of good friends and their wonderful 8-month old daughter in a lovely North Derbyshire village (so North it overlooks Manchester from a great height). Hence, things will be a little quieter here at the Press, probably. Unless I do some late-night, less-than-sober writings. Either way, have a good weekend yourselves, whoever might read this.

have a wonderful weekend..........
looking down from a great height...isn't that what god does ?
love to you x
I think that is apparently what God does, though at more than just Manchester :-)
Have yourself a glass of whisky and a good weekend too xx
YOu mean the God's world is bigger than Manchester.I'm shocked.
Have a fab weekend. at least you won't get flooded up there!
px
Don't be shocked pixie - "apparently" being the operative word in that sentence!
I've more chance of being snowed in that flooded, I think (well, maybe) - though the forecast looks to be ok for the next couple of days thank goodness x
'whoever might read this'?
What?
Abandon all hope.........
That is before the weekend, even.
Jeez-O.
Funnily enough, things are that usual synchronicitous way.
Merkin, too, is heading for a weekend where whisky will be a constant reminder of things past and present that are nice.
Hic.
Meeting a former student of mine who always wanted to know the correct etiquette about drinking of the national drink.
Wish me luck. Haven't seen him for 2 years.
I may even write about it, presuming the four Russian Gypsy Dwarfs don't spirit me off to somewhere electrifying (as in nipple fun).
On the other hand................
Have a fantastic weekend, I will pop over to look for some less than sober ramblings at some point.
Don't forget yer socks me old.
Have a good weekend
but one needs two socks.
Have fun, honey housut...missing you already
x
I have 'still life with plug socket'.
Mine is still because the plug socket is attached to the pump in my fish tank.
It is not working.
I am blowing bubbles to keep my two remaining fish alive.
There used to be a radio comedian whose catchphrase was "If you haven't been to Manchester, you haven't LIVED!"
If my parents hadn't been in Manchester, I wouldn't have lived: I was born there.
Oooops that was me deleting my own comment, I'm half asleep and not making much sense.
Merkin, hope you had a good weekend too, I certainly did - though the drinking was very moderate this time round. I did think about the "Abandon all hope" thing when I wrote "Whosoever..." - probably a result of being over at the sinister welder's place.
dj kirkby, obviously I never got round to any further ramblings while I was away, but the internet access was a little intermittent, and I didn't want to spend ages in front of the computer whilst staying with my friends..
zola, thanks for your wise words - I followed them to the letter.
anna dear, I missed you too - thank you! x
lav, I hope your fish are ok? Sounds like a bit of a nightmare, has it been sorted out? Hope so x
anticant, I don't know Manchester especially well, though I do enjoy visiting there and the parts of the Peak District nearby. I have a Derbyshire accent which is really not much like the Manchester accent, but I've lost count of the amount of times people asked me if I was from Manchester.
trousers!
Oh thank you for even asking....and as you have, no! they are not....I was left with 3 out of 16, thanks to a new tank,stress and the local pet shop....am now left with Dreadnought and Blanche, Eartha is dead and I have yet again to empty the tank ,refill and hope so much not to lose the last 2.
I did tell the shop that the thrice failed pump/filter was going through the window / up his jacksie any which way ...BUT I am upset.
Sori..you did ask kisses and welcome back xx
I did ask, yes lav - I'm really sorry to hear of all this hassle, you must be v annoyed and upset to say the least. I'll keep my fingers crossed for the remaining two, not to mention for a decent pump/filter to find its way to you.
Thanks, amidst all that, for the welcome back - I must go to get some sleep though... x
