Sober Thoughts

lunch time fizzy water, I loved the colours when I looked through my glass


Morning
“Shall we have a beer?”
“No, it’s only half eleven in the morning.”

Midday
“Would  you like another glass of wine?”
“No, it gives me a headache at lunchtime.”
"I'd like one."
"Have some fizzy water instead."

“The girls will want Margaritas when they are here.”
“Pizza?”
“No, the alcoholic version.”

Help!  I need a drinking partner to lead me astray.

  2. Two great pictures to accompany this post.
    Paul sounds like a bit of a killjoy - discouraging you from getting as pissed as a nun in a distillery in the middle of the day. Or maybe he just knows what you are like.

  3. I am never tempted to drink at lunchtime, but then I don't particularly like the taste.

    1. I prefer lunchtime drinking (just a single glass of wine usually) to evening drinking. When it's really hot out here I like a cold bottle of lager.

  4. I am not drinking at all now. I love the colours in the glass at the top. I had just been thinking of lime green being electric as a colour after seeing Frances' knitting on Instagram and then saw your glass reflections. Magic.

  6. 5 pm is when I have my first tipple of the day, it's also the time when I first manage to actually relax. I think I should set the alarm for 4.55 pm.

    1. Well I'm surprised, I felt sure you would have a small glass of red with your lunch.

    2. Never; it sends me to sleep.

  7. Love the photos - a lovely effect with the bubbles.
    I'm not a drinker, so since husband passed away there is still one unopened bottle of red in the wine rack. It may well stay there until it passes into either undrinkable or vintage - more likely the former as it's supermarket plonk !

    1. So sorry to hear about your husband Coppa's girl.

    2. Thank you, Sue. It was no surprise - he was a very heavy smoker and the big C "got" him.

  8. We have just had a Gin & Tonic. Hot and stormy enough to require it so late and to use ice from a new ice tray that makes dog paw shapes. Any excuse!
