1. The pub down the road is having some work done. Work by two blonde Australian surfer types with shaggy hair, god-like physiques and the smallest shorts possible. I hardly know where to look as I pass.
2. Went to Habitat looking for storage ideas. I wanted a desk kit cupboard for a 16in space. But then I fell in love with this Cos CD rack. It's made of birch plywood and it comes flat and slots together like a building toy. Being grown-up, I made the shop man get his tape measure out. It's exactly 16ins wide. So I bought it and moved my pens and sticky things to the shelf previously occupied by CDs.
3. Getting in trouble with my little sister Rosey (more usually known as Bumface) because I haven't mentioned her in Three Beautiful Things yet.
I love the premise of your blog.
ReplyDeleteFor gin and tonics, Seagram's works fine. For martinis, and I've found that stirred tastes infinitely smoother than shaken, I like Bombay Sapphire or Tangeray Ten. I'm also quite fond of an obscure preparation called Pink Gin. Stir some superlative gin with ice cubes, along with a couple of shakes of Angostura Bitters. Strain into a martini glass and garnish with a bit of lemon zest.
Here are three beautiful things for you:
1)Bishop's Finger, brewed not far from you
2)The music of Count Basie
3)Fresh rosemary
Yay, more storage space for you :)
