Another inane thread.

The steward at my local watering hole advised me of a new arrival in the gin section last night, Hoxton Gin, infused with grapefruit and coconut, served long with fever tree naturally light tonic and slice of grapefruit.

I though it was a jolly refreshing drop, Bernard however suggested that it bordered on a cocktail, was suspiciously camp and definitely too european for our small south coast village and if I wanted to drink such things Brighton was but a short train ride away.

Obviously I apologised immediately to Bernard for the shock caused and advised that I deferred to him on all matters camp and Brighton given he spent his formative years as a active resident.

Bernard the Brighton Barsteward. Perhaps you could keep us updated periodically on his pronouncements on what is trending in those parts, e.g. new vocabularies. Since Hugh Paddick died I've been totally out of touch.

It is Thursday, which means - as you all know - the cleaning lady was here today. Unfortunately I was out when she left, so I couldn't give her the annual Easter champagne. I wonder if she already had plans selling it on Sales Corner of the maid's forum?

I wouldn't worry, I'm sure she helped herself to your washing lines.

And your champagne.

And your champagne.

Top girl! Hope she left the proper fink well alone ;)
