The Best Shower Of The Day.....

[gness]

....is the one in the evening when you are absolutely filthy......soil....leaves....bugs.....paint....a split bag of cement.....smelly soil conditioner......
Standing under the blast of hot water until bits of you wrinkle....then out for a brisk towel down and lashings of moisturiser.....

Then....because you expect no visitors and won't answer the door anyway the hair can dry and kink as much as it likes and you don't have to bother with make-up.....

And to add to the bliss the wine arrived and some of it is screw top.....don't think I have the strength to use the corkscrew.....nice drop of wine too.....Australian...The Black Stump.... picture of a dead tree on the front..... I think it's a picture of a dead tree or maybe I've not rid my hair of all the bugs and spiders gathered today.....

Happy evening all....... :-)

Oh heck....I hope Chris got some wine today or he'll fall out of love with me..... :-(

Sounds like a blissful evening awaits. I haven't bloody stopped all day and I'm still prepping for dinner.

In (hopefully) an hour or so I'll be forced to choose between a Gerwurtztraminer or a Pinot Gris. Decisions, decisions.

[gness]

I tend to skip the prepping for dinner bit, LadyC.... ;-)

[Buenchico]

Yes, it's a dead tree, all twisted and gnarled.

(Oi! Who just said "So, like you then, Buenchico"? I'm not deaf, you know!)

The same vineyard produces wines for this label too:

Perhaps that's more appropriate for a Saturday evening on AB?

Or that long hot soak when everything aches, and you are beyond being tired. When you can lie there listening to music and feel every jangly nerve and muscle untwist. To be followed by clean pyjamas and a hot water bottle just in that last sore spot in the small of your back and a pot of really good tea. That's almost perfect.

I've been grubbing about in the garden too. Will have my shower just before the wine is opened. Lovely.

[gness]

That is just bliss, Rowan......I can feel it... :-)

Chris! For that label alone you are having one of my rare best answers......love it!

And I've just been invited out for dinner....luckily the cycle helmet will hide the hair.....just need dark glasses and a scarf.....x

[gness]

Enjoy, Tilly....the shower and the wine...x

[rowanwitch]

Now where did I put the lavender bath soak

[Tilly2]

Don't forget the lippy, Gness.

[Barmaid]

Ive not done much. Sat in the garden most the afternoon with a pimms and my kindle. Started some wedding planning.

[gness]

My lips are reddened with wine, Tilly..... :-)

That's interesting, Jno...thank you...x

One day I'll do that, BM.......the sitting in the garden with Pimms bit...not the wedding planning bit before Dave keels over..... :-)

[rowanwitch]

Go on frighten him leave notes about possible venues lying around

[sunny-dave]

That's OK, Rowan - they can go on the pile with the IVF forms from the JesusMary&Joseph Fertility clinic ...

... I'm hoping for a Donkey.

[gness]

Well that was lovely....I cycled...Dave cooked....then I cycled home...followed by a man...... ;-)

Now we are both on the patio testing another bottle of wine and waiting for the hogs to appear....and the moon is just stunning.....x
