Anyone Need Waking Up?

[Buenchico]

It's Saturday night (or, for pedants, Sunday morning) and WAY too early to go to bed.

So if you're feeling a little sleepy, here's something from The Refreshments that's sure to wake you up ;-)

No me. I want to go to bed I'm tired. But there has been a flipping helicopter going overhead since 8.30 this evening, round and round. It's Brighton Pride this weekend so must be something to do with that. Ba Humbug!

[Mamyalynne]

Lively! Ta Chris.

[Buenchico]

We get used to helicopters around here, LB. I live about 4 miles from the Army's largest helicopter base, so we get them flying over almost constantly.

Like that, Chris.
However when I do ( eventually ) go to bed I don't want to wake up until Wednesday morning c'us I've got a couple of days off.

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Mamya.

I love The Refreshments. Every band member is a superb musician.

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Tony.

Not heading to the beach (or, more likely, a beach-side bar) then?

[ladybirder]

I don't know how you put up with it Chris, least of all at night. All I want to hear at is the owls calling to each other.

[tonyav]

Not this time, Chris. Just want to chill away from work for a few day's.

[pastafreak]

Liking it, Chris. :-)

[Buenchico]

Thanks, Pasta!

Enjoy your break, Tony.

Just watched Henning Wehn/Kevin Bridges/Mickey Flannigan, fast forwarding the adverts (except the Sky one that I'll be phoning about tomorrow) so, no, I don't need waking up but I do have a VERY large Soberano on the go with a fresh can so give me a nudge about quarter past. :-)

[Buenchico]

Soberano?

Straight? On the rocks? With a mixer?

It never seems right to me to add anything to any brandy (except, possibly, port) but I have to admit to having enjoyed a few brandies with something added to them over the years.

You've just reminded me that I've got some Franziskaner Weissbier that's in need of opening though ;-)

[douglas9401]

Straight, but unfortunately without the heat and atmosphere of Calle Marques de Campo, Chris. :-)

[Buenchico]

You might find a little too much heat there at the moment, Douglas!

All you need's a gentle breeze to offset the headline temp.

I'll give a more considered opinion when Camelot coughs up. :-)

I was in Madrid (for three days) around this time of year three years ago, with daytime temperatures up to 38C, and I loved it.

It was dry, arid heat, with restaurants using misting systems to add moisture to the air on their patios. I came back to the UK, where temperatures were at least 10C cooler, and I couldn't stand it (because of the humidity).

So, assuming that it's dry heat, I might actually enjoy Valencia at the moment.

To borrow a tagline, "bliss".

Denia specifically.
