I often take a mince pie or a bit of ham in a sandwich with me if I'm going to have a bit of lunch on the job. Sometimes even a pudding, and in my case it's usually either a black pudding or a white one. However, I never get seen around tinsel, I never sing carols and I wait until the evening...

Do they still fit:cool:

Good man, struggle on regardless!!!

When I made wine, all those years ago (Yuletide comes to mind:hat:) I think that the kits were better than they are now. Having said that, I still went into Safeways, now Tesco, and I bought some fruit juice for the wine. Not every demijohn was perfect, but.......

Wow, what a brilliant idea. When I'm around the boat I don't drink anything more than coffee - but a wee growler, or mini keg would sort that out. The boat would stay afloat and I'd stay alive. Dark Fruit Cider Mini Keg

My other hobby is the old yacht. This pic was taken by the previous owner, but she's still the same colourwink... She's a wee bit older than me but she still floats. 30' LOA, four berths, galley and there's a shower in the heads. The old 12hp inboard engine died a few months ago but there's...

It's a toss up between a ginger beer or a blueberry cider tonight? Oh, stuff it, I'll probably have both:raisedglass:

Bit of a difference in the times, Gunge. Your winter daylight is an hour and a half longer - big difference, and a bit easier to live with, for me anyway. Simmer dim is very obviously the other way round, we don't go to sleep up here then 'cause the night sky is never really seen. I can watch...

Here in Shetland where I live the sun will soon be up for less than six hours a day in Yuletime, but come simmer dim in the third week of June the sun will be up for nearly nineteen hours a day. That means shortly the sun will rise at about 9.10am and go down at about 2.45pm. In June it will...

You're not the only one that doesn't do Christmas. I have a few friends that are Jehovah's Witnesses and they don't do Christmas either. Neither does their church, and neither do I - but I'm a raging atheist so.....

Lerwick put their Christmas tree up on either the seventeenth or eighteenth of November. Why? Lerwick’s Christmas tree has arrived in the town and been erected at the market cross

That's not a bad price, Petrolhead. 50 bottles at 500ml for £21.50 is good and they'fit nicely in the fridge, too. Certainly better than the old whisky bottles:hat:

Hey @Bigcol49 At the mo' I have about half a dozen half bottles and two or three get filled before tea, maybe more if there's any visitors expected that night, so the bottles don't sit full for too long. It would be much better though, if I had beer bottles that could be filled and kept so will...

You're right, free always tastes better.

Not a bad price, Ghillie. Just spotted a reasonable price for 500ml bottles on amazon, guess I might as well get them and the crowns in for Christmas.

Point taken, crown caps here we come:thumba:

Up here in Shetland, you often see ferrets, rabbits, otters etc when you're pedalling - oh, and bonxies (Skuas). You see them when you're on the bus, in the car or just looking out the window and when I peek out the living room window, I see sheep, lots and lots of them. Makes me think it'll be...

Thanks all. Unfortunate, as a screw top could last a long time and I wouldn't run out of crown caps. Will probably buy a few swing tops instead, as they're reusableaunsure....
