The gym was very quiet this morning when I got there. Nobody had bothered to turn on the lights and the huge TV was silent. There were a couple of people working away without much enthusiasm. By the time I finished my routine I was alone, so I wound up and crept out, leaving the place to the ghosts.
Archie gave me his usual greeting when I arrived home, barking furiously as if I was a burglar or homicidal maniac. As I opened the door he rushed off to find one of his soft toys in the hope that I might play a game with him. Breakfast first, though.
This afternoon, we're driving down to Deloraine to help a couple friends celebrate the husband's 80th birthday. Steen and Clare aren't very social and weren't interested in a party but we hoped we might convince them to come out for lunch with us. However, the invitation was Come for a chat and to drink some port. Sounds OK to me but Marilyn might turn her nose up at the port.
I decided to give up drinking two or three years ago and I've been pretty good. However, I was given a bottle of Haigs Dimple for my birthday and it seems a shame to waste it so I've been having a wee drop with Dry Ginger Ale in the evenings and really enjoying it. I've finished the bottle and now have to buy a replacement. Since the last time I looked, they've reduced the size of the bottles from 750ml to 700ml. What's that all about? Did they reduce the price as well?
In any case, Dimple is a bit expensive to be mixing with a $1 bottle of Dry Ginger so I'll look for something a bit less pricey.
