A mere 32 kilolitres? That wouldn’t get the Cellar through the latest Tim Stimpson episode, never mind a weekend.
Emergency crews worked overnight to stop the spilt gin from igniting.
Sparrerfully slurping the stuff up to make it safe…

I am so proud of my POM. We spent the day with her today as it was her 91st birthday and I wore my purple glitter Doc Martens. She was so taken with them that she decided she wanted to buy herself a pair as an extra birthday present to herself - not purple glitter though, her favourite colour is yellow so she chose these:
It was me that was called a funny mummy by my daughter, but I don’t think mine is quite the usual kind of mother herself.

Thanks both. I don’t know if she’ll be raising a glass to herself along with you this evening but she certainly knocked back a good amount of wine at lunchtime, I can’t keep up with her!
My brother sent her a birthday card that said on the front something like ‘enjoy a drink on your birthday but too much alcohol is bad for you so only have one glass…’
Then inside ‘and keep on refilling it.’ He knows her well.
She ordered the boots before she started though, so that was a sober decision.

I love your story about POM’s sartorial choice, TFM. As for her other choices, well - they haven’t done her much harm have they?
Happy Birthday, POM!
My rellies have made her a cake:
and it matches her DMs. Nearly.

We aren’t called busy for nothing, TFM. Some ovvem have won prizes for their baking, allegedly.
Yes, hurrah for mothers and thank the gawds for such a generous and strenuously quality-assured supply of gin! I’m sure it’ll suffice. More or less.
Good nights, Cellarites,

Not sure whether that counts as flotsam or ullage. Definitely legitimate salvage, anyway.

Bacon butties ready
Fresh loaves out in 10 minutes
I am off to watch the next 20 tonnes of concrete being manipulated by experts
Yesterday’s concrete is set enough to walk on and it looks gorgeous - a nice ice blue/grey colour that is brushed and imprinted
We think that we could park a good dozen cars in our drive when it is cured enough
We have one car!

Well the five axled concrete lorry was easily accommodated with room for a dumper truck van and trailer
So I think a gin tanker is a possibility
