I have picked a bucket full of elder-flowers, in the sun and wind. Very invigorating! ---

It turns out that the wide-mouthed container I chose to steep the elderflower vodka in takes about 1.8 litres of vodka once it has had elderflowers fairly well packed down in it, so that’s what it got; I shall have to buy some more vodka for the raspberries to go into. Oh dear what a pity. What **is** a pity is that Tesco , or at least this Tesco, no longer seem to do 1.5 litre bottles of their own-brand vodka, and a one-litre bottle now costs about a quid more than a 1.5-litre bottle cost last time I made raspberry vodka. Bah humbugs the lot of them. ---

I just looked online and our Tesco is offering 1.5 litre bottles of ‘Tesco Imperial Vodka’ (the only own-brand I can see) at £22.79. 1 litre bottles are £16.17. PS I’m first in the queue for the raspberry version. ---

No, no; the Chatelaine always has first dibs. The barmaid at our local, too, who is having to do extensive taste-testing to decide which she prefers of the raspberry or the blackberry; every time she thinks she has decided she gets Terrible Doubts and has to have another a little bottle of each for further testing. Adding the fig on one occasion completely threw her and was more than she could easily cope with: she said a three-way decision was above her pay-grade. ---

On a note to cheer a wee bee I was NOT allowed a foot over the door of the hospital today until a theatre sister who has no theatre to supervise checked me and noted all obs to take to my insultant She remembered me from a procedure 3 years ago! One where I was unconscious all of the time once my history was verified Impressive these senior nurses are! ---

I did pause for a moment to wonder if clumping great (well size 4 actually) DMs would be a match for the elbows, but on balance I think maybe not. I might just sulk, mind. ---
