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

I meant to ask you about the elderflowers yesterday, Fishy.
Looking forward to the results…

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.

The Vodka I received in exchange for groceries was Aldi own brand, Tamova, & £15 for a litre.
Very nice too

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.

Supper tonight will be a dirty gurt sausage sandwich. Would a spare chipolata or two take that look off your face?
