Now that does look evil. ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif)
Talking of odd things in drinks, I was watching a "How It's Made" programme on the Discovery channel this evening and the subject was a very small-scale, artisanal GIN distillery in Quebec. After the spirit had been distilled with the aromatics (juniper, obviously, and coriander seeds, lemon-peel and sundry other things) they steeped peeled, chopped parsnips in it before filtering and bottling it.

Our local artisanal GIN distillery uses watercress, which I'm sure is nicer than parsnips ![[Smile]](smile.gif) The GIN is yummy, btw.
In celebrating the oven repair I finished off my bottle of Bathtub GIN, which leaves me only Bombay Sapphire, Bombay non-Sapphire, and something I made myself using vodka and botanicals (Mr. S's Christmas present to me, or one of them). It looks like something a vet might label 'this horse is unfit for work' but tastes okay, even if it doesn't taste much like GIN! Probably should have left the juniper in for longer ![[Hot and Hormonal]](icon_redface.gif)

You can keep the gin, I'll gladly have a nice warming brandy any day instead. Beautiful colour, lovely aroma, and the pleasure of that delicious, deceptive flavour followed by a fiery warmth. It's an instant mood-lifter, especially in winter. Gin always seems so cold.
Anyway, the weekend beckoneth. I need to think about getting primer, undercoat and a paint scraper to do some essential redecorating on the outside of my mother's house when weather permits. I can't say I've ever actually stripped wooden surfaces and repainted them before, but hey, it'll be a new experience. (Though paint in my hair won't be.)

One not very well known disadvantage of owning cats - you can slip on their toys and possibly case a flake to be dislodged from a bone in your foot.
yes, fellow shipmates, that's what I did last night, and couldn't put any weight on my foot as a result. A (thankfully) quick trip to a&e this morning resulted in an x-ray and my foot being bandaged up, and an appointment for fracture clinic on Thursday.
Thankfully, we have a recliner chair, so I slept downstairs last night, joined by Annie, one of the feline culprits.

That's lousy luck, St. Gwladys. I hope you're not in too much pain and that you've given the (ir)responsible pusses a stern word. Hope you heal quickly.
ION, I spent this morning at Wakefield Rhubarb Festival. A smaller than last year, I think, but I managed to come away with good pork pies, cheese and not surprisingly, rhubarb (there was also a sloe GIN stall). Lots of buskers and random people dressed as bears and French cooks. Several morris troupes were in evidence, including Goth morris dancers, which is a first for me. No accordionist, instead a purple-stripe-socked, steampunk-goggled ukulele player!

Looking forward to the 3 flavours of scotch salmon (whisky, port and sherry cures) and the pork and Wensleydale pie. LRP enjoyed the rhubarb GIN.

Poor St. G. - that really sounds nasty. Hope you feel better soon.
Having spent the latter half of yesterday and intermittent bits of last night nursing a hum-dinger of a headache, I've been a moderately productive piglet today - batches of French sticks and red pepper jelly made, and nails painted (black - channelling Gothick Piglet).
I'm not really a Goth, but I possess very few outfits that don't have some element (trousers, waistcoats, whatever) in black, and my default dress ring is one like this, so black usually looks right.

Sorry to miss you, Balaam. I might have mentioned a shipmeet before, but going on the Saturday was a last minute decision. Hope you enjoyed yourself.
Happy to report that the rhubarb was very tasty over some brack (a fatless fruitcake from the Elizabeth Botham stall at the festival.

Spent most of the weekend being quite excited, as I managed to book my first summer holiday for 6 years.
Need to get myself fit now as I'll be hiking/climbing around various bits of Switzerland on a 3 centre holiday; travelling by train between the resorts.
Any advice you folks have for travelling around Switzerland would be good. Things to go and do. I'll probably take some Karl Barth to read along the way, but any other appropriate reading recommendations are welcome.

Shouldn't be too bad as I'm going half board. My dad warned me, though he wasn't too specific. In London, lunch for 1 typically sets me back £6-10. Are we talking £30+ for a sandwich and a packet of crisps?

Had a week in Switzerland a few years ago. We self catered, and did a big shop on the French side of the border. I don't remember being too outraged by the prices of the attractions though. Loved thermal baths (read: municipal swimming pool!) at Leukerbad, did various trips up mountains in cable cars (and then back down again). Went to the St Bermard dog place. Get ready to try your French, Italian and German, it varied from village to village where we were. Loved it as a holiday. Most random memory was, as we were driving up a mountain, this farmer telling us to stop... ''Mouton'. My French is good enough to know that meant sheep... What I didn't anticipate was that the entire valley's sheep flocks were being brought down the mountain at that point... Hundreds, possibly thousands of sheep, herded down around our car.

Perhaps you could visit Swiss L'Abri, should you feel so inclined. Fabulous scenery up there, too. I spent a few months with them in the 1980s, shortly after Francis Schaeffer's death.
The Lake Geneva area is stunning in any case, and there's the Montreux Jazz Festival in summer (in case you want to part with your hard-earned cash...).

I'm delighted to report that, having finally got the Pigletmobile booked in to the menders, it's now back, complete with new front number-plate (it's not exactly the same; having been ordered from the Irish Republic it's in a slightly different font, but it's the thought that counts).

Perhaps not quite that bad, but it's very pricey.
Last time I was in Switzerland, they weren't very good at taking credit cards - many places didn't, or only took cards from Swiss banks, and colourful folding cash was king (I went to an electronics store that didn't take plastic - but had an ATM inside the store.) It may be that they are better with plastic now, but I'd carry plenty of cash on you...

Fab, fab lunch today - I missed breakfast through over-indulgence in sleep - and for lunch Himself had made me baked fish with saute potatoes with a little side dish of fried onions, fresh sliced onions, quarters of fresh tomato and some spinach that had been washed and patted dry then chopped and stirred in a hot pan for probably less than ten seconds.
Yummy!
I don't think I'll be wanting any supper either.

Thank you all for your kind words. Her owner is in her 40s, and has three children, the youngest is 11. She works in the afternoons and often visits her dad in a nursing home. She only has 3% vision. So Gypsy will be working hard - which will suit her as she's a very active dog. Gypsy is her first guide dog.
She has my details but, of course, it is up to her whether she gets in touch or not.
We have our fingers and paws crossed!
