Might need to take a temp break..

[Falconeer]

As you may or may not know, the UK and the West of Scotland got hit yesterday with gales - in our case at 85mph, which ripped the capping off of our roof. The insurers have accepted a claim having checked all the facts out but now we have to find a roofer when half the county is in a similar state, so I'll be tied up for a bit.

I made my preps in advance - picnic cooker brought in, spare gas for same, fresh batteries in the lanterns, all computers , phones and vaping devices fully charged - there were more in the bedroom but here's my vape prep in the living room by my chair!

Hang in there, Falconeer. Our prayers are with you and your family.

Hanging in there Boss - Have spent most of my day on the phone to insurers photographing the damage, running meetings with the other owners etc etc - now a bit Brain Dead! Rhona who'se spent most of the day phoning roofers etc is equally Brain Dead! but we are getting there! Very large whiskys now for us both!

You've definitely earned the whiskey! Wishing you and yours speedy repairs.

I'm enjoying a JD honey whiskey myself this evening. Cheers

I have some of that on hand too! It's a fave. Another on hand (and in glass tonight, actually), is Knob Creek Smoked Maple.

I have the taste buds of an eight-year old boy.

I saw someone review the Maple one with, "It's TERRIBLE! It tastes like I'm drinking pancake syrup!"

I tilted my head and thought, "Well, YEAH, silly. That's the best part!!!"



I add a drop or three of Makers Mark 46, sometimes, if I want to cut it a touch.

So sorry to hear about this. I hope you’re able to get your house fixed soon.

I'll look for that one. If any booze is too sweet for my taste I usually add a splash of a tart fruit (my go to is usually lime or orange but a nice pomegranate works as well). Sacrilegious to some I know, but I've never been known to give a **** what others think anyway.
