A brilliant French (!) single-malt whisky happened.

I never knew the french did that.  I usually stick to the Scottish single malts.

I didn't either, until a friend recommended it. This one. And here's the link to the distillery. Something doesn't work on that page, though.

 :plus:

since, as most folk know , i'm teetotal, should perhaps explain that i used to drink.  way back in my youth, and single malt was once a favourite tipple off mine (when i could afford it, which was rarely , TBH)
I even continued to buy a bottle of the single malt  every Christmas (up to just  a few years ago) just so as i could offer a decent  drink to random visitors.   Then i developed the dreaded gluten intolerance  :zombiefuck: and cos i didn't drink, didn't need to think about which alcoholic beverages i had to avoid on that account... not until after one  Christmas Eve, when one such visitor praised my single malt to the high heavens and persuaded me to try just a little sip of it.

All I can (i.e. want to)  say is that i was ever so glad that the vistor had gone by the time the symptoms hit.  And you won't catch me repeating that mistake.

But now I'm wondering, do you  (surprisingly numerous) whisky fans on this forum not have an issue with gluten, then?

I don't have any gluten issues, no. It would kill me if I did.

Interesting, if I see it here I will give it a try!  And the page doesn't work for me either.

Unfortunately, nothing much great happened today but I did cook a nice meal to cheer myself up a little.

Took the day off. HB made breakfast and is about to BBQ dinner. I napped, read, helped the youngest with homework and watched part of a bad movie.

Texting with my MIL today. I got very very lucky in the in-law department as they're similar to my family and have the same sense of humour so I like talking to them.

Went for a walk around my area and then came across my old classmate back when I was school. It's amazing we live on the same road.

Worked outdoors on the patio. Will have to do that more often, at least the first half of the day before it warms up.

Oldest and I had to run some errands so we loaded the dogs up into the van and did our running around. Had the windows down, it was sunny and nice out. Came home feeling refreshed and energized. Nice change from the snow and doldrums we had two days ago.
