the instant i saw this some recent things came to my mind… and then they all promptly abandoned it, so i’m trying to recapture them lol

being completely absorbed in research on a topic i adore, scouring every nook and cranny to divine everything i possibly can, to fulfill a duty/assignment or just to satiate my own inquisitive mind

that good tired feeling you get after a fun day at the beach or a bit of gardening, or just any outdoor activity that completely distracts you in the best sense from all that strenuous movement - then coming home and feeling the ache and freshening up [and getting a second wind perhaps] and having a drowsy tipsy rosy eveninged dinner with good company and wine and conversation… then bed to a long solid uninterrupted sleep mmmm

petting dogs. any dogs. but especially big dogs who think they are lapdogs and smother you in their warm furry unconditional affection. more dogs please

trying little nibbles of different cheeses at my local cheese shop, at which i’m a regular; chatting with the bespectacled, sparkly eyed boy behind the counter who always beams at me when i come in, knowing that i’d clear them out of half their stock if i could [and gladly indulging me far over their sample limit sometimes]; seeing his sweet shy smile over the square of wax paper with the flavour melting on my tongue

my new purple lensed, silver rimmed cat-eye sunglasses that i now wear with EVERYTHING !!

OOHHHHH mine goddttt, I’m cryingggg lol !! Since a message appeared in my inbox immediately after I posted that I naturally assumed it was associated lol

Well, for an everyday whiskey I go with a mellow Irish usually, say Tullamore Dew [”Give a man person his their Dew.”] or classic Jameson [can’t go wrong]. Redbreast is scrummy, too. Then for a treat perhaps Method & Madness or maybe switch it up with a Scotch like a Macallan or a Glenlivet, the older the better imo… As with most things, I like my wine tall, dark, brooding, complicated, and devastatingly handsome. I only drink red, with the exception of champagne if it’s a special occasion. I enjoy a good full-bodied cab or merlot or even a malbec - just as long as it is medium dry, not too sweet, complex, notes of dark chocolate and spices, maybe a bit of oak, dark berries, and a lingering air of mystery to finish… it should taste like an agatha christie novel just before the denouement, when you’ve already sort of figured it out but not quite… yeah, I’m not too picky. Hahahaa I’m particular af but ahh well. I can’t always afford to be, darling. You’re blogger’s on a budget, honey. [pssst, sometimes I make do with California Roots red blend for $5 from Target, which is delicious for the price !! but don’t tell anyone…]
