Japanese Booze
Congratulations to Tony and Saori on their recent wedding in Japan. And thanks for bringing me back some sake.
Normally this stuff comes in bottles so I was quite curious when I got these:I’m half way through the one with the pink flowers and it’s bloody lovely. I’m going to save the other two for another [...]

Great night and what a hangover

7 hours, 7 long hours and still not finished
It’s enough to drive you to drink.
A friend bought a new laptop for his son recently. Nothing special about the laptop, an Acer Extensa 5220 but quite nice nonetheless as a surfing, mail and watching DVD’s machine. They bought in mid April and it went kaput 5 days ago so he asked me to take [...]
