The Barman is away, so I have a Sevilla gin and tonic #ConfinedCocktails. It has been a week, with dad's funeral and Child 1 starting university. Having a very quiet weekend!

Regrouping after a week of sadmin with a very strong 5:1 Martini #ConfinedCocktails. Not sure about this adulting lark, but it is soothing to sit in the garden and get (a tiny) bit of sun.

Raising a glass to my dear old dad and watching the rainbow. He would have told me it is a perfectly natural scientific phenomenon and to stop being so fanciful 😆
