A Hiding in the house post

[bunn]

We were going to be energetic this evening, but a thunderstorm has come, so we are hiding inside and playing loud music to reassure the hounds.

Az is shaking and panting and fretting, although he's not as panicky as he once would have been.  Brythen is keeping very small and quiet so that the thunder will not notice him, and sitting on his bottom a lot looking apologetic, so that the thunder will know he is a very good boy.  Both of them are intermittently hiding under philmophlegm's desk, which they clearly consider better protection than my sofa over here.    Dogs are funny things.

I am drinking lime squash with frozen raspberries and blueberry vodka.  Yes, that is the blueberry vodka that chainmailmaiden bought, that I did not pay for, because I didn't drink any of it on the weekend when it was bought.  Note to self, must replace Chainmailmaiden's blueberry vodka before she comes to visit again and finds me out.  And the elephant juice too, come to think of it.

Whoops, the electricity just cut out.  It is hard to play loud music without electricity, so let's hope it doesn't stay out for long.

Aaaaand its back!

I couldn't help laughing at this description.

That drink is very attractive-looking. =D

And delicious! It gets more raspberrish as you go down!

I think you'll find that's the Blueberry vodka I put in the trolley & intended to buy, but got beaten to the checkout by LOA. Drink all you want :-)

That does put the blueberry vodka into a vexed and difficult moral position. Arguably I should replace it with fruit wine or something more LOAish?

*drinks more blueberry vodka and considers this matter gravely*

Blueberry vodka really a sort of fruit wine, just the wine bit is made from potatoes not grapes :-)  At least I think there's a good case to argue there :-)

Cheers!

I think we had the same storm in Keynsham. I have a good view south west from the kitchen window so I watched the storm front roll in before

FLASH CRASH BANG etc. All very exciting.

But the electricity stayed on.
