…and to everyone as well. To be honest I couldn’t be arsed about posting but thanks to the above it’s the least I could do. I think I may have up to 70% (don’t ask how that percentage was arrived as I too found it baffling) of my olfaction back. I can’t detect dill or galangal (immensely irritating!) and to make matters worse, a cup of Kenyan AA tastes the same as a Colombian- blogging about coffee is currently stalled. Despite the lack of reviews I have been eating well, from a blow out dinner at The Square to one of the best supper club meals I’ve had this year that’s the Joginder’s Supper Club. I will write about them at some point.The above is a photo of my daughter’s pressie. She wanted a Strat but I got her an uke instead. She needs to convince me with some George Formby renditions before she can realise her Jack White aspirations.
Alas, my abstinence from grape juice is now history. After 14 months of being teetotal I couldn’t resist taking a peep at a couple of cases of Chateau l'Evangile (1990, for those nosey winos) I had in my possession (‘once an alk always an alk’ is fair do’s). Pinot Noir and Argentinean Malbec currently besot yours truly. The above also shows what I’ll be drinking this Christmas break. Christmas Day will be spent helping out at a homeless shelter followed by an epic walk from Islington to MsMarmitelover’s for a glass or two of Burgundy.The Muji bear may look childish as a prop but it’s my pressie from my daughter. It’s hardly a ‘Shit Xmas Present’! I love it, thank you Bron.
Meemalee, I’m back, albeit hindered; but thank you.

Joy on Christmas eve! Finally, Bellaphon. Welcome back.
The best Christmas present - bellaphon is back!!
Welcome back! Now let's see photos of what you've been eating!
Don't tell me I now have to admire you for your taste in wine as well as food??
Dammit.
Merry Christmas Les - if you need a hand removing some of those stubborn corks, let me know.
*smiles conspiratorily*
I know, I know.
I spelt conspiratorially wrong!!
Dammit AGAIN!
I've missed your recommendations - Every time I have a good cup of coffee, or a bad cupcake, I think of you ;)
blimey you are back!
Thora- Through thick and thin, you're champs. Just pray that BVB doesn’t have to meet Arsenal at any time...
Sue- So sweet, thank you.
Su-Lin- It's strange how one goes for a meal without fidgeting with the camera. I have a customer who's an eminent fashion photographer, he too has noticed how Orientals take pics of their meals at restaurants! He finds it irritating, well I’m going to irritate him more!
Dad- I've nothing against screwcaps but do I not like synthetic corks! I simply cannot exist without my screwpull. Oh, Wither Hills Pinot Noir, try that, it's mega!
IHC- Aw, thanks for taking the troubs. I'm well touched. My daughter recently brought over some samples from Cat & The Cream; they were essentially marginal!
Mark- Well, kind of.
Yay, welcome back!
I can't taste much either, probably because I can't smell. Infact, I cant actually breathe through my nose at all.
Which made xmas a bit of a shit one in food/ drink and enjoyment respects.
Oh well, hoping to make up for it over next few weeks!
Kavey Gorgeous- For me it could be a lot wor...if I lost my hearing, that would mean the end of my livelihood. Hey, thanks for passing by and I do hope 2010 finds you fully restored. Happs and loads more to you. X
Ooh. So pleased to see you back!
I have been pretty slack about getting out and about recently, but hopefully this will get better once the days start lengthening again.
YES YES YES!
The nagging worked \(^_^)/
We love you Les!
meemalee xxx
oh shikes back to the plonk!!
Glad you are back. Always enjoyed your musings and I hope for more in the near future.
Kake- Thank you. Let’s meet up soon to include a pint or two of real ales.
Meemalee- Why do women nag? And is it because I’ve stayed single for so long now…ooh I don’t know. Yes, on this occasion it worked and it’s also nice to be loved, thank you M.
Hen- I suppose Mum’s going to find out about it
Tehbus- Thank you young Sir and I enjoy yours as well.
Very new to all of this but we thank you for your lovely comment about the 'jogindersupperclub'. Look forward to seeing you again soon.
Welcome back Les! Hope you had a lovely Xmas and Happy New Year.
Niamh
Niamh- Darling (I mean it and all), thanks and to you as well!
How did I miss your comeback?! Not logged on for a while, but pleased to see you here on my first day back! Belated HNY to you! :D
Lisa Lili- Thank you and to you likewise. Please gissa a tinker when you're in London.
