06:03 pm - Great weekend

Previous Entry Add to Memories Tell a Friend Next Entry

Congratulations to [info]velithya and [info]myfr! They had a lovely wedding, it was a great time. In addition to seeing the happy bride and groom, caught up with a bunch of people I don't see terribly often. It's really great to see people you like so happy.

There's ample photographic coverage of the event provided via [info]arinellen and [info]theducks :-)

In other respects it has also been a good weekend. Haven't done an awful lot, but have relaxed and caught up with people. Only a four-day week too, which is nice!

Now, to business: I'm thinking of having a party! The idea hatched while talking to [info]flyingblogspot at the wedding; my taste in Scotch apparently needs to be improved. Thus, I'm thinking of having a bring-a-bottle Scotch party. Who's interested in coming? Post a comment if you are, and I'll then try and figure out a date. I'm thinking approximately a month from now.

You won't actually have to bring a bottle yourself, I guess we'll sort it out so that there are bottles split between people (or something.) This part of the plan requires further thought! Anyway, the idea is to have a few bottles of scotch, maybe some nice food, and spend an evening appreciating it!

Who's in? It'll be fantastic!

Good idea, wish I'd actually gone through with it. Will be away anyway. :)

Given the LJ essay I got from [info]flyingblogspot a while back, I should probably come along too, provided it is not a Maeve period!

"my taste in Scotch apparently needs to be improved"

Don't mind me, I just like to berate people about pointless things!

I reckon if we can get together one each of a typical Highland, Islay and a Speyside, it should make for a good range for tasting.
