I bought some HXB in Lidl, which were surprisingly good. I never buy the various flavours they have come out with - for me, traditional is best 😋Happy Easter.

Really loud and prolonged thunder then hailstones yesterday - thank goodness for the seat under the roof of the telephone exchange

Back in the game this week after being bedridden for 3 days with sciatica last weekend. After 2 chiropractor appointments during the week, I'm mobile again. As I've had lunch out with friends, just a snack for tea and a digestive - creme limoncello - have a good evening everyone. #ConfinedCocktails

Teatime 😊 pate biscuits and a vodka and tonic. Hope everyone has a good evening #ConfinedCocktails

Well that was a different day
Firstly the car wouldn't unlock or start, think the key battery has worn out. So back indoors to do an hour & a half's work (OAP pass not allowed until 9.30). Bus was quite quick. Did my exercise minutes so that was a bonus. Now having a coffee & cookie in town #TeaUp

Bottle of Limoncello, bottle of red wine plus glass of red wine.

My usual lunch with friends now cold meats etc. Lidl have got Limoncello back, so no cocktail but red wine and Limoncello. Hope everyone has a good weekend #ConfinedCocktails

You mean he can't see it in the stars 🤣

If you like it, peanut butter filling with the chocolate is also good 😊

A very quiet and uneventful week due to the weather, not a fan of walking in the 🌧️. Having prosecco as wanted something fizzy, sorry no pic. Hope everyone is having a good weekend #ConfinedCocktails

@melindahaunton.bsky.social Relaxing day. Lunch with friends. Nothing romantic (was mother's birthday so never celebrated Valentines). Too old for a relationship, so don't celebrate. Having slow gin as an aperitif then prosecco later. Hope everyone enjoys their celebrations. #ConfinedCocktails

It was providing an actual signature and adding to the form that stumped me - ran out of time but won't be standing outside in the rain anytime soon.

My sister had the same issue re our mother 😧

I hope Tyrrells are referring to the packaging and not the crisps

For the last couple of weeks I've been watching YouTube videos from the Llangollen Canal Breach, absolutely fascinating. Found this premade in M&S which reminded me of my Italian holiday last year #ConfiñedCocktails

I have one of those heated throws, which keeps me warm when watching TV and it also helps a little with the temperature in the room. Hope you can keep warm 🫂

Dinner tonight baked potato (which I managed to overcook) & cheese, the last of the Christmas pudding with custard. Drinking last of New Year fizz (stopper nearly took my eye out, so much for there being no fizz left?) Pic is from NYE
Watching Marchlands - refreshingly different. #ConfinedCocktails

Hope you had a lovely birthday.

Happy New Year - fizz not cocktail #ConfinedCocktails

Chips and dips, chocolate so far plus whiskey and coke. Will post HYN pic at midnight. Wishing you all the best for 2026

Our local castle is decorated at this time of year. #Illuminate

2/2 When I got home & found out I went & bought a sim for my old phone never did get it authenticated, EE useless. Bought another sim when in town today, eventually got it authenticated & working. Now sitting with a rum & coke watching SCD (not a fan of musicals) - sorry no photo. #ConfinedCocktails

1/2 Well what a dramaic couple of days. Yesterday was our work's do in London. It was nice food but not enough, micro catering that wouldn't fill a mouse. Went onto drinks afterwards. I dropped my phone, fortunately my colleague picked it up. I didn't realise until I got to Waterloo.

So glad that muscular guy who always had his shirt open has gone, I found it quite revolting. I didn't really gel with any of the couples this year and so haven't voted at all. I wouldn't have voted for him on principle.

Evening all ✨ busy day, eye test, then breakfast in my favourite coffee shop. After which I had my nails done. PM I went shopping and bought a skirt for works do. Now relaxing with cherry vodka & tonic in an unconventional glass watching Strictly #ConfinedCocktails

Evening everyone, not been out today as one of my lunch companions wasn't well, so have spent the day on the Scottish Indexes Conference. Now settling down for Strictly with Teriyaki Salmon and a glass of red. #ConfinedCocktails

🤣🤣🤣
