I think it's a decent enough time to open a bottle. The weekend is officially upon us.

Of course, I'm on furlough so the days are all blending into one right now but I'm trying to keep a bit of a routine going!

Cheers all. Wine

I'll join in, thanks. Getting to the end of a busy week dh and I both working from home as well as child care and chores.

Still got an hour to go - but as I'm at home, I'll be fine cracking a bottle open! (I have done some of my best work with a glass of red in my hand Smile)

I'm so ready! Got about two hours until both DS are in bed. It's been a long week, DS1 got his first choice primary school yesterday and I'm ready to kick back.

Every Friday at 4pm for me. Lockdown or not.
Best time of the week!

MinesaPinot · 17/04/2020 17:49

I'm in. We're having FaceTime drinks with our friends at 6 and DH is just about to open a bottle for me (he's got beers)

My dd (20 yrs) and myself , last Friday, mixed gin, campari, dash creme de casis, tonic water and threw in a few frozen berries.......It was delicious!! Going to mix another one soon....we named it 'Lockdown cocktail " 🍸🍹.... Cheers😎

Loving the drink choices. I'm tempted to buy a few bottles of liqueurs next weekend and see what cocktails I can come up with. Wine

Do you think other nations and knocking it back like the British?

BobbinThreadbare123 · 17/04/2020 18:50

I cracked a beer at 6. Much needed as work today, despite being done at home in my pyjamas, was stressful!

mbosnz · 17/04/2020 19:00

Do you think other nations and knocking it back like the British?

Well I know two that are - NZ and Australia! (Of course, that's based on family and friends, so there's a possible bias in the survey pool.)

Waxonwaxoff0 · 17/04/2020 19:00

Temp I think in French and Italian culture they have wine most days anyway with meals, don't they? Maybe they've progressed to having it with breakfast during lockdown. Grin

My Prosecco’s just chilling in the fridge and I’ve found some Christmas Chambord to mix in with it chin chin 🍾
