I'm drinking a cold fizzy wine in the garden. Anyone care to join me?

It's 30 degrees here still and I am on the aperol

CuriousCatfish · 17/06/2022 19:38

I had a Pimms but it is finished now. I'll be having another as soon as the DC are in bed though.

I wish I had bought some Pimms. It's summer in a bottle.

Garden?

It isnt garden weather in Yorkshire

It is in this part of Yorkshire. It's quite warm, only slightly windy, but I've found a sheltered spot, and not raining.

I've been out here about 3 hours and have had a can of lager <classy> and two G&Ts. I'm just chilling with some of my cats.

Razzlefrazzle · 17/06/2022 19:44

I'm on my second negroni - it's been a challenging day 😉

CuriousCatfish · 17/06/2022 19:44

You should be drinking the lager in your front garden, if you want to be proper classy.

Me! Cooling down now thank goodness! Two lovely glasses of wine in after a hectic week. Having a takeaway tomorrow.

For the comments about Yorkshire being cooler - I am in Yorkshire (South) and it's cracking the flags still- just shows what a massive county Gods own is!

I am in the front garden, because that's where the sun is.

I do sit quietly and it was Co-op's 'buy Ukraine's favourite lager to help win the war against Russia' offering, I'm not a complete wrong un.

Yes the weather on the map accross the UK basically sliced through Yorkshire and Lancashire dividing it into inferno and the Artic

Moonshine86 · 17/06/2022 19:59

It’s Raspberry mojito time here! Cheers!

mackthepony · 17/06/2022 19:59

South Yorkshire excepted, of course!

SparkyBlue · 17/06/2022 20:00

Grey and drizzly rain here

MogHog · 17/06/2022 20:02

No wine but I'll join you in spirit and enjoy my cold can of coke. Just in from walking the dog as its been far too hot until the last hour in this part of Yorkshire ( south)

Yup. Just a bit further north than you and my Pimm's is an indoor drink with a blanket covering my optimistically suited shorts clad legs.

Whiskeypowers · 17/06/2022 20:03

Rather close and foreboding here so sitting in my conservatory with the doors open in case of a storm. With a large gin and tonic.
cheers!!

Roominmyhouse · 17/06/2022 20:03

I’ve had 2 cans of cloudy cider in the garden after work. Taken a hiatus for dinner then will have a G&T. I’d have been all over the Prosecco had a bottle been in my fridge! Cheers OP 🥂

majorquimby · 17/06/2022 20:07

Pint of Stella here...DH is asleep on a lounger next to me, or was until next door started blasting the Top Gun soundtrack at a million decibels. Small child shrieking a few doors down. Restful it is not......

CuriousCatfish · 17/06/2022 20:09

All was peaceful here until 3 fat wood pigeons decided to scuffle about on the fence. I'm not sure if they are scrapping or having a threesome.

Flat wine, ice lollies and balmy heat here! 🍸

I have a couple who visit and often land with a thud on the fence

CuriousCatfish · 17/06/2022 20:12

I usually have two who like to strut about on the fence, but they have brought a mate this evening.

Prosecco here watching sonic 2 with dc3, who had a hospital appointment today, so we’ve paid for the movie as a treat. (He loved it in the cinema). Also dodgy weather here, after a glorious morning!

HashtagShitShop · 17/06/2022 20:15

I'm cheap ans cheerful but chilled lambrini cherry is perfect for this weather. It's dangerous though, doesn't taste like booze and goes down too easy 🤣🤣🤣
