Or is it too early in the week for whiskey? Light hearted

Just had a bit of a shit day. A couple of big decisions to make over the few days and I can't even look at the news without feeling slightly depressed. I've just had a beer but is it too early in the week for whiskey?

If its Scottish then its Whisky without an 'e' and its never too early!

Honestly just make it a double. It's practically medicinal.

No. It’s all arbitrary when your week starts anyway.
Had a small sherry before bed last night. Lovely! (No whisky in😂)
Enjoy it and I hope it helps with the decision.

Oh but it must be a single malt too. Any blend and it'd be too early early in the year if it were 31st December.

It's proper single malt. Loving it right now.

Never too early (well it would be for me as I don’t drink whisky 😂) but if you fancy one crack on.
Sorry it’s been a shit few days, I’ve had a terrible week (not had a drink but only because I’ve had to do a lot of driving and now I’m just too tired to have a drink! I’d fall asleep and miss my dinner 😂).

I’m sitting drinking a Peroni if it helps make you make decision. Would probably have a whisky if I liked it!

Go for it OP!!

I'm having one now and listening to a podcast. It's happy time.

Conkersinautumn · 01/03/2023 20:22

I've finally sorted the wbd costumes and fully intend to raid the booze. Cheers! Sorry its been a difficult day for you.

ModerationInEverything · 01/03/2023 20:28

Lol at pp. I was going to say, it's never too early for whiskey with an e 😉

I wish I liked Whisky, I imagine I would sip it by a fire place on a cold rainy afternoon with Frank Sinatra playing in the back ground. Quietly contemplating life. Sophisticated like.

Instead, I drink gin, listen to manic street preachers whilst being a general fish wife.

Sorry you’ve had a bad day OP, have one for me x

I don't really sip it tbh. More of a gulper and then I feel sad it's done.

It helped put things in perspective. My life is quite good in the scheme of things.

…looks around guiltily-takes a good long sip-looks around again with a smile…

Nope…my clock and calendar agree right now is the perfect time (with or without an “e”!

@Quveas you are a woman after my own heart. I am in total agreement with you. I would add that any 'mixers' are the work of the devil.
