Blog2026 ≫ Lovely wine tasting

Lovely wine tasting afternoon with https://www.curedandsmoked.co.uk in Hythe yesterday. Perfect timing for me to be cutting down the amount of wine I am drinking. Maybe I just cut down the volume of wine I am drinking but still drink nice wines? We tried about a dozen yesterday, mostly Spanish. We started with a cava, had a few Hungarian rieslings in the middle and ended with some reds and then a sherry. I bought the rioja that was really good, I will buy some more, I made a list. I brought the rioja home and then remembered my plan not to fall asleep in front of the tv drinking wine. So I fell asleep in front of the tv without the wine. We watched Amazing Spiderman 2 while wife was out at her hen do. Not her hen do, you know what I mean.

This morning we walked back to Hythe for cricket club. There is a match on Friday! It's too early, surely, he can't play this match, he's only been to two sessions. It clashing with my planned trip to the Potting Shed is not why he shouldn't do it.

Today just chores I think, a Tesco run, get uniforms ready for tomorrow. Oh then I can sit and read my comics I bought yesterday. Then start the week again.

Light cloud and a fresh breeze, 6 - 14℃.
