No, I'm on at night a lot because H sometimes works late or even overnight. But I have normal hours.
It's such a pretty bottle, I wanted it for pictures! But practiciality won out. The Lamb. isn't the same we normally get. It seems a 'fancy' version. The were out of the normal kind.

Oh, KJB, drinking kills everything. You should definitely drink.
We just found the Swedish NYE celebration and seriously it's so... maudlin. I have no idea what they're saying but it's really.... sad sounding. Plus? They're standing outside in a blizzard. Sucks to be them!

One of my dear friends is Swedish, and NYE with her usually involved heavy drinking until the sun rose. That wasn't so bad, as long as we were indoors. I can't imagine why anyone'd be outside in the snow for long.
I'm glad that your H is feeling better. Cheese and wine cure most things, I think.

Ladies, I like wine of all varieties (ESPECIALLY RIESLING. MMMMM.), lambic beer, hard cider, margaritas, vodka gimlets, and a whole host of other mixed drinks. Ordinary beer doesn't do a thing for me, so as long as you avoid that, you'll be taking one for the team.
Baby squirrel appreciates your help too. He just kicked the crap outta me to tell me so.

Guys. Seriously. This is the weirdest NYE ever. So, everyone on this Swedish show is wearing big fur coats (because it's snowing onto the stage) and the host is seriously wearing a cream colored, fishtail skirt, with heavy duty white boots and a white fur coat with a hood. Hilarious.
