I’m walking over 100km this month (although I will probably have to raise that goal because I’m nearly there already), and growing my first ever beard at my tender age! All in aid of #Movember. Please donate at https://movember.com/m/14876723?mc=1

This what I think I look like still, and what I really look like now…

For NHS shift reasons, tonight is Christmas Eve for us. My daughter enjoys choosing what to leave out for Father Christmas. This year he’s going to be full and drunk!

For my #AlcoholicAdventists this evening we have vodka. As if eating the mince pie, nibbling the carrot and downing whatever snifter the kids chose for @FatherChristmas a bit later wasn’t enough!

We’ve got our own Damson vodka on the right, but that would be cheating, so I’ve chosen the Wildcat vanilla vodka. Do you remember mixing your ice cream around until it turned into a soup when you were a kid? It’s like that but with a kick!

Tequila is not my drink of choice, but I am a martyr to the cause for you, my #AlcoholicAdventists. In fact, I am having it neat, and it’s not as rough as I expected. Perhaps it’s because it is a good quality 100% agave Tequila.

What are you lot drinking this #AlcoholicAdvent evening?

A tasty homemade Damson gin is on the schedule this #AlcoholicAdvent evening. We made about 4 litres of it last year from the single Damson tree in our garden.
Tonight in #AlcoholicAdvent we have the much more palatable Port. We’ve got both white and ruby to savour.
Well my little #AlcoholicAdventists, we are into the final stretch. This evening I am imbibing Calvados. I’m not joined by anyone else in the family - it’s an acquired taste. Are you keeping up with the #AlcoholicAdvent schedule?
Tonight’s drink is the reason that #AlcoholicAdvent was created. We went to Malta on holiday in February and were persuaded to buy a bottle of prickly pear cactus liqueur in the airport on the way home. Of course we haven’t drunk a drop of it since we got home. Without this tradition we’d have yet another bottle in the cabinet! It is very nice though.
Are my little #AlcoholicAdventists keeping up on cocktail night? We’re on to Blue Lagoons. What are you all drinking?
