gin and it

Jayne has become something of a gin connosieur. We sampled two bottles last night with Fiona - Lachie was supping red wine as he was driving to Ibrox today to take Alex for her first football game (a 4-1 won over Motherwell as it happened). We finished off the remnants of a bottle of Brecon Gin, smooth and subtle, and knocked off a decent % of a bottle of Shetland Gin. Bit later to bed than we had planned. Today with a wee gin head on her (I was fine, of course) we placed concrete in glorious sunshine in our T shirts. Slow start today but eventually two cubes in the ground, steel reinforcing in place - finish the job tomorrow. After the Archer's omnibus probably unless there is someone interesting on Desert Island Discs - 50/50 chance usually. We do work seven days a week on this build but we try to pace ourselves somewhat over the weekend - we'll still have placed over 4 cubes of C35 using 1.5 tonnes of cement - 60 bags - by the time we get home for tea tomororow. Amazing sunset over Islay - a sun ghost and halo projected above the horizon after the sun had gone down. Both knackered - its been a hard week in the trenches.
