Beautiful Day

Today I used up a bit of one of my birth­day presents, a ‘six-pack’ of beers ‘from around the world’, lov­ingly selected from Cold Stor­age.

It was a mind-sapping day, so I thought, what bet­ter than to crack open a bot­tle with the biggest kick. Hoe­gaar­den De Ver­bo­den Vrucht. So fruity, macam like fruit punch, but oh what a punch.

Then in the mid­dle of the night, I took a drive to nowhere but ended up at a McDonald’s drive through I’d never dri­ven through before, and called the wife to see if she wanted some nuggets. She said I was evil, but OK, one six piece McNugget and an iced Milo please. I said McDonald’s where got ice Milo one? Are you try­ing to make me make a fool of myself like the time I drove through with­out stop­ping at the order­ing booth and went straight to pick up and stared at the staff and they stared right back at me?

A while later, we sat at the kitchen table and ate our non-supersized meals with one iced Milo and a medium Coke.

Rough day or not, it’s not all that bad if I can sit down and share a meal with the wife at the kitchen table.

Later, I watched her pack for her trip.

Go ahead, knock yer­selves out. 8.5%!
