The Asmo is not much of a drinker either. He dislikes the taste of alcohol.

Hot whiskey doesn't count as alcohol. I believe the heat kill it.

You just keep on thinking that

No, Essie May is quite right - Hot Whisky and lemon is a sovereign remedy for all man's ills.

Almost makes me want to get a cold. What am I saying? Half a lemon in the kitchen, whisky in the cabinet: time to put the kettle on ....... Just in case any of life's ills decide to strike. 😉

I don't want to do it - rant about the weather, again. But there's just no avoiding it this time.

Tomorrow it's November, and it is STILL hot! I mean, it's not like one random day is hot, and the rest are nice. Every single flipping day has been hot. Summer literally has not ended.

I spend a lot more time outside than I did previously, and my tolerance level for this never-ending summer, going into November, is gone. Most of the trees are still green... Geez, when I was a kid, the peak of colors happened in October.

Unpleasant weather is always a valid reason to feel grumpy.

It's starting to heat up here, possibly rising to 32C tomorrow. I'm not looking forward to summer.

Poor kids...it makes me sad and angry.

Another kindergartner asked my son, "Are you going Trick-or-treating tonight?" My son said, "Yes!" Weird kid: "They're celebrating the Devil's birthday today, those who celebrate his birthday  want to kill god."

That coming from a kindergartner?! That is so messed up!

Yes, it is.

My son asked me what the kid meant, so I said to him, "There is no god and there is no devil, so I don't want you to ever feel afraid of those two." He said, "OK."

Disregarding A and B being unrelated, one has to ask; yes. And?

I have been seriously craving one of those meat pies that I had in England and there is nothing like them on this side of the Atlantic and I'm mad. 

[OldGit]

Is there any practical way of getting some to you?

[Icarus]

Buddy, hie thyself down to the supermarket and visit the frozen foods section. There you will find all sorts of exotic....maybe not so exotic,.... meat pies offered by brands such as Stouffers, Marie Callander, Amy,  and other labels. Admittedly they may not have the exact same ingredient or particular taste as our Brit counterparts would proscribe, but about as close all you can get here in the colonies.

Or get a cook-book and make one yourself.
