Neil, you suddenly spring up and, for sure, fill my day all flowing and happy. Lots of love !
The peach vodka is past me. One fine day, I went home and declared to me wife and sons that drinks are no longer a part of my life's routine. It wasn't a vow. But, truly, it 's dropped off as a habitual ' looking forward to ' I was used to. And this, when just the previous day I had purchased two big - sized bottles of ' Celebration ' rum for my week's quota ! The two remained on the shelf for several months, untouched. Untill, someone I greatly love dropped in with family to spend a day with us ... when the two of us finished off one of the bottles as part of a most unremebered but happy evening. The other ( bottle ) remains to this day, on the shelf. This year, we 've had a poor harvest of all those truly delicious varieties of mangoes this land is famous for. It 's yet one of those routines, albeit annual, when I 'd gorge ( the gourmand way ) on a few of these kinds - the hybrid langdas ( chausa, malda, bombaiya ) and juicy unhybrids, and dashehries on occassions. The season fills me with the riot of flavours ... and the proof, that God exists ! You ' colonials ' must not miss it ... the mangoes, while it lasts. Take care, the medicines for diabetes must not be forgotten, too. On Jul 7, 6:29 am, archytas <[email protected]> wrote: > I agree with Vam.
