    Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
    Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
    Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

          In 2010 [cf posts above] we seemed to be tippling with armagnac* - I see no reason to abandon such a sensible practice...

          Salut!

          * other beverages are available

          I hope libations and other junketings are in order.

          Here it was a cheapo Freixenet cava - saving the better stuff for next week...


          But celebrate - the world didn't come to an end ( ) - more importantly, the days now get longer...



          ... and again, all best solsticial greetings.

          I find that it was a cheapo codorniu cava today - as in 2012, we're saving the better stuff for later in the week.

          Sho - shoshtishal greetings - after tomorrow -[ 8ish in the morning 22 Dec in 2015] - the days get longer
