Good morning Luis

Wishing you a better day today and a bike ride with Jamon by the river

I've got a realy nice bottle of white Rioja in the fridge... But the Jamon Iberica was finished a couple of months ago They would have been so good together!

Just wishing you a good day.

Hugs

Kevin

Hi Kevin!!

This weekend the grandchildren have come to visit us and the bicycle weighs considerably less ... but it still allows for some excursions !!

Put the bottle of white wine in the fridge (7 to 9ºC) and run to the store to buy 250 g. of Serrano ham from Teruel.

Take the opportunity to take a picture with the phone of the Rioja red wine that you see on the shelves and I will give you some modest indications. Wine is one of my hoobies.

A big hug and happy day.

Luis

I can't post a pic on the thread...

It's Arnegui

Viura Blanco

Pagos del Ray SL

Don't be embarrassed to say its a poor wine... Wine is not one of my areas of knowledge!

Fantastic - family gatherings and food is what the world is all about

Ah, no - the Serano here is not so good unless bought from a Jamon dealer or rare quality delicatessans... I bought my Iberica from a Spanish importer... He even helped me pick the farm it came from... One of the farmers still making it the old fashioned way without Nitrites and with the proper period in the fields eating acorns... My bank balance took a dip! I take food seriously lol

Big hugs and a happy day to you and yours

Arnegui Viura 100% is a good wine (in Spain around 6 €)

Congratulations!!

Luis

[Kevin_1 in reply to LuisRodicioRodicio]

Great

Here nearer 9 €

I am enjoying it immensely

[Aprilfool20 in reply to Kevin_1]

Lucky you. Can’t drink anymore - one sip makes my legs even wobblier - Just have to make do with a sniff! It’s the thing I miss most especially as the weather is so lovely-used to sit and contemplate in the garden whilst watching the birds.

[LuisRodicioRodicio in reply to Aprilfool20]

I am sorry.

Hugs.

Luis

[Aprilfool20 in reply to LuisRodicioRodicio]

Thanks Luis but am gradually getting used to drinking elderflower or cranberry - white or red depending on my mood!

[Kevin_1 in reply to Aprilfool20]

Sorry to hear that.

Are you no t able to sit in the garden any more?

That is a loss.

So sorry.

[Aprilfool20 in reply to Kevin_1]

Can sit in garden but no booze! Also sun makes me very hot in no time so about 10 mins and I need to go indoors. It also distresses me that I can’t potter- not used to all this sitting around.

[Kevin_1 in reply to Aprilfool20]

That's miserable Jayne.

At least you have a good voice here... A valued one.

Warmly

Kevin

[Mamapiggle in reply to Aprilfool20]

I can manage 1 glass of wine but sound like I had a the whole bottle x x

[Kevin_1 in reply to Mamapiggle]

My legs often don't walk correctly due to an old spinal injury which is coming to the fore as I get older... on cold days I look like I've had two bottles!

I do hope you can get into the garden to contemplate.

Warmly

Kevin

[Aprilfool20 in reply to Mamapiggle]

Sounds about the same and I hate the loss of control!

They're just warming up.

[LuisRodicioRodicio in reply to Kevin_1]

I believe that our friends are waiting for a picture of our bicycle for excursions.

[Kevin_1 in reply to LuisRodicioRodicio]

I think you should post it...

[LuisRodicioRodicio in reply to Kevin_1]

Goodness me Kevin! Even for me this talk of wine at 9am is a trifle early, your hardcore! 😆 x

[Kevin_1 in reply to Satt2015]

Oops

I've been caught.

🤪

Doesn't everyone have a glass on the side to sip whilst on their exercise bike?

And my exercise bike used to have an ashtray fitted to it too. But I gave that up...

Waiving hello have a good one

[Katiebow in reply to Kevin_1]

Fags, booze and good food, sounds good to me even though I don't smoke.

[doglington in reply to Katiebow]

What about the exercise bit, Kate ? Thats where I lose interest [ I don't smoke either ]

Jean xx

[Katiebow in reply to doglington]

Oh I forgot about the exercise bike, did Kevin mean he gave up the fags or the bike!

Love K xx

[doglington in reply to Katiebow]

I think the fags. If I remember when we met up he is all muscle !!!

[Katiebow in reply to doglington]

I hope you are reading this Kevin! Thanks for making me smile Jean and yes I do believe he was rippling.

K xxx

[Kevin_1 in reply to Katiebow]

Chuckles... But to clarify - I gave up smoking and thus no longer needed the exercise bike as an astray holder.

You two are v e r y naughty!

[Katiebow in reply to Kevin_1]

Apologies Kevin, I think were acting like overaged (very overaged) school girls, but very funny!

K xx

[Kevin_1 in reply to Katiebow]

No it was very funny

Gave me a morning chuckle.

Thanks

Anyway, I'm too old to be grown up all the time.

You've both given me a smile with my breakfast
