Buenas Tardas from Madrid Mr H. have yet to see the outside of the hotel but am being taken out for dinner tonight.
Mini bar prices, outrageous, 6 euros for 40 gramms of Pringles, being Scottish a 40g tub doesn't constitute a snack, not even a mouthful. I bet crack is cheaper.
Will hopefully be imbibing some Xoriguer Gin Mahon later on.
I'm drinking a nice cup of coffee after a day on the beach. In the UK not overseas unfortunately. Nowt wrong with that but it would be nice to be somewhere else.
It's all about home-made Cassis - ideally it should probably wait until christmas but it looks and smells lovely and purple already so I thought I'd give it a go.
Had the best Bloody Mary ever today at Terminal 5, cost a fucking fortune but was the business.
BA have become right stingy with their booze, luckily I had the where with all to buy a couple of 1/2 bottles of vina sol at Barajas, so when the air stewardess told me that a complimentary drink meant one it was okay as I had my carry oot and proceeded to drink it and to think a couple of weeks ago I was sticking up for them against wee willie wanky walsh
I bet it wasn't more expensive than the most expensive bellini in the world I had on the south bank a few weeks ago. Utterly blissfully lovely but stupidly expensive. I don't know how my mum afforded it.
L is none too pleased as I am pished tonight, poor women had to pick me up from the airport when I demanded a tandoori mixed grill.
I feel a sunday rant coming on about crap brittish design, Terminal 5 as oppossed to cool european sophistication, Barajas terminal 4 but I may wake up in the morning and think better of it.

ReplyDeleteA good, strong cocktail at an airport is a fine thing, and hang the expense, says I.
ReplyDeletePS: I like a Vina Sol, also!
ReplyDeleteVina Sol is great.
