    Wifey dragged me out in the pissing rain to do some shopping. First stop La Anonima where I got some streaky bacon and mushrooms both on offer. Next stop Dia where I spotted they had St Wendeler wheat beer at half price. Despite having a mountain of beer at home I just had to get half a dozen cans at 875 pesos each. Also got 12 KitKats at half price as well. :thumbup:

    It was going to be a two beer day. I usually have one when preparing the food and feeding the dogs at the back of six followed by another later with dinner. However,as we were so late back I just got on with feeding the dogs while the missus got on with putting out dinner. So my first and only beer today was an Andes stout....very nice it was too as it's been very humid today.

    I like a G&T but never at home. The only time I ever drink it is when someone asks me if I'd like one or when I'm on a flight. No idea why.

    We will have a Gin binge from time to time.

    Mrs GlasgowJohn likes a small gin as well , so when she decides we will have a couple.

    I used to enjoy a gin and coke from time to time when I lived in Spain and will have one very occasionally here.

    Haven't seen this one for a while. It's a notch above the canned beers , so when I saw it in the local Chinese I bought a couple

    2 mil for a 500 ml bottle.

    I think it was the same price when I bought it in November

    Could be wong but I'm sure serafina has and gave it a mixed review. I've always given it a bodyswerve.

    UK Man , if your good lady has Santander cards, there is an additional 25% off in Dia on Saturday. It's a modo promotion

    I will grab a few of the Negra, I think....
