Shit! Back to the office again...
It was a lovely weekend, over too soon. As always.
As we try and reconcile the fact that work is a necessary evil against the inner desire to just say "sod it", it's cheering to note that today is World Cider Day, when my favourite tipple gets the recognition it deserves!
On this Tacky Music Monday, I have found a most apt way to celebrate:
Utterly perfect, in every way.
Have a good week, dear reader.
Oh, thanks for the song. That's immediately where my mind went when I read “apple cider.” Is the blonde in the GIF someone from work who always refuses to get out of your way?
ReplyDeleteOffice politics - with big shoulders! Jx
DeleteDo you remember Cider lollies from the 70s? They were nice. Could do with one now.

Cider lollies were my favourite! I wonder if Lyons Maid still make them? (If they did, I'm sure they'd be a third of the size of the ones we remember.) Come to think of it, is Lyons Maid even going anymore? Questions, questions. Jx
DeleteOO, my grandma made cider every fall - and put up some hard cider that would have you crying on the roof in your underpants. Wow that stuff was strong!
ReplyDeleteI've known some strong ciders in my time, but I do prefer "quaffing strength", so I can drink it all night and not get knocked into a coma... Jx
DeleteI haven't had cider for ages.And were cider lollies those frozen things on sticks? I must try making some!
ReplyDeleteIt's a perfect thirst-quencher - and I drink enough of it, so I'm never dehydrated! Yes, cider lollies were frozen on a stick, and were delish, as I recall. Jx
DeleteThey really were!

I think Asda do them now - but I bet they don't taste as juicy as we remember!
ReplyDeleteSx
I wouldn't even know where our nearest Asda store is - it's not prolific in London like it is elsewhere in the country. I could try Iceland to see if it does them but, as you say, they would only be a disappointment... Jx
DeleteMake your own!
DeleteAny cider in the house goes into my glass, not the freezer. Jx
DeleteWot, World Cider Day and No Adge Cutler
ReplyDelete'Drink up thy zider, drink up thy zider
For tonight we'll merry be
Drink up thy zider boys, get it off thy chest
Drink up thy zider boys, it's time we had a rest
There's nothing like more zider to make thy smile grow wider
And there's still more zider in the west'
I would have posted a Worzels number, but I probably would have needed to translate it for my dear readers... Jx
