Ice cold in Alex
Well sadly I have not appeared in The Sunday Times rich list, ooops, sorry, The Sunday Times top 100 blogs here. That must be in part due to the delinquency I am demonstrating with my regular entries.
If its not work getting in the way (shurely not?....ed) then its the social distractions of Edinburgh which are responsible. I have been eating and drinking pretty well lately, and it has caused me to stumble upon one of those annoying restaurant habits which I think should be stamped out.
I tend to drink white wine when I am out, and a crisp nicely chilled Chablis usually fits the bill perfectly. Imagine then when I ask for it in a wine bucket, and a contraption more filling for flowers turns up at the table. I really can't understand why they try to indicate that this cooler thingie can begin to take the place of an ice bucket. If the wine is slightly warm then the cooler will maintain it at that temperature, and placing a few ice cubes in the bottom does not alter the effect.
So come on all you patrons who read this site, get those wine buckets in when next I visit, and dump the coolers round the corner at the florists.
