I wasn't aware you kept drinks? At least not for long...

Drinks cabinets are for the upper class, wine stoppers are for the middle class, and us plebs are lucky if we get to cut our melted down 78 gramophone records with Co-Op orange juice.

VB has a wine cellar. Dead posh he is.

I am dead posh, but I have a wine rack and not a cellar...
And this Covid lockdown thing meant thee are a few empty spaces in it now

Why, have infected people been stealing your wine?

Yeah, my gin cabinet is looking a bit forlorn, I will have to start on the rum cabinet.

Been getting rid of some money today as Memsahib has been talking about buying furniture.

She also took an old wardrobe in bits to her sisters this evening and I narrowly rescued my wargames boards from the pile of mdf.

So purchase wise:

20mm WWS Plastic Strelets French just one box, just because I like boxes of plastic figures, just to test if I like paiting for the period.. You know how it is.

12 Little Britons 42mm to be painted as 2nd Afghan War British Colonial
4 gun crew as above

Several ebay bids on books and 54mm toy soldier goodies looming.

I also bought an 8 pack of non-alcoholic Bavaria beer (made in Holland) for £3 in the tesco shop before Memsahib snatched her phone with the tesco app back off me. I'm still on 'high alert' with Mini-Tim still in hospital so can't drink until I know for sure we won't get a call to say she's escaped and running around the hospital. I've been craving a beer for the last two months and this was the best I could do. It's so shit I switched to cold chamomile tea instead.

My Kingdom for a pint of Timothy Taylor's

Does the offer include all the troops therein?
If so I claim my prize as there's a pint in the post

You could always try Becks Blue or Budweiser Prohibition. Both are still alcohol free lager (I’d rather have lager free alcohol) but if you chill it well one of them might hit the spot for you

The best zero alcohol beer is made in Iran. We used to add alcohol in the form a tinned vodka.

I don't understand what that means.
