08:57: I woke up several times throughout the night, before falling back to a rather unpleasant sleep. I woke again later.
The morning light was illuminating the curtains, my throat felt like it was on fire, my head hurt, my mouth tasted like I'd gone to sleep with a soldier's sock in it, and I was cold!
The air felt like Ice, it was almost physically painful to be exposed to any part of it. I made what must have been half a dozen pitiful attempts to block all the gaps in my bed that were letting the cold air in, and fell asleep again. Eventually though, I accepted that I had work to do, and decided to get up.
I hate having colds, and now we're out of lemsip. Bleah, meh and crap.
22:05: Right, I've spent the entire day feeling crappy, but I have at last finished my dad's christmas present! After only six months!
Nothing went well, CD's wouldn't burn, manuals kept getting ripped up, scissors etc etc kept going missing and files became corrupted, but the damn thing is now done, at long bloody last!
With that in mind I'm going to get onto the Amaro shortly, but first I have a few things to do.
22:50
Right. Amaro is another herbal liquore, and is sold and drunk in a wide variety of ways. It's not rare, but it is popular, which I spose means that if I like it, I can get more :).
I don't have a lot to say because i'm freezing, dripping wet from the shower, and I still feel ill.
So let's make with the Amaro.
BOTTLE TEN (I think?): AMARO
I still don't know what's going on with the name (penis mountain?! :p), but the drink is a lovely rich brown colour. So without further ado, let's get the photos taken and let's get drinking.
22:58: Upon opening the bottle, I was greeted by the smell of (according to my temporarily partially non-functional sense of smell) Dental Mouthwash. The taste is something different though, as per the name, this drink is bitter. Very bitter, with a hint of sweetness in the aftertaste. It's like the Amaretto but in reverse. That said, it's pretty nice, not a drink I want to rush though. So let's get on with enjoying the Amaro, the last of my christmas countdown drinks, and reflect on the fact that in one hour, it is Christmas Eve. I draw my first paycheck for five months, in less than an hour. Woo! Well, I'm off to chill out, and educate my lil buddy Conory about the difference between Bitter and Bitters, and just generally relax and (insofar as it's possible to do so while ill), have a good time! Merry Xmas - almost!
