I, with my husband enrolled to a wine of the month club, thanks to the couple that chose to stay with us on a weekend who extended the invitation to join the club. I think it as a wonderful gift of courtesy. Ever since joining the club, we receive two bottles of wine every month. My husband doesn't care about wine and he asks me what to do with that much wine. I found a solution to the problem. I decided to use my membership at a club of different kind, a book club to make the most of the sample wine bottle I would receive from the wine club.

I met the members of the book club at a meeting and told them about the wine I get from the 'wine of the month' club. Till then it is not a problem finishing off the wine. We picked a book on wine making, wine testing, wine sampling and stories of people related to wine making and serving industry. We are book club members, you see. The next meeting of the book club was planned at my home. By the time the meeting materialized, I had some unique bottles of wine. We discussed the book (really!) while sampling the wine. It was a nice thing to see wine of the month club was mentioned in the book. Now tell me what should I call the meeting - wine of the month meeting or book club meeting?

I agree it was the loudest book club meeting we ever had. Different sampling wine glasses were emptied at regular intervals. It was great fun for everyone. Was it wine of the month club that added fun and value to our book club meeting or is it the other way round? It doesn't matter till we have something for our intellect and for our tongue as well.

The membership fee to the wine of the month club is quite reasonable and most of the book club members joined the club as a group. It is nice that the hostess always something unique for the guests, even in the form of wines. Some of the wines are great tasting while I don't really like all of them. It doesn't matter - there will always be takers for the tastes that I personally dislike. It is only natural for us to note which wines perform well on our tongues and which one doesn't. We will be purchasing the ones that raised some prolific cheers.

ARGH!!! I am so excited about going to Texas tomorrow I could vomit. I really mean that. I've been bottling it all up over the last few days as it was all about Mavis. Tuesday was a truly shit day at work. A constant uphill struggle. A relentless battle against a barrage of shit which just kept coming at me from all angles. It was always going to be that way though, it's Sod's Law on the last day before a holiday and you have to experience the depths of corporate bullshit to appreciate

Here's what happens: We work most of the morning. To use the terminology from the Mista's list, we 'do the back, do the front, clean out the basement and go through the tax shit files' so Saturday morning feels kind of cheated away from me. By the time I'm through with wiping 2 weeks of building works grime from the leaves of the Laurel trees in front of our flat (part of 'doing the front'), I've got streaks of mud across my forehead, assorted grime covers my hands, grimey water trickles down m
