what did you get in the post today?

I got this!
From a very silly and totally adorable Frenchman who lives in Germany, and who I am lucky enough to call my friend.
Thank you honey, both for the surprise wine and for making me smile.
Maison Louis Latour
Grand Ardèche Chardonnay 2008
Vin de Pays des Coteaux de L’Ardèche
The Grand Ardèche Chardonnay comes from Southern France. The grapes are treated as if they were grown in one of the Grand Cru vineyards of the Côte d’Or. Fully-ripened grapes are selected and pressed lightly before being aged in oak barrels made at the Latour cooperage in Beaune. The result is a full-bodied wine that is smooth with notes reminiscent of exotic fruits and vanilla spice imparted by the oak.
I wonder if it would pair well with The Haggis…
Maybe, it would certainly pair well with The Spanish Single Malt!
I got a letter telling me my annual eye check is due. Coincidentally I also received a text message from my dentist telling me my 6-monthly checkup is due. Last week I got a letter from the doctor reminding me I’m due a smear test. As the car’s due a service about now too May’s gonna be full of check-ups.
But I also received the train tickets for a trip to London I’m taking mid-May – me & my mum are going to see Pricilla Queen of the Desert. So it’s not all dull and dreary.
The both daily news papers I subscribe to. Or technically I guess they’re not in the mail since they are delivered in the wee hours by a newsboy.
Silly and late for the house-warming, shame on him!
You know, by the time I get around to the rooftop housewarming party you’ll probably be ready for another trip to Sevilla. Lovely surprise, honey.
I got a book that I ordered from the Amazon used list. Horribly habit forming.
