Chocolate and Wine! Yum


Yesterday was a very chilly but very pretty day. The snow on the mountains (which I can see from my kitchen window) was sparkling in the sunlight and I'll bet that many people played hooky from school and/or work to get up on the slopes and ski. And - as far as I am concerned, they are welcome to it! I lived in Chicago for 5 years and have no desire to ever play in the snow again! T'aint no fun when you have to shovel it in order to get out to the street! Grrr! I hate snow. But - I will try and get a few pictures before it melts.


We went to the doctors office to get the authorization paper for Mr. Indi's visit to the specialist but it turns out that we don't have the authorization yet because they (the big THEY) need more information. The woman at the doctor's office was unable to tell us what information THEY need but she did promise to make a couple of phone calls and get back to us! How generous of her! As of 5 p.m., we had not heard a word. What a crock!


After our disappointing visit to Lord Nelson's abode, we took a trip down to the World Market because I needed some tea bags. Mr. Indi wouldn't let me push him in the transport chair as he doesn't trust me in the World Market! (You will remember the unfortunate incident where I squashed his leg between the racks of beer and cases of wine!) Tis a good thing too! The place was jam packed with even more cases of wine AND, although I'm not a big wine connoisseur, I had to buy a bottle of a German Reisling called Moselland Landmark - BECAUSE - it has a lovely picture on the bottle! See the bottle on this web site:


Now, how could I resist? I got the one called Hollywood - but would also like to get the Golden Gate Bridge. Interesting - No? Well, how else do you choose wine?


Mr. Indi had another good night last night - thanks to the Benadryl - and he is going to start back up on his model Spitfire that has been sitting in the garage for weeks. I'm going to have to bring all the clobber into the house as it is colder than a grave diggers bum at midnight in the garage. But I don't mind the mess; I'm happy to see him with enough energy to want to start up again with his projects.


Today's picture is the box of yummy Russian chocolates that Anatoliy kindly gave to me last Saturday - and which my guests got their grubby little hands into!
