If life gives you lemon, just add vodka ;)

Not that I've been getting too many lemons recently. Simply because I can afford it... as an immigrant. I can now buy any alcohol I want and there are heck of a lot to buy... and more importantly – to drink :)

There are emerging some minor issues when it comes to the DRINKING part, though.

First of all, I've set up myself a target of at least 20 (thinking of increasing the figure now) before I open any of them. How am I doing? Perfectly well. Not tempted at all. I keep cool with 'my' two-for-£5 Italian wine(s) every now and then.

Second thing is that no one chips in for the collection, but I bet "the last damn grosz" that every one will be more than happy to taste... Hardly any of whom will be more than welcome (Chris, feel invited to binge-drinking-spree-to-be :*).

Thirdly, as far as I know myself and my Jewish skill, it will be heart-breaking to open the bottles and empty them little by little. I already have a soft spot for each and every centilitre ;) Have just started and already reached a dead end...? No worries. By the time I get my fancy shaker to mix A Kick in the Crotch and A Big Fat Monkey Kiss (Gosh! I will mix drinks even just 'cause of their names), I will have employed a laid-back approach to drinking ;)

Exactly 60% of my army in single file

The rest! See how I look up to them? ;)

As for mixing and collecting, cannot see any problems. Money is there, patience is there, new ideas are there. Although when I see how many alcohol types I should be using to mix a proper Airhead (and, what type of alcohol is Razzmatzz? Google [a search engine and NOT a browser] help!)…*

The completion is likely to take a lot of time, but time is money, which brings me back to the money-is-there starting point.

Hey! It's a hobby, isn't it? And I don't expect my new hobby to finish soon. So far, I am bubbly every time I can buy a new bottle and my choices are well-considered (whatever it means in this context) and mostly triggered** with what I can find in Mixology app
(https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/mixology-drink-cocktail-recipes/id320926534?mt=8).

It gives me joy, smile and... tranquility (?). I've set myself a goal and every 75 (or 50) cl brings me closer to the success. Come to think of it, it actually misses the point of fun, so am I really good for it?

Be that as it may, soon you may need to subscribe to yet another blog... If you know what I mean :)
