The weather at Carey Bay hasn't been the best lately so, this evening after dinner, when conditions were pleasant with a lovely breeze off the lake I took my can of Coca-Cola out on the back verandah and watched the passing parade. The local sailing clubs host twilight races on a Wednesday evening so there were a few yachts about.
It was a pleasant interlude until the bugs started to bite. Next time I will make sure I use the insect repellant that was on the table beside me.
When away from home we often turn to a Humble Hamburger for a safe choice and something familiar on a strange menu....and it's usually washed down with a Diet Coke.

I am rather fond of drinks that have bubbles like Perrier and Pepsi or my other favourites Coca-Cola and Champagne. As we are no longer allowed to call our wonderful sparkling Australian wines Champagne I just call them all Bubbly.
In our family we celebrate everything from births to burials and any event we deem appropriate in between with a glass or three of bubbly. As I'm not a connoisseur of fine wine I will drink practically anything as long as I like the taste. Over the years I have samples a few tipples. Here are a few. CHEERS!
