NO I used to enjoy beers...but they have been off limits for the past six years due to their Gluten content from the malted barley [the Coeliac thing]...the GF beers?...resemble a very little alcohol diluted with lots of lucozade [thrice times yuk yuk yuk]...that is why Ouzo or brandy figure in my life...

'they get a bit bigger and thicker around the body as they get older...' Sounds familiar!

Hi Maureen just read your comments about my Lady she was far enough away from me not to freak out or allow anyone to try to kill her...she has since disappeared but when it gets hot will probably be back...I'm the only one in the house who will go near them even Hubby won't...they are called Huntsman Spiders and are quite harmless to us but boy do they get through flies and mozzies...this one looks quite young they get a bit bigger and thicker around the body as they get older...she is not at home tonight perhaps out on a date XXX

Hi Maureen I'm glad you didn't get that awful weather that was forecast Mum-in Law gave me a bullitin that those ont he East coast of England were going to get some bad weather from the Baltic states...I'm going to start painting again tomorrow night now things have settled down I will work on and finish the unfinished landscape...I will be off shopping Sat as I do every Sat alone it's lovely...I have an outfit to buy for an upcomming wedding so instead of art gear i'll look at clothes instead LOL
