Gin vs Vodka
Friends have often asked me how I coped when the ex wife left me, I have to ask them which time they are talking about, she left a total of fourteen times. But always came back except for the last time of course which was on Christmas eve 1999.
My answer is "spent Christmas alone" this always gets me some sympathy. I remember waking up Christmas morning and thinking that's it, never again, partly because I had done some serious damage to a bottle of Gin the night before and partly because I was determined not to have her back again. It was over, finished, done with, Kaput, an ex relationship; I was determined but miserable.
Not because I had lost the love of my life, but because she had taken my jewellery and what money I hadn't already spent on her presents with her. It was a lonely next few days I spent with just my thoughts, a large bottle of vodka (I had given up the gin remember) and a bleeding great turkey I couldn't possibly eat alone, although I did tackle the bits that weren't burnt.
The night before new years eve, there was a knock on my door, I opened it to find Kerry standing there with a sweet smile on her face, come on she said, you can come to my house and help me get things ready for the party tomorrow night. How could I refuse, it was a chance to get out of the house, have a few drinks and a laugh, Kerry always made me laugh.
Despite the difference in our ages we were alike, we listened to the same music, liked to party and always told each other the truth, we were good friends. New years eve was spent rolling around on the living room floor and enjoying a cheeky little vodka that claimed to be of Baltic origin. We saw a lot of each other after that.
In fact I spent the summer of 2000 with Kerry in my back garden which is a sun trap, trapping sun and drinking bottles of wicked, until we realised that it was cheaper to buy the vodka and Iron bru separately and make it ourselves. Always free agents our new relationship was and never is talked about, a sort of communal denial. Still it works despite her finding a partner and having a child.

strange but beautiful story.
I LIKE VODKA ^_^
In life you have to experience both happiness and sorrow.Without sorrow you can't feel the presence of happiness. Like you ,I also like to drink vodka. I like to drink Smirnoff . It looks like water when poured into a glass. It mixes well with other drink like orange juice,etc.It is a good base for cocktail. The aftertaste is sweet. It can be paired well with dine and cigar. I prefer to Buy Cigars online.
