  Drinking pinor noir and watching the live action Cinderella from a few years back- some of the scenes are so beautifully shot. It’s the kind of movie that makes me want to believe in true love and obnoxiously huge dresses.

  I have recently discovered wine in a box, and it may be super daggy but it’s very convenient.

    Back in the 70s, a bloke named Len Evans was a notable wine expert. Consulted all over the world for his fine palate yada yada. A snobby USA reporter asked him what he kept in his cellar - expecting a list of fine vintages. Len (bless him!) replied 'Oh I don’t keep a cellar - all the cardboard boxes went soggy".
    Seriously, our cask wine just outperforms all other countries on the cheap but good standard. Do not, I beg you, drink cheap wine in France. It’s called vin du table because it’s made from real tables. Of the chipboard variety.

      I believe cask wine was invented (the cask part) in SA, so it’d make sense we’re quite good at it!

      I don’t really want the pressure to drink the whole bottle in a few days. Sometimes that’s easy, sometimes I go ages without a drink. 4 litres on tap, that’s cold whenever you want, is super convenient.

    Fruity lexia or Coolabah?

    • underwatermagpies@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Pinot Grigio, but it’s on the fruitier end of tgat spectrum. Goes all right with my gourmet dinner of hummus and savoys.

  I love the Aussie classics 🤭

  ‘With air chew, with air chew,

  Iker nardly liver there chew,

  An I dream a badger kisser snite and die.

  Phoney wicked beer loan,

  Jars-chewer mere nonnair roan,

  An weed dreamer batter mooner pinner sky…’

  I’m not sure if I want to put just to buy snacks today.

  I know I’ll have to go out and buy new shoes and socks and a milk frother from kmart but I’ve felt like I’ve left it a little late.

    It’s the last day of school holidays and the weather’s bad, I’d avoid shopping centres if you can.

    • Duenan@aussie.zone ⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      Too late. I’m already there and parking was a nightmare.

      Pretty crowded as well with kids here.

      I didn’t even notice it was school holidays. Why can’t I have school holidays too 😭
