A dry Martini is like a plate of toast.

No hang on, it is.

Let me make with some exploinage.

Have you ever had that thing where you trot from the kitchen with a couple of freshly buttered slices of toast on a plate, and got to where you where going to eat them and stopped, only to be struck by the laws of momentum and had the toast continue moving due to its low grip characteristics on the shiny plate surface, and sail off to land buttered side down on the shag pile?

Well a Martini is just like this. Due to the big wide topped glass thing a good Martini is always served up in, and the fact that it is always nearly brim full, you have to move very carefully with a Martini to avoid it ending up on the floor due to sloppage or down the front of someone you are trying to impress.

Now this knowledge causes you to move very carefully when Martini drinking. In fact you have to move slowly and smoothly. So they do in-fact make you either look very calm and graceful, or like you are trying to do an impression of someone getting beaten up in that old tv series "Kung Fu" (ie - in slow motion)

And no, I have never spilled a Martini down someone.

At least not without offering to suck it out of her bra anyway.

In other news, Sarah had a good day today being looked after by me and Shipscook, playgrounds where investigated and played in, Fish fingers and potato smiley faces where had for lunch (yes - by us big hairy blokes as well, because deep down we are still 8 years old) and massive fairly liquid fueled bubbles where blown in the garden.

Sarah has gone back home now with Jo and now Shipscook, Mrs F and I are off to a restaurant down the road for some nosebag.

May see yas all later.
