Hanging out at Knob Creek

Written by on September 1, 2010 in BLOG - 27 Comments

I am very lucky.  I am still good friends with people I went to school with.  I don’t see them as often as I should, but I am fortunate that when we get together I feel like we’ve never been apart. One by one we are getting married and having children.  It still strikes me as amusing that any of us are really grown up enough to be parents.  I’m not sure that will ever change.

On Sunday I was at my friend (The Doctor) from school’s hen do.  It was a very sophisticated affair with champagne, polite sandwiches and not a moustache in sight.  It was a lovely day and I have to admit to being fairly merry.

So merry that I reverted to being in high school again and just had to take a picture of some whisky called ‘Knob Creek’. Oh how Lisa, Mary and I larrrfed.

Later, when I may have been three sheets to the wind, I became rather enamoured with my friend Lisa’s handbag.  It was lovely.  Here is my second picture of the day.  At least it’s more sensible than the first.

These pictures are this weeks entry to Tara Lara’s Gallery.  This weeks gallery is to mark a very special occasion.  The pictures were all taken on Sunday, which is the day that three spectacular UK bloggers, JosieSian and Eva flew out to Bangladesh.  They are there to help raise awareness of the work Save the Children is doing with mothers and children in one of the most poverty-stricken places on the planet.

    Odd. On this side of the pond, Knob Creek is a pretty famous, pretty good whiskey.

    But if you go into a bar and ask for a “Knob job”, well…

      I’m sure it is a good whiskey, I have no doubt.

      … and I hope you haven’t recently asked for a knob job in a bar.

    Hehehe…

    Also just read your post about Scary Sally, I laughed so hard I choked on my tea! But I would be just as scared…as a child I had to turn all my dolls and teddies around on my bed so they wouldn’t stare at me!

      I used to do that too. Scary Sally will be staying in the car for a while, until she’s accidentally left at the tip.

    I’m a big fan of Knob Creek. I keep a bottle in my handbag at all times.

    Tee hee, I love being taken back to high school humour :D x

      The problem is, if I’m honest … I never switch off my high school humour. In fact most of it could be described as ‘primary’.

    That handbag is FABULOUS….looks a bit like a Mr Whippy ice cream, stick a flake in it and after a couple of glasses of Knob it would probably be consumed.

    Trust you to notice THAT bottle. Mind you, saying that I felt compelled to buy a bottle of wine in Spain once for no other reason than it was made at a Bodega called ‘Arses’. Simple pleasures, and all that……..

      A woman after my own heart. Arses wine. Genius.

    I wonder if the Knob Creek whisky is closely related to this one at all: http://www.wired.co.uk/news/archive/2010-08/24/pissky

    Good luck to those traveling to Bangladesh.
