It is indeed and if you like your Rioja Oddbins are currently doing Marques de Caceres Gran Reserva (2000) for 16.99. A mighty fine bit of grape I must say.

Anything alcoholic would be welcome at this stage but I'm fighting a canvas at the moment and it's winning!!! Another layer of size and gold leaf to go. I refuse to be beaten. I want it finished and out of the house ...then roll on the wine. Oh well off I go to battle.

I don't think it should count as a coffee, i only drink it because thats what i changed to when my ex moved in, i didn't drink coffee all that much really so that's all i have in! It's nicer if you put the milk in before the water for some reason :shrug:

Didn't catch this part of your post last night. Blame it on my being overtired and preoccupied with my work.Sorry.

You never really get a good effect with gold paint used on really large areas. Lacquers are a bit better but for the best effect I would use Gold Leaf on transfer sheets or probably transfer sheets of Dutch Metal. (which are considerably cheaper)

Re: The what are you drinking now thread
 
On Friday, went for drinkies with Friends. Started the evening drinking Magners, then drank pitchers of lager.

The downside is that yesterday, I had to go work. One of our lecturers got a MacBook Pro and asked me to set it up on Friday. So, on friday, I copied our Mac OSX image to it. Waited for it to verify (which it did), then, when it restarted, it "blue screened". So, I had to go in yesterday, set it up manually, performed the various modifications we require (we require quite a few, and it is fiddly, hence me using the image). Ran all the software updates. Rebooted, and created a new image.

All told, it took over 3 hours.. The nice thing is that for a lot of the time, I was waiting for the Mac, and there was no one else in (no staff or students), so I could play some music and really test the decent set of speakers I'd been given for the computer.
