irish whiskey and a rest

on

It’s 6:21 am and I’m drinking Irish whiskey. I’ve worked the past 16 days, straight thru. A group of vBritish middle school students has been visiting, with me as their tour guide. I have shown them my domain, the grandeur of the Middle Kingdom: The sites, the temples, the 5,000 years of history.

They boarded their bus at 5:30 and I’m knackered. Sleep is in order. Have you ever been so tired you don’ know which way is up? That’s me. I wish myself sweet dreams.

    Was it the Brit kids that gave you the whiskey?

    Hi Stevo,

    Just out of curiosity… did you manage to buy Kilbeggan whiskey in Shenzhen or Hong Kong? What’s the availability of Irish whiskey over there generally?

    I spent a few years in Guangzhou myself (’97-’99) and there was exactly one place I could buy a bottle of Jameson. I wonder if it has changed much.

    Cheers,
    Dave

  10. Jackie: No, their teachers.

    Corina: I did.

    Kathleen: Come on over, I’ll pour you one.

    Shawn: Thanks.

    QR: Maybe my third or fourth wind.

    LFC: Not so lucky.

    AJ: Awake, barely.

    NM: Count yourself as lucky.

    David: Alas, David, it’s just a photo. I was drinking Jameson’s. I’m more of a Bushmills Single Malt man.

    that is less a work schedule and more a test of faith, faith in the vague possibility that there is an end to a 16 day workload!
