SPLASHING BOREDOM, BLOCKED HEAD

Salud, Kids!

I am already bored with the usual assortment of January chatter. Taxes, exercise, resolutions, blah, blah, blah. BORING!!

And, can you believe it?

We have already arrived at January 11, and you know what that means, right?

Don't disappoint me and say you have NO FREAKING IDEA.

Remember?

January 11 — National Step in a Puddle and Splash Your Friend Day.
The folks in the photo know HOW TO DO IT!! That is what I call splashing. Friend? Probably not, but I love their style.
They gonna need a Hot Toddy or two, after THAT splash. And, yes...they DROVE through a puddle, but let's don't split water particles over it!

January 11 - National Hot Toddy Day-WELL, THIS SHOULD BE EVERY SINGLE DAY!

See how I'm keeping this month jumpin'?

Do I have to do everything 'round this blog?

Oh, yes. I guess I do.

No matter, 1-11-12 has dawned and wouldn't you know it, the temps have zoomed back into the 80's here in South Florida. Not exactly hot drink weather.

Oh, who cares...move out of my way...it's TODDY and PUDDLE TIME. Now, if I only had a friend and a puddle it would be the perfection.

Hm, I wonder if it would count if I tossed a glass of water on a stranger?

But, wait. Seems I DON'T have to EVERYTHING.

British Bri and Mo have drifted back to Bath (where they live, not the tub) and promise to regale us (he didn't really use that expression) with tales of Morocco.

However, he DID send his thoughts on all things Hot Toddy, including how the libation is excellent for a blocked head/nose. Sounds better than Advil Cold and Sinus.

Kids, if Bri can get into Hot Toddy Day...WHY CAN'T EVERYONE?

So, read on...

Hoping that everyone over there (IU Says: he means us Yanks) has had a superb National Bittersweet Chocolate Day (70 to 80% cocoa rules OK?).

(IU Says: Bri, every day is celebrate chocolate day 'round these beaches.)

We also want to wish you and everyone over there (IU Says: Yanks, again) an excellent "Step in a Puddle .......... Day" - not forgetting National hot toddy day."

I never knew that the US had so many special days (IU Says: neither did we) - are they all holidays (we have no idea, Bri)?

But, Pam - hot toddy?

Years ago in my home area (the north of England) this was a preparation of a hot toddy mixing whisky, boiling water, and sugar or honey (IU Says: sounds good to us, Bri).

We sometimes added cloves and even cinnamon (supposed to clear a blocked head/nose).
Why ruin a superb drink (Scotch) with anything but water? I do not add anything to my whisky - and certainly not, if it is my usual 12 or 18 year old single malt whisky (IU Says: Wow, everything we drink was made last week, Bri).

We are holding onto our supply for your visit (IU Says: see why we adore Bri and Mo?) - but it gets harder and harder not to delve into our little "stash" (IU Says: we understand, completely, Bri).

I understand that in the US Bourbon is mixed with Ginger ale - is this true (IU Says: huh?)?

Love to all - Brian (sorry Bri) and Mo.
