Weekday Drinks…

He Must Be Unemployed!

Just over a week ago, I had another birthday (16thFEB if anyone wants to mark their calendar lol).

Now, don't get me wrong it wasn't a landmark year and be assured I have already had a slack handful of those!

However, a couple of friends asked me if I wanted to join them for a late breakfast at the local town (Orce, Andalucia, Spain). It was a last-minute thing but I thought “hell why not, it’s my birthday”.

We nestled down and ordered some food, and the bar-restaurant owner, knowing we all usually ordered certain hot drinks, came over and shook my hand, wishing me a Happy Birthday. Added to this he plonked a bottle of Ron de Meil (honey rum) in the middle of the table along with a set of shot glasses….oops!

So, what do you do?

It’s a weekday, usually a day of toil for most…was I prepared to leave the shots and just have something to eat then leave?

Well….

Nope!

So, we ate, we had shots, the Mayor popped in to wish me Feliz Cumpleanos (Happy Birthday)…and then we started on a couple of cold ones.
