Today, for the first time, I tried my first bottle of Bulmers Cider. I am not usually a cider drinker. I know what I like, cider I do, depending on what it is.
Hubby had a bottle with me - now he is a strongbow drinker as it reminds him of scrumpy and trips to Devon sees us bringing home lots of scrumpy to be consummed.
So there we are having a Bulmers.
"Nice isn't it?" says I thinking how smooth it was, how nice it was to drink in this warm weather.
"No, don't like it, its not strongbow" he says.
No kidding! That is why it says Bulmers on the label!!

We have just sat and watched, as a family, The National Geographic channel, watching these two 
in the Long way down, where they travel on their bikes from John O'Groats to Cape town in Africa. It was something that we got watching earlier in the week and the children decided that we hadn't had a family viewing for a while, and decided they would like to watch this from 4pm till 9 this evening.
Family viewings usually are marathon sessions of tv or DVD watching, where I buy lots of finger/buffet food which is laid out on the table to help yourself, a few drinks for hubby and I (hence the Bulmers cider) and we sit and watch whatever the kids decide we have to watch. Sometimes we might play a board game instead, but usually it involves tv or dvd watching.
Now I can hear sharp intakes of breath at this, all I can say is it is rare we all sit down and watch the same programme. We all have very different tastes, so to watch something we can all enjoy is quite rare and the last couple of times we have done this, it has usually been a documentary style programme which we can discuss afterwards. So tonight's discussion has been on how places like the Sudan and Ethiopia are portrayed on news items and how we think of them -starving children, people being killed etc. This programme showed us a different side, people being friendly and welcoming, how they live etc. Of course having someone like Ewan McGregor and being filmed may have shown why it is different but it was interesting and the scenery in some of the places they went through was stunning.
Hubby and eldest son are now watching a programme about pyramids now, youngest having retired to his bed. I will not long be out of mine it has been a hot day

The weather has been glorious here, though it is very muggy now, almost like a storm is on its way. The air needs to be cleared a little bit so I hope it happens tonight and is nice again tomorrow. I love seeing the sun, makes one feel so much happier.
So how was your day then
