Sober October no moresteemCreated with Sketch.

OK... It's confession time... πŸ˜‚ Like a friend pointed out this morning 'no more sober October'. πŸ™„πŸ˜œ I stand abashed. I made a statement on my blog about doing a SOBER OCTOBER and I was seriously planning on a whole month during which I planned to consume NO alcohol at all..... Have you ever heard of or partaken in a SOBER OCTOBER before? Well I've done it before and I was planning to do so again.

All these wonderful plans were made before I knew hubby was gonna be home for half of the month and those who know us knows that we're not the best of influences on one another where diets and no alcohol intake is involved... πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ 24 years of partnership has had that effect. And not in a negative way. Just that we enjoy food and the occasional glass of wine or alcoholic drink with it so going 'sober' for a month with him around is near to impossible.

Chili infused Green Island Rum

So I now confess that my SOBER OCTOBER is null and void. I might have to revisit this in November. And can you blame me if the man infuses our rum with things like chili and lemon slices.. πŸ˜‚ The previous one had some cinnamon and ginger. OMW. It's really to die for. So.... Confession done. Now I can enjoy the drink and not feel so bad.

We've just started up the weber so it's a nice drink to accompany the braai. Just saying. πŸ™„ 😊
Happy Sunday!

Cheers!
You just made me realize I completely forgot to infuse some vodka with fresh herbs this season. Maybe it's not too late :0)

πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ Glad I could act as a reminder. Hope you are well. ❀️

It's nice to have plans, and sometimes it's even nicer to break them...

It is always easier to put the blame on somebody else or something else πŸ€ͺ What's that pendant you are wearing, a rino?

πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ Someone's got to take the fall. Yes it's a rhino. A pupil of mine's mom gave it as a gift a few years ago. I wear it often. Thank you for stopping by ☺️

Rum infused with chilli and lemon sounds delicious - I definitely think it worth having a little tipple! Maybe it should be marginally less for October instead πŸ˜‚

I fear it's too late... πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ πŸ˜‚ But thanks for the concern. The chili and lemon infused rum was so gorgeous it pushed me over the boundaries. I'll try again some other month. πŸ˜ŠπŸ˜‰
