The Australian Bureau of Meteorology is publishing a great calendar this year full of Australian scenery and interesting weather. I like the themes of nature and activity - calendars of gorgeous scenery can be just a tad boring and inexpressive of the dynamic phases of the year.

So I just made myself a G&T nightcap (I don't normally drink this kind of thing just before bedtime, but what the hell), and observed the fact I have no less than three different kinds of gin to choose from. I also have no less than four kinds of rum, two vodkas, and only two whiskies (one Irish, one Scotch. I normally have two kinds of Scotch whisky). Then there's tequila, Grand Marnier, and sherry. And four beers in the fridge. I finished the wine I bought on Friday last night.

So, I wonder if someone walks in the door - my booze is sitting prominently on the first bookshelf as you come into the lounge - and thinks I'm a complete alkie? Oh well. This stuff sits around for literally years: I bought the Scotch when I was in England in June 2008, and it's still half full. I like variety, and not necessarily quantity. Also, how can you make decent cocktails or ensure that all potential tastes are covered without the basics¹ around? :-)

¹(Except ouzo or sambuca. Sorry to those anise-lovers!)
