Whats up for the weekend?

[El Presidente]

Relatively quiet one this weekend which makes a nice change. walk and gym now (after I tap this out), Zoom with Hamlet, knock out a couple of hours work, read the newspapers + Negroni (3) followed by Saturday arvo kip. 

I think I will cook up some pork rack for dinner and have an espresso martini movie night + a Fenomenos. Need to find a 2 hour plus movie classic. ......will report back. 

Tomorrow (Sunday), Ben and I are taking the boat out for a 1/2 day fish. I haven't been out for a while so am looking forward to spending the time with Ben and hopefully bringing home some dinner. There are a couple of cigars in the Fabrica 5 development  pipeline I need to try, so that will deliver the perfect opportunity. 

What's up for the weekend?

Quiet one also. Brunch with some friends tomorrow but today is life admin which I'm hoping to get through by 4 or so and then I've got Nobody 2 to watch with some ginger garlic chicken stir fry I've been marinating overnight. Some nice whites in the fridge so it'll be a cruisy evening. Hopefully step out onto the balcony for a cigar after.

Busy one.  Cigar reviews on Saturday, the start of the 2026 review season.

Sunday having some friends over for a couple of cigars, then off to the MILs to celebrate my birthday early.

I loved that school/sport stage of life taking Ben, Becky and Tom to the various week trainings and weekend games. 

Very special. Enjoy!

Locking myself in the studio, trying to bang out a new song if I can finish writing the damn thing.

Was going to start sanding and varnishing but oops ... found a water stain I need to bleach first and no wood bleach, fortunately my good lady is at the DIY store, so while I'm waiting ... Punch Short de Punch in the sun ... 2024 box from czars ... picked it because the foot had such a sweet scent and sure enough, nice white sugar on a mild sour dough body, touch of cedar, so light it doesn't need a drink... heaven!

Sheesh this DiY work is so hard 😜

Celebrating my birthday tomorrow! I invited only the people who are absolutely closest to me – those whom I love. My dear, dear friend, @Kilpatrick (who I recently turned onto Fab5!) suggested leek soup after finding put my favorite drink is Pol Roger.

So the menu is baguettes, chips n caviar, potato leek soup, ham & gouda sandwiches, Pol Roger, and a Swiss roll made by my fair lady. If the weather will allow, I'll light up a Robusto Trinity.

To keep the evening from becoming too French, we'll have the NFL playoffs blaring loud and proud the whole time! 😉

Cheers y'all, enjoy your weekend!
