I thought I was very sophisticated when I was allowed to drink Port and lemon. Now it’s gin and tonic, or very occasionally a gin liqueur with Prosecco. Hot drink it has to be tea.
And yes, my real life friends and I have talked about our discussions being about the same subjects, but something new is always found to add interest. I think the same goes for GransNet, but judging by all the baking, present buying and wrapping going on, perhaps people are busy?

Someone asked is this 'what we are reduced too' referring to another person's post. I guess we are running out of things to discuss as none of us are going anywhere, all our social activities are no longer available so can't discuss the pros and cons of those, and we are relying on the news, family issues and the more mundane areas of life to put up posts. What do you think?? this is not a critisim just an observation. 
Not essential but certainly recommended, Callistemon.
I’ve just had Christmas cake with some Wensleydale and cranberries. I’m wishing now that I’d had a schooner of sherry with it. Yes, I still have a couple of the glasses, though they’re smaller than I remember. Perhaps I used to go for the double schooners.

I was really ill after a night out on rum and blackcurrant - disgusting.
My family Whstsapp group is much quieter than usual as we have nothing much happening in our lives at the moment. It's the same on GN I think, how many dog walks and baking sessions can we discuss.
No more dog walks, pleeese. I'm wrecked!
Well, I’ve yet to see any talk about one of the most important topics of Christmas.
Should the trifle contain jelly or not?

Interesting thread
Having hated jelly in a trifle, years ago, one Christmas, I made a trifle with pears at the bottom, big layer of sliced double chocolate muffins soaked in a massive glug of rum, custard (sometimes chocolate custard) and cream. It became a favourite. Small one this Christmas for the two of us.
No one ever moaned about the lack of jelly. Children had a non-alcoholic version.
