On Being Alone - Massively Premature

f4f3So I've been on my tod for a massive 18 days. I don't think this is long enough to form a clear picture, but, surprises.
1. It's oh so quiet.
I haven't been watching TV, or listening to music or the radio. Which is unusual. I have always had a tendency to stick on music or Radio 4 when I'm on my own. Not happening.
2. Cheers.
I'm not drinking much. I had an ill-advised amount of red wine on the night I went out for a French meal, but that was mostly down to forgetting how much there was in a pichet.I bought two bottles of malt whisky on Sunday, and a wine pouch on Monday, and haven't broken the seal on any of them (that's not a usual rate of buying - Sunday I was in Loch Fyne Whiskies, which has a realistic claim to be the best Whisky shop in the world, and they always fix me up with the good stuff - this time it was a Ben Nevis (Ben Nevis shut around 15-20 years ago) and a Baillie Nicol Jarvie, which isn't a single malt, but it is a very good blend that I associate with Edinburgh).
3. I'm not going out much. Yes, I saw![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
widgetfox last night, but that was my only night out this week (eating on my own doesn't count). I have plenty of friends in Edinburgh, who've all offered to keep me company, but I didn't seek it out. Being on my own feels ok just now, except when it doesn't...
And on that note, I'll fold down my sofa bed.

Date: 2012-04-27 08:12 am (UTC)For a long while you could only get it from the Scots Malt Whisky Society. The new bottling is an attempt to reproduce the original style of Highland bottlings - it's peaty, and very heavy, completely different from the light, unpeated expressions that are fasionable now.
