Divinum 2023

Posted on April 5, 2023June 8, 2023 By admin

Another Divinum completed. I volunteered 4 nights out of 6 this year, and it was still just as fun as in previous years. I’m starting to recognize many of the wine producers by face, and that’s a nice touch. Most are a really good bunch who appreciate what we’re there to do, and are always up for some wine-related banter. There are a few grumps, but it’s not too bad.

As always, the classics from Enoteca Capponi did not disappoint. The usual suspects: Gillard, Varone, Bonvin, Tulipe, Ours, Crans. We discovered some very nice Pinot Noir from Salquenen, which is going to be nice, light summer wine. I don’t usually care for Pinot, but these were a surprise. Found a new quaffing wine too.

And as always, there are advantages to being a volunteer on the last shift of closing night…

It’s a dog’s life

Posted on April 4, 2023April 5, 2023 By admin

The chonk just loves to sit on the balcony, gaze over his domain, think deep thoughts and woof at the occasional delivery van. Now with the sun getting in on the action, he’s going to be a nightmare to get in off the balcony.

When your coworkers comment on the background noise of your work call

Posted on March 30, 2023 By admin

Badonkachonk likes to climb up on the sofa and nestle besides me when I’m working from home. It’s cute, but he snores like a chainsaw.

Subtle way the dog tells me I shouldn’t go to work and stay home with him instead.

Deep chonking thoughts

Posted on March 25, 2023March 29, 2023 By admin

This is the chonk lord’s default morning position. Full belly, empty butt, heavy head, pondering the mysteries of the universe, occasionally growling at the lady with the umbrella coming out of the building next door.

Heading home after a long day of chonking, with my own seat on the bus.

Quote of the day

Everything starts somewhere, though many physicists disagree. But people have always been dimly aware of the problem with the start of things. They wonder how the snowplough driver gets to work, or how the makers of dictionaries look up the spelling of words.
--(Terry Pratchett, Hogfather)
