Two bison piss vodkas please and make it snappy!

BISON GRASS VODKA

You are not going to believe this. After everyone cut off their ears with the absinthe drink, Mikhail produces this vodka. It's pure grain but with grass in it. Not too bad I hear you say....NO! The flavour is infused by the grass being freshly pissed on by a Bison. This is then quickly picked and put into the Vodka.

Google BISON GRASS VODKA if you don't believe me!

Who first thought of that? And can it be done with dogs wee?

We have an everlasting supply of that!

ABSINTHE.

Wasn't it Boney M that sang about those crazy Russians?

Oleg takes charge of the Absinthe drinking competition (that's the stuff that sent Van Gogh so mad that he cut his own ear off!)

You burn brown sugar on a spoon over the absinthe till it melts and ignites the liquid below.

Only 60% proof!

Still, I don't think it did me any harm..Mind you..I can't hear a f***ing thing this morning!

JD AND THE DOGS

For all those that like "soft pictures", this is for you.

Our Russian friends Natalie & Mikhail have just got a chocolate labrador puppy called JD (short for Jack Daniels)

When we took Kip and Bella to the BBQ, they played for about an hour before being totally shagged out and then they crashed out together.

KIP & BELLA

They are now walking far enough to go to the stream where we took photo's of Gruff earlier in the summer.

Both were not too sure of the running water.

Don't forget you can see the pictures closer up by clicking on them!

APERO RUN

Lilli's is in Landabia. The landlady is the "All France Women's Shot Putt champion*

Not really, but you would not want to get thrown out by her!

The "Little Bistro" in Pleven.

A decent pub by the church, but very few customers.

A recent summer habit is for us to go to a couple of pubs in nearby villages for a swift beer before dinner.

MINGERS!!!!!

These two were considered to be so ugly that they were forced to hide their faces under a very large umbrella until the Gard family had finished eating!
