For a refreshing, thirst quenching tequila cocktail, the Paloma is definitely at the top of the list and it's a favorite in Mexico. It's a light, fruity drink with a great fizz and one of the smoothest tequila drinks out there.
Almost any blanco tequila works well in combination with the grapefruit and you may also see this cocktail with grapefruit juice and a splash of soda instead of a grapefruit soda like Squirt.

Its Friday, we all deserve one of these!

Village life.

Looking out my window this evening, not much to see except my neighbors over the road trying to move an extremely large , ole tv set and fit it into the back of a small hatchback car! It doesn't take much to amuse me really! Also watched a local man putting up some very unsafe looking scaffolding at another house down the road....you had to be there really! Its not that I stand at the window all day I just feel that I should keep an eye on these things, otherwise how would anyone know they happened! This road is normally a quiet road where not much happens so today was quite an event . Anyway, we wont be here much longer as we are moving round the corner to a bigger house. At the moment I sit here surrounded by cupboard boxes, honestly , a tramp could move in and have a sleep and I wouldn't notice!
