Drinking in the afternoon is the reason we all became self employed (if we did), isn't it?

Tricky when the wife is at home though, so I recommend pretending to have the flu so you can soak yourself in hot toddies during those dead hours between a late lunch & doing the school run.

Personally I'd just whack on the kettle and splosh some hot water onto some Whiskey. I like Highland Park, but it does stain the china as it's so peaty. Jiff lemon is good enough I find & if you want to add sugar, cloves & butter then you really belong in the Giant vibrator & not the manly, dusty world of my study.
