Macro Mondays: Refreshment
Beer in a lavender-colored glass with embedded bubbles. The beer bubbles are only visible as slight trails in the reflection of the glass at the bottom of the frame. Backlit from a shaded window.
Cheers, MM!

After gorging on the ground for a few minutes, this male decided to take a water break. Shot through my window "blind."
Candid ginger and a glass of tea. I'll just add that this is about the last thing I'd have if I wanted refreshments. But, it was all we had to hand and I thought that it was a bit different.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites.:O)

Chocolate and Almond, Vanilla Ice Cream ...
We've been experiencing a heatwave here in the UK for well over a week or more, so an ice cream is proving to be an appropriate refreshment at the moment.
I find nothing more refreshing than a light salad on a hot humid day. I chose this as I was making a light evening meal out of ingredients that I'd bought on holiday consisting of fresh tomatoes, sea salt, fresh mint, cucumber , olive oil , balsamic vinegar- the latter three of which I added later.
Norwich Cathedral has the largest monastic cloister in England. It was constructed as a covered walkway enclosing an open quadrangle, or garth, and connected the Cathedral with the various monastic buildings. To the north the cloister is bounded by the Cathedral nave, into which there are two doors, one from each of the cloister's northern corners. To the east was the Chapter House, long since demolished, the entrance to which now leads out into the Cathedral Close. A doorway, now bricked up, led to the stairs to the monks' dormitory above. On the south side were the refectory and the infirmary. Nothing remains of the latter, but a stunning new Refectory, opened in 2004 and combining medieval and modern architecture, now stands on the site of the former. Open seven days a week it serves refreshments and light lunches, and is well worth a visit. From the west walk a door led into the priory's guest hall, or hostry, and now leads into the new Hostry building, partly funded by the Heritage Lottery Fund and completed in 2009.
The original Norman cloister was mostly destroyed during the riot of 1272, which was the culmination of a period of unrest over what the townspeople perceived as the unfair granting of landholding rights to the priory. Some of the land involved fell outside the Cathedral precincts, yet citizens living within these areas were expected to pay taxes and tithes to the priory. By the summer of 1272 things had come to a head and a state of siege existed. Efforts to reach a peaceful settlement failed when the Prior brought in armed mercenaries from Yarmouth who arrived by boat directly into the Cathedral precincts. They subsequently sallied forth into Norwich at night, burning and looting as they went. Several citizens were wounded and one was killed. The next day the city authorities called for a muster of men, and a raid on the priory ensued, and it is said that flaming arrows were fired from the nearby tower of the church of St George Tombland. One of the Cathedral gates was burned down to gain access, and several buildings within the precinct, including the church of St Ethelbert and the priory's bell tower, were ransacked and burned. Most of the monastic buildings, including the cloister, were destroyed and the fire spread to the Cathedral itself.
Evidence of this can still be seen inside the
Cathedral in places where the stonework has
taken on a pinkish discolouration caused by the
extreme heat.
Well here we are 2020 is marching on even as we speak, the evenings are pulling out and the festivities are all but a memory.๐
Funny I should mention the festivities as the village Christmas tree and decorations are taken down each year by a jovial bunch of volunteers. Some of the volunteers are the most highly qualified drinkers the village has ever assembled for this task.
Leading this operation is our own Hoof who is the one blessed with brains in these type of demanding situations. ๐๐ก๐ก๐ก
Horace is more of a hands on type of person driving the telehandler and wielding a chainsaw in that order. Before you ask, yes he wears all the necessary protective clothing especially the cut resistant trousers which have the ability to instantly stall a chainsaw running at full power should it slip, after all Horace needs to look after his wedding tackle.๐โ๏ธ (Check these trousers out on You Tube)
Hoof always contacts the local electricity board and gets permission to disconnect the lights from the tree, they normally ask โat watt time are you going to do itโ Hoof responds we donโt want any resistance to this request or there may be a revolt by the lights committee.๐ก๐ก๐กโก๏ธโก๏ธโก๏ธ๐๐๐
Once the lights and tree are down, we take a break for elevenses and the ladies of the WI very kindly provide trays of food led by their chairperson Bertha Thomas, and before you ask she does not have a brother called (no I am not going to say that name, stop it)โ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธโ๏ธ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ๐ฐ
Following these very welcome refreshments, there is a scurry of activity and the village is cleared of its Christmas decorations for another year.
Now as you all know 2019 was the year of the pig according to the Chinese zodiac, so it was felt that this achievement by Horace should be celebrated, yes a debrief of his years activities needed to be carried out in the pub.๐ท ๐ฏ๐จ
As is the norm in our local pub following such an achievement much beer is thrown around the place. Also the world record for drinking the yard of ale is often broken during the celebrations. A few sea chanties are sung and everyone behaves in a very sensible manner.๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐บ๐ค๐ค๐ธ๐ท๐บ๐
Having been such a busy day Horace decided to sit down with some of his chums at a table in the pub and hold court.
Then a customer looks over and walks towards Horace and asks โdoes your dog biteโ Horace responded my dog has never bitten anyone, so the man put his hand down to stroke the dog and it bit right into his hand.
โHere said the man, you told me your dog doesnโt biteโ Horace said โthatโs not my dogโ.๐ถ๐
Thank you all so much for viewing my images, the comments are so appreciated, enjoy your weekend๐บ๐บ๐บ๐ท๐ท๐ท๐๐๐ท๐๐๐
