Thatcher is if nothing else an interesting historical figure; but a good line is a good line.
Yeah, she's probably the 3rd most famous British PM, after Churchill and whoever the current one is whenever this is measured. Probably about equal with Earl gray, but most people only think of him as a tea.
The three that I figure most people can name right off are Churchill, Chamberlain and Thatcher. If you watch Black Adder, you'd probably pick up Pitt the Elder.
This gin is the product of my favorite Formula 1 driver (Valtteri Bottas) and his girlfriend (Tiffany Cromwell.) A friend of ours visited Finland recently, and before he left, I asked him to try and find this for me. My expectations were low, but yesterday, he invited us out for drinks only to slide this bottle across the table to me. I can't believe it. I won't be opening it. As much as I want to taste it, this is a keepsake. Another friend is slated to go to Finland (what are the odds?) in October. If he can get me another bottle, I'll drink that one, but this one? This one is my keeper. @McElroy, I am absolutely stupid happy right now.

OK, I just needed a feel-good moment and found it.
OTOH, stressing that this woman's kindness was incredible is a bit of a worry.
Her letting him use her cane to get inside was a super-nice touch. She's a class act.
So, walking the dog today I saw something and thought to myself "heh, that small branch on the ground over there kinda looks like an echidna."
Then I thought "wow, when the wind blows through the leaves it really looks like an echidna."
Then I got a bit closer.
...
Turns out the reason it looked like an echidna is because it was.

I've seen some echidnas (is that the plural?) in my old neighbourhood, but never was able to get a photo. I did talk to them, so I can say I've had a conversation (of sorts) with an animal weirder than most imaginary cryptids while walking home.
