Frustration

you got it! This is perfect!
It seems almost everyone needs medication this week...
now where is that fella that used to dish it out to us?

Thank you Wendi, this was a hit and miss adventure with shots. Hopefully, we won't have to do this again. :)

Splendid shot and glad you are back in touch. Now the cork is out, it would be a shame not to try it. :::)

Actually the bottle was not open for the shot but the cork was from the one we had earlier. As for putting the cork back in the bottle ... we don't often have to try to put it back in. lol

It's good to have phone and internet again ... it was total frustration and this week's challenge didn't help my mood any. lol

getting the cork back in is always difficult... now I can see why :-)

in fairness, there's normally no need when I've got the bottle!

lol Jon once we open a bottle it doesn't last long.

Looks like you got it to me! :-) It did take me a minute to recognize the cork, but then I don't see very many boxes with corks in them! :-) I had to pass on the challenge this week due to time constraints with what I wanted to attempt.

Thanks Norm. How is that wine in a box? Charlie wasn't able to post for the same reason ... so hectic around here.

I was guessing that was the case with Charlie! Looks like you'll have to start hanging out at McDonald's until things are fixed! :-) Back when I was still enjoying a glass a of wine now and then ... I found the box wines convenient, but typically my local favorites only came in bottles.

We're back on line and it looks to be holding .... :) The one thing we have a hard time getting used to is the plastic corks Norm. Keeping this house in "show" condition and getting things in line for a move into town, has us going every which way at the moment.

Oh ... I can understand that ... I did that for a little over two years getting my Aunt's house sold and I still haven't got things caught up at my house! I was going to put it on the market as soon as we sold the other, but I'm bushed and I'm going to take a break from it for a while. I don't worry about boxes or corks anymore! :-)

:) I'd like one of them big bottles of red that cork came out of, nicely done

Stoker we got hooked on big Spanish reds while visiting family in Spain and then the Italian reds while in Florence. We both like hearty reds here in the states but they don't compare to the ones we had over the pond. :) Thanks for the nice comment.

Oh well done Chris!! Great shot !

Thanks Paul. It was this one or none at all. Talk about a rush job. :)

Took me a while to recognise the cork :-) Well done, Chris. Shame about your Internet, etc. Good result in the end, though.

Thanks so much Gillian ... that cork was a bugger to get a shot of! We seem to have service at the moment. Hope it lasts. :)

Very well done with this in the middle of moving. I like Italian wines too and the ones we like only come in bottles.

Thanks so much Harriett ... Italian wines are so good ... we only have bottles as well.

This is great considering what you've been through! Hope the dust settles for you soon!

Thanks Val ... it's crazy around here but it will be worth it. Just not enough time to keep up with ipernity at this point. :(

Better late than never. The cork appears humongous! Well done!

thanks Ester, I really didn't think I would be able to post.

What a nice entry Christine. I hope things settle down for you two very soon!!

Thanks Karen, I'm afraid it going to be busy the next few month what with selling and getting ready to move. Urk it hurts my head to think about it. lol

Neat shot Chris ... sounds like you could both do with a good drink with all that's been happening lately! ;)

Indeed Paul, we have been enjoying a good drink from time to time during all this confusion with the house and the condo. lol

Wonderful photo.

thank you Don.

At least you had a photo to present ! Even if you have had many problems around ! I agree, a veeeery difficult challenge, very technical, this one will stay in our memories, for sure !!!!
Happy to see you back !!!

I may be missing in action from time to time but will give it a good try to keep up with the challenges and comments. Thanks Isa.

Against all the odds you did it ... well done. I know when the internet goes down or I misplace my phone I go into a state of trance and panic and feel sick. Ridiculous really as it's not that long ago we didn't have any of these things.
Well done to you.

I know what you mean, it just makes me really cranky when the services go down! Thanks for the nice comment Adrian. :)

Congrats on Explore Chris!

Thanks Norm, I didn't think I'd be in the running for Explore what with the late posting and such!

Explore is kind of a funny thing ... you might get 40 comments in an hour and only be there for a few hours, or you might get one comment and be there for days! :-)

It sure is funny ... Just taking a break to try and do some comments so I'm not totally out of the loop with the group!

glad you got your shot and sorry to be late with the comment! Hope your week has settled down a bit!
