Elf’s Drinky Links (III)

by elfinamsterdam on March 22nd, 2009

So, better late than never, here are this weeks Drinky Links!

The only choice for this weeks cocktail is:

The Grand Slam

1.5 cl gin
1.5 cl brandy
Shake in iced cocktail shaker & strain
Serve in a cocktail glass

So in case you live under a rock the Irish Rugby team won the Grand Slam, and as ever the wonderful Patrick Phelan had his twouds up for the pre, during and post match tweets. My favorite is this one

78 mins: DROP-GOAL Wales 15-17 Ireland

Some great charity things you should support:

@Debbiemet‘s good friend in Brooklyn wants your signature to save a feral cat colony – Do It!

Friday was Daffodil Day, if you missed out, or you want to dedicate a Daffodil to someone, Plant a Daff

Two friends of mine Una & Kelly are doing a 70km from Dublin to Arklow on May 16th to raise money for Women’s Aid

On my now openly favorite topic, I’m not the only one that’s broody and if you’ve been bitten by the bug the Guardian has some advice for reducing the expense of these lovely little bundles of sleepless nights, and one very strange and freakily interesting story of the shared pregnancy experience of twin sisters

iPhone 3.0 release is another thing you *might* have heard about this week, the ever sleek and well groomed Allan Costello has been busily Tethering his nest :)

On the topic of nests and homes you may have noticed my new home, someone else who has a new home is Stephen Spillane *waves* Howdy Neighbour

Cool finds of the week: Polar Clock, (see below)

Drool Worthy Stairs and the Mixilator

Gay this Week for the homos and the LGBTQ SOFA’s in the audience – Ellen on Oprah and Oprah on Ellen and from Panti’s Blog Portia DeRossi apologises for marrying Ellen.

Finally today marks my first anniversary in Amsterdam (more on that later) and this week marks another cool anniversary, the very talented Maeve Clancy’s webcomic Flatmates

Back to work in the morning….. :(

  1. Sleek and well groomed you say? I must meet this (I’m assuming GORGEOUS) devil ;)

      Indeed, I’m thinking people just *swoon* at his feet…. :P

  2. Thanks for the twoud post! :)

    What a weekend for Irish sport!! Great to have twitter to share it with the masses too!

      Was amazing!
      And the twouds are great such a snapshot of emotions!! :)

      Thanks Conortje.

      I haven’t as of yet, but I might tonight.
      It was strange falling asleep last night thinking a year ago I lay in this bed and had *no* idea what living here would be like.

      Ps, do you know that there is a conortje on twitter… living in Amsterdam I believe… you have a Dutch twin! :)

  4. I thought I left a comment yesterday after the sleek and well groomed GORGEOUS devil called Alan Costello.

    Perhaps I was drunk on the Grand Slams!

    Enjoy your new home and Year two.

    • LOL, well now GM, I’m sure you are a lady that knows your limits.
      Perhaps it was the thought of gorgeous Alan that made you forget to hit send?

      Thanks for the wishes! :)
