Right now, Drambuie
Having travelled (we left on this trip when this was just an overseas problem, and while we were onboard, all Hades broke loose) I'm in one of the self-imposed quarantines with my lady love. It could be a lot worse than that, let me tell you!
On our return, a friendly neighbour with whom I share a sweet love of the nectar of the gods, asked over the computer, "So welcome home; what are you out of?" I laughingly replied that we were actually not in bad shape, but my bottle of Drambuie was empty. We both chuckled over that, and a while later he said that he was going to the grocery store, and asked what he could pick up for us. I gave him a short list of groceries - mostly vegetables and my thanks to go with it.
A while later, my doorbell rang. There was nobody there, but a grocery bag on the porch, so I knew it was from Rob. When I brought it indoors, it included a wee bottle of my favourite liqueur as well as the groceries I'd listed.
Right now, I'm enjoying that both because I love it, and because I'm very fond of my kind and thoughtful neighbour who made an extra trip to give me a smile.
