When I opened the fridge door and saw this; I was shocked.
Not in the long and distinguished history of the Magnon family has anyone ever left a bottle of Champagne half consumed.
Worse even, is the fact that a special stopper had been purchased, and employed, in order to attempt to save its freshness.
I did ask if anyone knew who had committed this appalling act, but no-one was prepared to own-up. I almost considered calling in The Champagne Police to have fingerprints taken, so that the culprit could be caught and punished (Guillotined?).
Our guests have now gone, and it's all very quiet. However, we are expecting more early next month (or even before).
Most disasters have been avoided. The bathroom hand-basin 'plug hole' suddenly started leaking, but we were able to find a replacement, and all was fixed. My self-inflicted food poisoning has almost gone. And a slight problem back in Brighton meant that Suzie had to suddenly fly back ONE DAY early.
Having family here is always fun. We're now looking forward to seeing Wills and Boo Boo; two more of our favourite people.
They'll be enjoying the sights of Switzerland for another week before coming to see the 'old folks'.
I agree, it's an outrage; though does show, possibly, good judgement. Better polish that bottle off asap; although those stoppers are good (I have got one) the fizz will fizzle out - eventually. May I recommend a Mimosa (champagne and, preferably freshly pressed, orange juice) for breakfast or brunch.
