Book Club, or Wine Club?

Why Not Both?

By Sandy GillmanPublished about a year ago 1 min read
A glass of white at one of my favourite pubs in Perth. The perfect way to ‘attend’ book club last night

I didn’t finish the book today,

but I went along anyway.

I put on those jeans,

they were a little snug.

I gave my boy a great big hug.

Toss mum guilt aside,

walk out the door.

This time’s for me,

I don’t need it anymore.

A nice pub meal

and a glass of white

will be an absolute delight.

Add some adult conversation,

and it almost feels like I’m on vacation.

One sip.

Two sips.

Three gulps,

more.

Feeling my stress

melt to the floor.

Books are always kick ass,

when you’ve got wine in your glass.
