World Cider Day

Those are not the apples I bought.

They're not our apples.

I know they're not our apples because I bought six apples from the shop on Tuesday and these are approximately four thousand apples in various states of being enthusiastically processed in what I can only describe as an unsanctioned fermentation operation.

Where did you.... Did... Don't tell me you stole them from next door?

Actually... Don't.

Don't tell me.

I don't want to know whose orchard that was. 

I want plausible deniability.

What I do want to know is why it smells like that, what's in that barrel, and whether the neighbours have noticed yet.  *Checks the mail for the Repercussion Paperwork that will inevitable be on its way if it didn't arrive already.*

For those in the cheap seats:

Earl is UNREPENTANT as F***.

But... Use a glass, eh?  

Drinking out of the bottle is...

*takes a reluctant sip* 

It's ... actually quite good.

I'm not saying that. I didn't say that. 

We are not keeping the barrel.

and also I have already sold seventeen cases."

Happy World Cider Day. 

The recipe — such as it is — is probably a crime in several counties.
