The week is long. The weekend is short. So how better to say 'ha!' to one and 'hello, darling' to the other, than with a glass of champagne? None. That's how. So Fizzy Fridays were established, and it's a great invention.
I wish I could claim credit for it, but I can't. I stole it from Nigel Slater. I think he was writing about KitKats at the time, but he mentioned routinely opening a bottle of champagne at the end of the working week and a huge alcoholic lightbulb went on over my head.
It doesn't have to be champagne (although it is worth going for the real deal. You don't have to drink it all ((note to self)) and then you can have another glass with Saturday's lunch) but it does have to be fizzy. Have whatever you like. Herself likes Prosecco, which is lovely, but I like the hard-core dryness that only comes from real Champagne, and I like feeling that I'm worth it.
So this Friday sling your satchel in the corner, turn up the stereo and pour yourself a glass of champagne. You'll soon see - it's not called bubbly for nothing.

you are so right. i am a perpetual 'special offer' fiend (see earlier posts) but real shampoo is just so nice (unless actually in italy when prosecco is the dogs knob). what a great idea. if only i saw you every friday to implement it 'in style'. always here in spirit though.
