According to the guidelines given to coeliacs, all alcohol is gluten-free except beer. (Even spirits made from grain, because the distillation process gets rid of the gluten.) I might still be cautious of types of alcohol obscure enough that I thought the authors of those guidelines might plausibly not have considered them – I wouldn't drink anything labelled "barley wine", for instance – but cider is no problem at all. Thanks for the recommendation :-)

(While I'm here, did you ever reply to the email I sent you on the 16th? I had an embarrassing mail deletion incident just now, so I'm suddenly more paranoid that people might have tried to send me email and I lost it.)

(No, I'm just being useless. I'd love to see you, life, while calming down is still a bit crazy. I know that this week I'm not 'visiting' because it's only a three day week, I think that next week I have vague plans already. The week after that feels like a very long way away, but is distinctly possible. What days would suit you?)

Ooh, cool! :-) I'm generally free on Tuesdays and Wednesdays.

<mild poke>? *hugs*
