left me empty, with a case
of the weekend blues.

No. They aren’t mine and I had nary a sip from any of these bottles. Promise.
Sure, sure, you lush. Blue glass is so pretty.
I agree with Nessa – blue glass is so pretty. I collected old blue glass for awhile – Milk of Magnesia and Vick Sauve bottles.
I’m thinking a couple of yours here for flowers would be cool in the sunlight!
I used to have a bunch of old blue glass too… it is pretty! So where were you hangin’ and NOT drinking any of this? I’ve even found WATER in pretty blue bottles these days!
I have two beautiful blue bottles. Drank all of them. Pure water
Love these blues.
Are you going to have a “Blue Christmas”
I’ve heard of a Blue Hawaiian but that is ridiculous!
I love blue bottles!! I have one where I keep my home made garlic oil in.
i have no idea what you’re talking about here
(actually, this is a very good senryu and it made me laugh out loud – not recommended when you’re at work but it was break time so pft)
Those look like Maalox bottles. Didn’t know you were that sick. But they are blue indeed.
Wish I could think of a funny line, but they all seem to be taken… I think the brit expression ‘having a lot of bottle’ might be slightly lost on a transatlantic audience….
That is a fine collection of pretty blue bottles.
Hsve you been tested for Bluebottleneck Plague?
I like it – I really do!
Wow, those are gorgeous bottles! Here, things come in clear glass (called flint – I used to work in a glass factory), and some come in amber bottles (brown glass), even the very odd green bottle will be seen… but never blue bottles!! Some people buy/collect dishes and ornaments in that beautiful blue glass, but even those aren’t seen a lot here.
The bottles are a lovely blue….my favorite color. Now I’m wondering where Alice lives that they don’t have blue glass.
I Used to have a bunch of bottles like that. Very calming.
yes. this is what my table looked like last night. i wish you’d have mentioned you were there.
Nessa — blue glass is pretty. That’s why I snuck into the art department work area and pictured it!
Carletta — somehow the names Milk of Magnesia and Vicks remove a bit of the romantic luster from the notion.
Melli — OC’s office is next to the art department and the alley between the two buildings is an unofficial work area and a treasure trove of stuff to picture!
Mar — I may have to buy some blue water.
Jill well, it likely won’t be white!
Cath — I think there was a whole party of Blue Hawaiians after that bash!
Jientje — it seems we all love blue bottles!
Juliana — I am happy to know I brightened your work day with a bit of laughter.
Dr. John — I am well.
Alastair — I think I got the jist.
Betty — thanks.
Shelly — do you think it is contagious?
Andrew — the bottle contents, or the photo?
Alice — no blue bottles in Canada? Why not?
Amber — B.C.
Ian — hello. Welcome. Funny, these bottle excited me. When I saw them I just had to get my camera.
Holly — I bet yours was the table we were all trying to ignore. Raucous!
haha- great pun (and I like the photo)
