Old bottles

I keep these old bottles and have no intention of using their contents.  Anyway the luminous compound is probably radioactive! They remind me of a bygone era and are the clockmaker's equivalent of the bottles in an old apothecary's shop.
I had coffee with friends in town this morning.  The Wetherspoons coffee has been very good but today the expresso was bitter.  They must have changed their beans.  This afternoon will be devoted to the rugby.
