I've got nice cold Fentimans rose lemonade for my gin, which is nice.
But, do I go with convention and add ice which removes a little of the sparkle and dilutes it as you drink it, but chills it even more and adds a lovely clink as you play with your drink.
Or forego the ice, which doesn't suffer those problems, but you get no clink and it just looks a bit wrong  |

My first world problem is I'm sorting out my makeup drawer and can't decide if it's better to classify liquid highlighters with foundations or with blushers  |

Stick the glasses in the freezer and ice them instead - or fashion an ice sheath from a pint glass, a thinner tumbler inside and elastic bands to hold the whole contraption together (plus a straw to drink it from). The latter would be a right pain in the arse so my advice would be to suck it up, buttercup and live with the dilution. |

Specialist section. I'd file them with concealers, green underfoundation and the like. I need a makeup drawer to organise rather than various pencil cases and toiletry bags. |

Put them in between and let them decide whether they feel more in one side or the other.
That's what I did with my garlic salt when I couldn't decide if it was a herb or a spice...

I don't have enough sections, dammit. Need more selective drawer dividers. |

Mine are just plastic ones from Lakeland but I've just seen some pretty granite whiskey stones that I might get  |

It says you have to wash the granite ones though, although the reviews indicate they work better than the lakeland plastic ones. I don't even know what soapstone is.
This is a hard choice. |

I don't know what soapstone is either but it looks like it would go better in my drinks than the granite ones. Hmmm. |

Don't buy soapstone ones - they're a load of schist!

And for the non geologists, is that a legitimate warning or just an inside joke? |

Soapstone is a type of schist, which is itself a metamorphic rock, but schist sounds a little like...
It's the way I tell 'em...

...that makes them particularly unamusing  |

I'm glad you recognise that. This is a serious first world problem and no laughing matter. |

These freezer things, just say you have half a dozen drinks over an e evening, how many drinks would they cool? Would I be filling my freezer with rocks?
And the gin is Blackwood |

My solution for the gin tonight was to go without ice and see what I preferred.
I like the look and sound of the ice in the glass. So ice in this one |

"And Ruby, I think the solution is to buy more makeup so that you need a special category for this stuff rather than an either/or. "
The solution is NOT more makeup, there's a shameful amount of it already |

I've got a spare multi one from Ikea you can have, it doesn't fit in my 1940s rounded drawers. |
