After a lovely evening, and offering to buy some art from my ex, (again) and look after her pets while she was away (again) so she could revisit somewhere she loves, (again) all she has given me is abuse, (again) And apparently, I am the bad guy. (again). ymmv. (again).

@darksatanicmills.bsky.social for some reason, despite following you on bluesky, I only see your replies to me in my notifications, and not your posts in my feed. I suspect conspiratorial things.

Four of these in Whitley Bay are way more effective than 14 Cerveza Dorada in Tenerife...

It's been 7 months since I gave evidence at the UKGov select committee hearing, on the policy changes at UKRI which have had a catastrophic impact on funding for UK astronomy and particle physics. When asked if we thought we were the "canary in the coal mine", we said yes..... we weren't wrong. 🧪🔭⚛️

How to avoid sexual assault! A QUICK AND EASY GUIDE*

1 DON'T PUT DRUGS IN PEOPLE'S DRINKS

4 WHEN YOU SEE A WOMAN WALKING BY HERSELF, LEAVE HER ALONE.

3 WHEN YOU COME ACROSS SOMEONE WHO IS DRUNK OR ASLEEP, THE BEST THING TO DO IS NOT RAPE THEM.

6 CARRY A WHISTLE. IF YOU THINK YOU MIGHT RAPE SOMEONE, BLOW THE WHISTLE UNTIL SOMEONE COMES TO STOP YOU.

2 USE THE BUDDY SYSTEM! IF YOU CAN'T STOP YOURSELF FROM SEXUALLY ASSAULTING SOMEONE, ASK A TRUSTED FRIEND TO ACCOMPANY YOU AT ALL TIMES TO STOP YOU.

The idea of using my kegs as a cloche hadn't occured to me prior to today, but is the idea that drinking beer ( Frontaal Juice Punch ) can indirectly help banana plants grow, bananas? Thankyou @cafeamsterdamwb.bsky.social for the empty KeyKegs!

Yet another 400ml glass of Cerveza Dorada approaching its conversion to pee.

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Is beer 13 wise? Is beer 14 wise? Enquiring minds want to know, but you'll have to wait cos I am smoking a fag (uk slang).

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Allegedly, eleven and twelve in Spanish are once and doce, so here they are. It tastes like beer and appears sufficiently hydrating, so in these climes its ok by me. - Just don't overdo it.

Cerveza Dorada Beers Ten and Eleven adding the earlier Cerveza Tropical beer this will take the total so far todat to twelve.

030

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I didn't get photos of beers nine and ten, but I am currently drinking Coca-Cola, so photos of Cerveza eleven and twelve likely to surface later.

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

I am now redder than a peak uv of six would suggest, so have retreated to a great value club with aircon that does full-fat Coca-Cola for 2€. It also has ashtrays...

Woot this Einstein with plant material and an equation on it tray. Muy bueno.

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Cerveza Tropical for today's Beer number 8. I have tbh I feel little difference in flavour provider to Dorada.

020

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 25/09/2026

Hot, but not as hot as yesterday. Continuing to hydrate with Beer / Cerveza 7.

Pondering the Met office forecast of a peak UV of 6 today over my 2nd beer. I think a beach day is in order. Obviously important to hydrate prior..

011

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

8 / n more dehydrated than I am now. 9 / n next.

An empty 400ml Cerveza Dorada glass and one with sufficient beer to match* the measure.

*honest, gov.

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 24/09/2026

Continuing the hydration theme after a couple of refreshing yet sticky Coco-Cola, another Cerveza Dorada beer seemed apt. Salut! 7 of n or something.

Breakfast eaten, time to hydrate again. Allegedly gonna be hottest day of hols so far today, so I may need extra.

Two not particularly full, fresh 400ml glasses of Cerveza Dorada beer.

010

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Hydration continues: Beer 9. Pace slowed due to too much lovely grub.

A 400ml glass of Cerveza Dorada, though not sure which of the specific beers of that name it is, probably the weakest one.

000

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Check successful. Cheers!

Slightly more than half, of my fifth 400ml glass of "beer" this am.

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

Hydration continued to be important, and a simple check will later confirm if this is successful

010

Ally @ally-wallace.bsky.social · 23/09/2026

A pleasant day forecast and It is therefore incredibly to hydrate. Cheers! Noteworthy: I believe Met Office forecasts these last few days for here have been overestimating temperature by several degrees.

The Met Office forecast for where I am shows a prak of 35°c forecast, and offscreen UV of 9.

Two beers and an ashtray with an unlit cigarette in it.

Breakfast time! Disappointingly the Kiwi Fruit were off. Everything else was pretty good. Mostly Nom. Bacon here in Tenerife similar to the hotel in Lanzarote in 2025 but not to the hotel in Lanzarote in 1992.

Bacons, Scrambled Egg, Beans, Sausage, another kind of Sausage, Tomato, Onion, Cucumber and Kiwi Fruit on a plate.

While crossing the road on the way back to the hotel around 18:30 yesterday, I think I nearly got mugged / bag-snatched. The primary potential perp was immediately behind me at that point of crossing the road when warned off by one of the group, whom had been playing ball earlier. 1/4

Currently listening to and watching a Green day music video with Spanish subtitles and the obvious thought is that using YouTube in this manner while attempting to sing along in a different subtitled language may be particularly useful for learning languages.

Some fellow metaller friends of mine say Metallica's Black Album (also known as the untitled or self-titled one) is too "commercial" and too "pop". But if you ask them what they think of this..: (jmo absolute-fucking-tune!) m.youtube.com/watch?v=tAGn...

I have advised my friends I am sharing with of a solution to this issue - which is to drink far more alcohol and that it is an ill-advised solution, however, it is a holiday. I am currently enjoying a Full-Fat Coca-Cola. :)

Currently sat outside of the hotel at a table in a smoking area shaded by an Umbrella* and I can still feel the heat of the sun on my back. * Etymology suggests Umbrellas are for sunshine, not rain.

3.5 miles walked so far today and first beer nearly finished. (Photo from earlier). Alas, according to my friends I am sharing a room with, I snore.

A 400ml glass of Beer / Cerveza, Dorada in this case.
It's ok.
