Really glad I'm doing a quiz tonight because I have developed a very moist cold and its nice to share these things in a micropub environment. I might just stand outside and shout in through the window.

Making bread at the swap shop today. Didn't win on the pumpkin tombola, but I got a cat dress, with pockets, for free! Chalk today up as a win.

PSA for beer historians. It's very easy to accidentally type S&M instead of S&N and it will not necessarily be flagged by your word processor. This can lead to a very different historical perspective than the one you were intending to present. Be safe out there, heritage junkies.

Happy Mini Free Money Day! Every year I get £18 in the September ALCS distribution. I don't know why. But I appreciate that £18.

Another 21° evening out there. Felt like I was promenading through a Continental old town on my walk this evening. With added molehills.

It's a nice big moon tonight and a pretty sky, but my phone cannot photograph the big moon nicely.

This is where the Boy started off. Can you guess how many inches I sawed off his hair in aid of @parkinsons.org.uk? If you like, you can send £1 for every inch to the charity via our JustGiving link at www.justgiving.com/page/hairy-m... The hair itself will be donated to The Little Princess Trust.

We took veteran British amateur boxer Ray Gilbody to his first ice hockey game tonight. So that's a thing. Just one of Grandad's best mates, innit.

The Boy and a bunch of relatives, plus friend Ray is on the furthest right side.

Been thinking about this Monkland cheese since we got it home from Ludlow. Finally caved and enjoyed some on a couple of crackers. Now to leave the kitchen and not trough the whole lot.

More anti-AI breweries, pubs and cidermakers have been added to my directory. And before anyone comments, if you don't care that a business uses AI, then don't bother reading the list. Easy.

Guess that's the end of summer walks by the brook after bedtime. Twilight quickly turned to night and it was creepy. Guess I'll not be doing that until April then now.

I have three days straight at home, just getting on with stuff. I'm so excited. The last two weeks have been an absolute whirlwind. Looking forward to getting back on an even keel a bit. Then road trip to Kent in a day on Thursday, because, why not?

We've had a lovely weekend, but after a very late night last night, the tears are in full force here. Won't just be Bammers soon, we're all partied out.

Ordering a pint of cask in a pub if you are allergic to a specific type of gluten can be a minefield. As beer writer Laura Hadland @morrighani.bsky.social discusses, proper allergen labelling is a way of making beer more accessible, instantly. 🔗 Link in comments.👇
