Finished watching ‘Below’ this evening. What started out as a decent mystery drama, it turned into a really poor B-Movie style by the end. CGI, acting, story all fell off a cliff badly. #Below

Not a bad way to spend a Friday afternoon off work. 🍻

Fantastic day out at Torrside. Great beers, nice food, and came home with some bottles to stash away for Christmas too. #Beer 🍻

It’s been a busy week but thankfully the weekend is finally here! Starting it with the ‘House IPA’ by Dugges in my new glass from The Craft Diaries. What a beer to find on a supermarket shelf. #Beer 🍻

Finished watching ‘The Shards’ last night. Loved it. Such a classy and well told series, full of weird and complex characters. It hooked me in so quickly. Fingers crossed for a series 2. #TheShards

Went canoeing across the Pontcysyllte Aqueduct today. Weather was prefect for it in the end. Deserve a beer or two after all that rowing.

When in Wales for the weekend, got to start with a beer from a Welsh brewery.

This Azvex Brewery stout is like melted nutty chocolate in a glass. It’s so thick and sweet. It’s lethal! #Beer

Haven’t been to Azvex Taproom for ages, so thought I would correct that today whilst in Liverpool.

A beer from a Liverpool brewery to enjoy whilst watching the Liverpool match. Come on LFC, a confident win tonight please!

Started playing Two Point Museum over the weekend. Hooked me straight in, love these kind of games. Been a fan since the original Theme Hospital days.

Of this “depth”, Bradley and Gomez are always injured. Ekitike out until the new year. Leoni coming back from a bad injury. Chiesa never fit and ready. 5 of these players you could pretty much wrote off for 75% of these season. Leaves 20 players for the whole season. #LFC

My wife’s birthday today. It’s been a busy one for me and my bank account. Presents. Breakfast. Flowers. Drinks. Snacks. The day isn’t even over yet….

Next up, Track brewery. Which glass is the IPA, which is a DIPA, and which is the orange juice?

Come into Manchester to do a bit of shopping. Shopping now done, so beer (and building Lego for my son) time starts. 🍻

Been kicked out the front room as my son and his mate are watching YouTube. So sitting in the back playing on my Switch instead with a beer. Not a bad trade off at all.

Sat outside the pub by myself, sun is shining, earbuds in listening to music, catching up on the football news. Can’t beat it as a way to relax and unwind.

Finished week 1 of my new job today, with everything going well so far. So marked the occasion with a beer or two, some food with the family, and treated myself to a few cans too. Not a bad week at all.

Noticed the Blade Runner game is on sale at the online Nintendo store. I remember playing this game when I was about 12 when it first came out and loved it. For that price I think I need to replay it for old times sake.

Can tell the holiday is over. Home 5 minutes and in Tesco already…

Last day of the holiday. Had a lazy pool day and following it up with some cocktails this evening. Back to normality soon…. 😫

Nice walk around the town today, but jeez it is hot hot hot! Beer was the only solution.

Sky Mobile has become appealing after I have just had to pay £16 for 7 days of data usage in Spain with @vodafonegroup.bsky.social! Sure it was only £8 a year or so ago…. Contract up very soon so might be time for a change of network as £16 is horrendous pricing.

Hot heat hits so much better abroad. This weather at home is horrible, but abroad, by a pool, with a beer, it’s perfect.

Booked a holiday a few days ago and flew out today. The boy is already loving it here, so worth every penny. Cheers to lots of rum, sun, and family time this week.

What are Mercedes doing at the moment with their designs. This is such a bland and ugly car. Mercedes used to make some fantastic looking cars but really lost their way interior and exterior a few years back.

Gomorrah is one of my favourite TV series. The story, the style, the music, cinematography. It’s fantastic. I have just learnt there is a new prequel series out. I am finally getting a new fix of Gomorrah.

Bought the new Lego Batman game yesterday to play co op with my young son. We are both absolutely loving it, great game for us to play together. My favourite Lego game by far.

Just cracked this open by Tartarus Brewery. Had this in the garage for a while I think. Not as spicy as I thought it would be. There’s definitely a kick to it, which I like, but more subtly balanced. Spice blends really well with the booze. What a great beer, loving it. #Beer

This will be like that pub crawl in ‘The World’s End’ where they go into different pubs and they are exactly the same inside.

Sunny Sunday so washing the car is a must. This stuff is great at getting a really quick shine to the car after a wash. Smells nice too. Made the car shine very nicely. ✨

Had a walk around the St Helen’s Market again today. Nice to see the town centre so busy. Then did the complete sensible thing and popped into the fantastic Little George Quarter for a pint or two. #Beer 🍺

Spotted this in the local Co Op earlier today. Nice to see Farmyard Brewery beers getting out there in more stores. #Beer 🍻
