I was planning to cook a nice lunch for myself today seeing as I'm back home and have my kitchen.
But I'm still absolutely knackered and reckon it'll just be a bacon sandwich 🤣

Back home, washing in the machine, and first order of the day is to go to the shops to get in some milk for tea. As well as some food, should probably remember I need to eat and not just drink tea 🤣

Had so much fun working the Discovery Bar at Belfast Beer Fest, that when we closed up about 7:30, I carried on helping out in the other bars!
Such a great vibe at this festival!

George, don't do that.
Joyce Grenfell, for god's sake.
Been really put off the B Elton autobiography by a podcast in which he claims to have been the first person in Britain to do observational stand-up on TV. Dave Allen? Jasper Carrott? Alexei Sayle? Mike Harding?
I'll borrow it out of the library.

Plan for today is to wander around the centre of Belfast this morning, then head out to the beer fest setup this afternoon.
I don't even mind that it's grey and drizzly today, some cities can still look gorgeous in the rain, and I'm hoping Belfast is one of them.

I must confirm that I was not, in fact, kung-fu fighting, and I realise I've let the side down.
I must confirm that due to age related joint pain I will not in fact be able to get up offa that thing.

Over the weekend there was a horrendous stabbing incident on the trains near where I live. The suspect boarded the train at the station I'm currently sat at waiting for a train myself.
The local press ran the inevitable "As we have it" stories full of rumour and second hand tales, and the comments..

Right, long day travelling tomorrow so I'm off to bed early.
I was looking to see if there was any craft places in Belfast likely to be open in the evening when I get there, but it seems that Monday is Closeday there too :~/

I'm pretty much packed ready to go to Belfast tomorrow.
Good job I've got an extra large cabin bag booked, because there's 13kg of cellar/dispense kit that I'm needing to take over with me :~/
