I'm really thinking of killing off my hopandwedge blog/persona (?), admittedly I've not kept it up but to be honest and I didn't keep it up because I felt like such an outsider and so unwelcome by others writing about similar things, really kicked my esteem. I would like to get back writing though

I think I prefer living without heating. So I came home from London with no pressure in the boiler, again. Put the heating on, mainly to turn my bathroom into a laundry room. This one in the bedroom should be off right? It's piping hot, that's wrong? #plumbing

I'll share my other finds later, but just supping a Kernel Citra, the beer that got me started on craft beer back in 2010 (!) at the Queen's Head, Kings Cross before bailing earlier than planned , I just don't have it in me to do any more

Can you say you've been to London if you've not drank beer in a railway arch?
People bang on about how expensive London is but I stick by the belief that most places have caught up. Less than £6 a pint is cheaper than I pay at breweries in Worcestershire and Gloucestershire

Bag is actually heavier now as I've swung by one of the best bakeries in London - Beaten By a Whisker, Walthamstow - found it by accident last year. Picked up this beaut of a loaf, and a cookie tie me over as I decide if I want a full Scottish or not

I think pushed it a bit too far yesterday and now my fibromyalgia is letting me know about. My bag has magically quadrupled in weight and I'm feeling very inflamed 🫠

I haven't had this beer for a long while, so much flavour for the ABV. Must not leave it so long in future!
