First Halloween movie of the night. The Orphanage, which I haven't seen since I saw it in the cinema and it left me seriously fucking traumatised. The missus is going to love me for this.

Started the day seeing and listening to my favourite two authors of the last decade chatting away with the fantastic Mick Herron and @nickharkaway.com in fine form. Stories of Obi Kenobi quotes creeping into Smiley books and how to gaffa tape your socks a la Jackson Lamb #bloodyscotland

Raining Blood by Hoppy People. Sludgy TIPA, with a helluva lingering pine bitterness. Soundtrack was obviously on the nose for this #bsktbeer

Final beer of the night. Hop Butcher's super smooth 10.5% TIPA A Deeper Dish. Hazy and Juicy, barely taste the booze. Currently watching Predator and I'm scared Poncho #bskybeer #hopbutcher

Alien Megachurch by @tiredhandsbrewing.bsky.social Ridiculously deranged dry hopped monster IPA somewhere north of 9%. As with the other tremendous beers in this series, excellent artwork. But, ooft. The bitterness. Uncompromising and massive. #bskybeer #tiredhands

Abbaye de Saint Bon-Chien Biere de Garde 2017. Holy moly! This is one of the best beers I've ever had. Served alongside some Stilchelton, Isle of Mull cheddar and home smoked goats cheese. I may need a lie down after this. Soundtracked by Birds In Row #bskybeer

Read The Fifth Season by @nkjemisin.bsky.social earlier this year and was absolutely blown away. I've done well to keep this for the summer and am now on edge for the third part. Staggeringly well written no matter what genre you want to call this. #theobeliskgate #nkjemisin #booksky
