Creaking, grumpy old gamer. Crafted beer snob. Beard wearer.
Looks happy to be back in out of the rain.

Had to try it. Herbal and floral. Quite a bitter finish.

Definitely get the dill.

Perfectly drinkable.

Some recentish book deliveries. Kept forgetting to post about them.

Thoroughly looking forward to both.

They did have flavoured ones I can remember. Salt N Vinegar, Prawn Cocktail and Cheese and Onion I'm sure.

Supposed to be off this week but seems to have spent a lot of time at work.

It's dead to me till Monday now. Time to relax.

We were out last night specifically for the Beamish. Never had the pleasure before. It's recently returned to the UK

The plan was a Beamish, a Murphy's and a Guinness to compare and contrast. But the plan didn't survive. We didn't even make it to the Murphy's stage of the plan

Next time

Afternoon Womble. We've been trading 2 different maladies between the household members the last couple of weeks hope to have seen the back of it.

Started The Real-Town Murders by Adam Roberts last night and just getting into the swing of it.

Morning Womble.

I'm on what could be my last pre Halloween read with Bury Your Gays by Chuck Tingle.

Off to a decent start with it.

Beak, Track and Verdant collab? Let's get involved.

Another long week. Finishing the last couple of the Lidl Festbiers soothed my soul but on to the serious business now.

Cheers

Morning Womble. Rain lashing down here. Looks like I'll be inside for most of it with a book keeping an eye out for breaks to get the dogs out

Finished Once Was Willem by M. R Carey last night. Really enjoyed it

Sticking with dark books for the season. Just beginning Brother by Ania Ahlborn

Took the little chap out to a local windfarm for a cycle. It's incredibly foggy and slightly haunted. You can hear the turbines creaking before they loom out of the mist.

I'm about done with The Child Thief by Brom. Picked my next read up from the library. I buy a lot of books but still make a point of visiting the library regularly. Use it or lose it.

This will be the first time I've read anything from M. R. Carey. Heard good things and looking forward to it.

Need to have another beer to wash the taste of the first one out my mouth.

Wasn't terrible just not my thing and a pint was too much.

This is a Conwy Chestnut Brown. Know a chap who holidays in that part of the world regularly and loves Conwy. This is very decent.

At Wetherspoons. Not a fan but the beer festival listed Alesmith IPA. It's on cask which is not right.

Anyway, got an Effingut Golden Ale. Effingut are Indian and this is infused with cardamom, coriander and lemongrass. Hate that kind of thing but have to try an Indian craft brewery.

Morning Womble. Trying to get into the spirit of the spooky season with The Child Thief by Brom.

Only just started it.

Finished The Butcher of the Forest by Premee Mohamed yesterday which was excellent.

Cream, fruity and a bit of pithy bitterness at the end.

Good stuff.

Looks like this is the way I started last weekend as well.

A much windier weekend though.

Morning Womble. Lovely, bright day here. Hope you find yourself in good form.
