I've created Breweries Started Pack for anyone interested in such things. It also includes my "The Brewery Social" feed for all posts relating to breweries. If you know of other breweries hiding on the outskirts on Bluesky please let me know and I will update the pack regularly.

Steve Rothery and I are working towards the finishing post now with our album recording, alongside Riccardo Romano who’s engineering and on keys… It already sounds amazing!

Watched the film "Yesterday" yesterday on Netflix and it is the first film in a long while that has made me laugh. It is a very well made "British" comedy. Danny Boyle directs and the writer is Richard Curtis so the pedigree is good 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐

Todays fun task, installing Ubuntu on an old laptop that is not capable of running Windows 11 and currently performs like a sloth on morphine. After a couple of hours I now have a fully functioning Linux laptop which boots in seconds and is running a multitude of different apps quite happily 👍

Started a new writing project today, a semi-autobiographical tale of a mans journey from Uni to work in the 80's, through to retirement in the IT industry. Showing the changes that take place in the industry as he navigates the different roles he undertakes and the characters he meet on the way.
