Once you get the hang of growing basil, you end up with butt loads of it. Pesto being made!

Going to see a kitchen designer tomorrow, to hopefully blow this room up and start again. We've done as much as we can to it. I have a very specific list of gripes for her to address 😂

It's a bit floody here for shopping, sorry buddy. Or i definitely would. I note you didn't ask for whisky, so maybe just have some of that

This is Molly, we had her for 12 years. Of indeterminate age when we got her, she was a sweet girl who travelled the length of the UK in a car regularly without complaint. Huge fan of ham slices, but particularly canteloupe melon, mushrooms and cucumber. Very much missed ❤️

After Screwfix did me wrong, twice, third time lucky with the switches of dreams. Although i had to use the old rank screws because the nice new ones didn't fit the back box this plate is supposedly designed for 🤨

How are all these perfect torts not being snapped up immediately? I would have an army of them, but this one beats up all other cats in the immediate area...

It's hard when you lose them,
I really get it. I don't think we were really ready for this one, but she was available and no one was taking her so and we took a chance. She's now my little shadow and soul cat. Maybe mull on it a bit.

I bet some of you don't even get excited about light switches, but lads and lasses, I think I've finally found what I've been looking for. Matt black dolly rocker that should fit our 16 mm back boxes and only £7 a pop in screwfix. That's my Sunday sorted.

Our final night in Rome, and on holiday. At Ma Che Siete Venuti A Fà, the most pub-like venue of our holiday so far, with a good vibe and pretty much 50:50 men and women. An impressive 3.9% Italian session IPA for me by MC 77 and an XPA for @kndrj.bsky.social by Corgi

Rome - started off on a bad foot, food wise. Has become much better after finding this small but perfect craft beer bar. Sadly whilst the owner looks like a young Louis Theroux, he was not impressed and declared him to be too ugly 😬

Two IGAs - beer with grapes. New to us, both by Birrificio Sorrento and where our bud Carlo is a part-time brewer. How to describe - how i imagine cider will taste and it never does.

Back with our pal Carlo at La Bottega della Birra for our final night in Sorrento. @kndrj.bsky.social has Exsecutio from BOIA Brewing Co, I have Play Louder Double IPA from Gimme More. Both Italian breweries.

Two cracking rounds of beer at our quickly adopted "local" in Sorrento. The barman clearly knows his stuff, is a part time brewer, and takes time to explain each one. Amazing place.

And just some more super well preserved remains including an ancient beware of the dog floor mosaic!

Visited Pompeii today and it was insane. Particularly liked the taverns, shops and houses. Here are some examples of 2,000 year old serving areas/ bars that put our kitchen surfaces to shame...

Next up, a DDH IPA, Ribelle, from Radiocraft brewery from the outskirts of Rome. Very tasty.

It's a classic beaut of a European setting, and it seems the beer scene is a lot more developed than I expected (not being rude but I'm always underwhelmed in Spain by the craft scene). Definitely worth a revisit!

Mammoth schlep to Sorrento today. Sleeper train delayed by over 2 hours, then connection from Naples to Sorrento was cancelled. Much later than planned, after sharing a cab with random fellow countryfolk and one Aussie, now time for some Italian craft beer, found somewhere with an impressive list!
