Some of the finds from my recent Mushroom walk, the CEP / Porcini / Penny Bun was delicious, as was the truffle. The Fly Agaric (red one) was left alone for obvious reasons!

Mescan ‘Red Tripel’ is a Belgian-styled full bodied tripel, brewed in Westport Co. Mayo, on the Irish west coast. At 8% abv, this one is a sip & savour and is certainly one of my favourites. #craftbeer #beersky

Happy US Independence Day! Enjoy the holiday with those who mean something to you; those who make independence, self determination and the right to ensure that those who form your community are regarded as equal & afforded all of the dignity that you would expect for yourself. 🇺🇸

Ok, I’m about to give the impression that I live in a hyperbaric chamber or something (😉), but I just finished binge watching Department Q #DeptQ

Matthew Goode, Alexej Manvelov, Shirley Henderson & Team are excellent. Genuinely gripping Scottish drama & just a great show. Well done @netflix.com

Still one of my favourite releases from the Writers’ Tears brand. This and the Inniskillin Ice Wine releases of course. 😋 🥃

On the days when Donald isn’t insisting that everyone must respect him & dress appropriately’, he likes to spend his time pretending to the world that he’s the Pope. The most disrespectful, moronic, unhinged, narcissistic, childish American President, ever.
This won’t end well.

So, Amazon’s retail prices go up, they start preparations to make 14,000 managers redundant & initiate comms in anticipation of a quarterly drop in revenue & Bezos sycophantically lets the orange moron off the hook for the impact of his tariffs? This is the problem with billionaires. #nothisproblem

Well now this is awkward. What’s he going to call New York, New Hampshire and New Jersey? One of them’s definitely getting called ‘Trumpville’ - I’d move fast on ‘New America 2’ if I were you New York. Only sayin……

Distilled in 2002 in Cooley Distillery, this single grain whiskey was matured in a first fill Bourbon barrel, refilled into a H&H Madeira wine cask & bottled @ 57% abv. in Feb ‘25.
Delicious notes of burnt toffee, graduating to some strong cinnamon spice, caramelised orange & honey. 😋 🥃

I swear by Ron Vara, Sauron & Lord Voldemort, this Customs tariff nonsense is really getting out of hand! 😉 😂
Here is some Chimay ‘Grande Réserve’ beer triple fermented & aged in French, American & Armagnac barrels. And Jamón Iberico infused dark chocolate.
Simply delicious. 🇮🇪 🇧🇪 🇪🇸 🇺🇸

Happy Monday morning folks! What’s the plan? Mine is; first drink the coffee & then (and only then!), do the stuff.
Sound good? Cool. 👍🏻 ☕️

“Cloudburst and steady downpour now for days.
Still mammal,
straw-footed on the mud, he begins to sense weather by his skin.
A nimble snout of flood licks over stepping-stones and goes uprooting.
He fords his life by sounding.
Soundings.”
Gifts of Rain. Seamus Heaney

“Revenge of the Tipping Point” - I enjoyed reading this, as I’ve enjoyed many of Malcolm’s other titles over the 25yrs. The ‘Small Area Variation’ assessments are interesting & unfortunately, from the vaccination perspective, will be tested over the next couple of years. Well worth a read. 👍🏻

You remember those early days, when you were full of passion & drive; getting into politics so that you could change the world & make it a better place? Yes? Well it looks like you and Governor Cox might have nothing in common….! 😬
