I’m already looking at trainers. 🤣
And an air fryer.
And a new top.
And a new phone case.
🤭🫣

I’m a so and so for this. The nearer the end of the month I get, the more spendy I am.

Very much looking forwand to the Lucky 7 collab tonight with Minus Mob.

Japanese inspired cocktails and ice cream. Slightly anti my own no drinking in the week rules, but it’s a one off for such a fun thing. Oh wait, I’m having cocktails tomorrow too. 😅😂

The chips sometimes land like that. 🫣

I forgot all about this app! Hope everyone is feeling great!! 😊

I’m at a wedding. After the speeches, I got given a bottle of Bolly as part of the thank yous, only to have it taken away for the best man to get it (I got it mistakenly). The best man also got given a brand new (amazing, poss a Strat) guitar.

But like the Murphy’s. I’m not bitter. 😅😫

I rest my case. 😘

Popped up to Hazlewood Castle between Leeds and York for a bit of knocking around in the lovely sun. 🤩🥳😝

Im not sure you are going to the right places? 🤓

The nicer weather has meant that I left work on time. And went to enjoy the terrace at Eat Vietnam in Stirchley. Yes. It’s time. 🥰🤩

I may have been slightly cynical. The ‘fake’ spring may have done some forcing of its own.

It’s taken me until now to get out of my winter depression, just in time for my pre-spring depression!

Anyway, my first run of the year this evening seems to have solved that. Shame I was too depressed to try running before now in 2025. 😆

Yep. Another month. They are winging it and trying to force the cash.

I got some of the IDES sauce from Dark Fire last week. It’s a BIT hot, but it’s mostly Italian garlic and herb, and I love it so much I’m having it on everything! I’ve also found out that I love it on greek yoghurt in a savoury dish. 👌🏼

My work lunch for the week. Minus the 5 portions of veg daily.

Looks fun. Hope it is. 🤩

The Pelican beer fest is a go. 🤗

Great night at Caneat (Stirchley) last night at a talk by ex @loaf.coop founder Tom discussing his career path, using 6 loaves that were integral to his journey. All the way to two loaves w/Welsh influence now that he has started rye and roses in Machynlleth.

And also some butter making too.❤️

Many thanks to Fritz Lang! Looks ace 😍

I’ve just accidentally ordered a whole chicken meal with two sides at Peria in Cotteridge.

Oops.

1.4kg of chicken, peri fries and coleslaw . £16. 💥

Of course it is. We have all been modified. 🤣

When I was at school, if I ever saw someone being bullied, I’d help out the victim…if I could.

Imagine if I’d have only helped if I could have the victims bag and trousers? And then held his arms back, as he was being bullied, until he agreed?

How is the world allowing this?

Todays lunch. I’ve gone for the classic Buldak noodle. A shop near work is doing 4 for £5.

So this one is the hot chicken, with the cheese powder topping (yellow pack).

Made with my usual addition of spring onion, celery, carrot, mushroom, and baby sweetcorn…but with some cashews as a treat. 🤩

I don’t know for super certain. But it is all pointing in the same direction at the moment. I seem to remember having a similar week of non-comfort same time last year. I mean….being a late developer is kind of my thing, sooo. 😂

I don’t find him sexy at all. 😅

So I’ve had terrible sleep since Sunday. Blocked nose. Some nosebleeds. Then nose blocked all day. Antihistamine seems to give some relief. Thought it may be the work dog.

Just looked and the tree pollen count is high. I don’t get hay fever. BUT I may now get hay fever. 😩🫣

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

You could probably guess the reason. I’M NEVER THERE 😂

I have no fixed deal. I have been with the same supplier for over 15 years. My combined bill is about £30 a month, so I don’t really bother with changing. 🫣

CAMRA - An interview with the UK Chairman CAMRA Chairman An interview with the recently appointed Chairman of CAMRA, Ash Corbett-Collins by B Town Social, a Birmingham food and drink blogger.

I managed to interview the newish, much younger chairman of CAMRA. New blog post on my website.

So here’s the link if you are interested. The BBC Upload show. It was on air twice this past week.

And it’s got a big chunk (yes, chunk) of me, slap bang in the middle (1 hour 10 in, onwards, with a couple of songs in between)

I’m on BBC Sounds. 😂😂😂
