Pic no.4 is definitely from the world's biggest chess set.😀

Two sheep in the foreground on a field with mountains in the background. There are clouds in the pale blue sky, some of which are lower than the mountains.

Twice I've read this post as celebrity hot blackcurrant, which makes being unwell seem more glamorous.

I wouldn't say I've met a miserable Cumbrian, but one guy I've met dozens of times has been having an off day an awful lot of those times.

Harry Hill did "Nicholas Witchel, Phil Mitchell" in a not who you want to get mixed up a long time ago.

A grey day with poor visibility at the beach. The shore stretches out to the distance & another shore across the water can just be seen through the low cloud.

Grey day at the seaside. The Scottish coast can just be seen through the gloom.

IN THE event of a catastrophic oil-spill at sea, haven't the likes of Shell and BP considered throwing a load of sliced mushrooms on the slick? Them bastards hoover up all the oil in the pan when I'm trying to do a fry-up. Plus, a bedraggled cormorant might appreciate a snack whilst waiting to be rescued. Eldon Furse, email

I figure sober me knew better back at about 16:00 & I'm gonna trust his judgement on this.

Don't you worry about me. I can handle it.

I thought it was a universal thing: odd sock.

No. I was at work today, but it's party night tonight.

Should have put more beer in the fridge.

I didn't intend to suggest it was.

Always remember that you'll end up with umpteen litres of the finished beer at the end, so I find erring on the side of caution best.

My Brett beers so far have involved making a regular beer - then instead of bottling it, transferring it to a 2nd fermenter with the dregs of my last Brett beer in. Leave for another week & bottle.

After 6 weeks it's lovely. After 12 weeks, it's still nice but the Brett dominates everything.

Pics or it didn't happen...

Tonight's beer is the bastard child of 1 litre of NZ brut Jasmine IPA mixed with 1/2 litre of honey, jasmine & Brettanomyces beer.

Boy does a little Brett go a long way.

It sounds like it's up there with mature cheddar & lime pickle sandwiches 😋

Up here the sun dips below the horizon in a couple of weeks for the last time until early March when it breaks over the horizon again.

When I say off piste, I mean "not a run of the mill beer made with the usual ingredients, in the usual way".

This was rather off piste when I visited Glasgow last year & met @robsterowski.bsky.social who gifted me a bottle.

Fyne Ales seem to be the front runners in making wild ales in Britain with an amazing variety of fruit, herbs & microorganisms going into some of their amazing beer.

I've got all of Lethal Fizzle's early stuff on vinyl.

Ooh!

A river running under a bridge from a town centre and towards the viewer in the low sun of an evening.

I can confirm that Jennings new Helles lager is a perfectly fine beer.

A path through a churchyard & an avenue of trees - lit higher up by the low evening sun. The path runs downhill to a town in the distance.

Been for a walk downtown to a local landmark this evening.

I would hide my face too if I had a Make Britain Great baseball cap.
