Whilst the daily reality of living during a pandemic feels strange, what feels more strange is thinking back to the time when I would get on a train to go to the barbers, have a hair cut and on the way home stop off at the local supermarket. Later on meet up with friends for a meal or a pint. I l...

A fine aniseed flavoured apéritif ..... Last drank similar flavours back in 1984, Kirkuk, Iraq. Known there as Araq. Calmed ones nerves during periods of intense cross border air activity.

An ancient bottle of green Chartreuse lurks at the back of the drinks shelf. It's from my wife's family. The story is that it's the last from a crate bought at least 60 years ago. The last-but-one bottle was consumed slowly, pleasurably, and mainly by me, a long time ago over several years of visit...

For some extra pin money, which I believe is non taxable up to £2000 pa in the UK, you could monetise your photography if you have time on your hands. As many stock photo sites are US based you will need to download a form to avoid the US Government deducting tax at source but it is a one-off and pr...

Checked in at Basildon. All OK until I was informed no evening meal at 17:45 due to "some serious issue" and restaurant will be closed at 17:00. :shock: I may get a meal delivered to my room if I walk across and speak to the manager.... I was told "you can eat it inside but must be out by 17:0...

Found a bottle from Tintagel Brewery at the back of the fridge, only 15 months past it's best-before date, it still tastes ok but then anything would after the day I’ve had.

Porton Down are onto the new strain. I was there for a week back in Feb, just before the balloon went up.

What a morning. Queued outside for half an hour at the butchers for my pre-ordered turkey breast only to be charged considerably more than I expected (shades of the Cratchitt family, "its the smallest one we could get") only for Mrs RobL to tell me when I got back it would have been half the price i...

Queued outside for half an hour at the butchers for my pre-ordered turkey breast Just got back from doing exactly that. At least it didn't start raining until I was in the shop. The locally brewed beer strategically placed near the checkout was tempting. Then I remembered that the beer cupboard is ...

Well the sun shone down south which was nice. Saw the sons and the grandsons. Much whatsapping back and forth with the UK. Just got back from the south to more rain. Hope your in-laws are OK Kris. Friends of ours are under evacuation order for a wildfire in California. Not the best way to spend...

Following on from an exchange some time ago... And the good news here is that my neighbour says the brew he has been making using my hops is now in bottles and will be ready to drink in about a week's time. I look forward to the review Steve. Well, after he had sampled a bottle, next door recommen...

Just made a dash to Toolstation to get an item I need to finish a domestic job a Not just me then... A quick trip to a bed shop yesterday to order a bed before going into a tier in which non-essential shops are closed. Turns out there was no need to rush, we're going into Tier 3 so the shop will ...

Ours sits in the front porch. It's a real one that has had successively bigger pots so that now, when we return it to the back garden we have to heave it onto a heavy duty four wheeled trolley (used for for moving pianos).

My fiancé has had her jab this morning. They took names in the hospital pharmacy where she works, after which it was seemingly random. Was told this morning that she had an appointment for early this afternoon. All done, slightly achy arm a la flu jab and nothing else. Back to work this afternoon.

If you're called for a jab, go for it! Not just for your own sake, but for the rest of us too. Steve Well said Steve, unfortunately I'll have to wait a while for mine being in 'group7', but when called I'll be there. The more people injected the sooner we'll know how good these vaccines are an...
