Can you support a local brewery that does doorstep delivery?

Steve
Yup, Saltire Brewery delivered last week..
Cheers, HG

K110+DA40, K200+DA35, K3 and a bag of lenses, bodies and other bits.

Mustn't forget the Zenits, or folders, or...

Our local craft brewery is in trouble because of the lockdown. Trying to persuade His Nibs to buy a crate or two, even if it is more than twice the price of his normal beer.

But at three times the quality, flavour and all the other things that really count, it's surely a bargain...

I agree there Steve and think Gwyn should put her foot down and support her local brewer.

Oh and it's SALTAIRE Brewery, sorry for the typo, that's the result of drinking good beer...

Buy another fridge
We already have two and they are both full!
We've had 2 (one for her, one for me) for decades - and two upright freezers (smallish one in the kitchen, and a much bigger one in the conservatory)
K-3 II, K-3 and a K-70 from SRS (having now relegated the K-30 /"K-50" to a backup body), & some Sigma and Pentax lenses (and a lot of old 35mm gear!)

Just back from ALDI, short queue and most things on the shelves..

...except tomatos for some reason.

They even had a full meat selection, not that I bought any.

Here's a photo grabbed this morning while playing in the garden, a very rare bird...

A bit early but I think it might be beer o'clock, cheers

We still get F16s and F35s going over us. But at least they are soon gone.
I was just wondering if it was time for a G&T after all my hard work in the garden.
Bit early yet though.

Often true - but NOT gin (and "whatever") as I have never liked that "version" of alcohol!

Well I just earned mine, having dusted off my bike, inflated the tyres and went for a spin for the first time in as long as I can remember. I forgot how unforgiving the saddle is, not for nothing is it called a Hardrock! Ouch!

Yep, agree, saddles are not made the way they were used to, i purchased a new bike the middle of March, spend far to long in a car or sat behind a desk, so not ridden for 8 years or more.

Started off slowly and got to the 100 miles mark on Sat, did purchase a pair of gel cycling shorts, cost £50, but soooooooo much more comfortable

As long as you don't fall off and need emergency care!
Here they have been dissuading mountain bikers and Mamils from going out as they are too accident prone. Just on Friday to Mamils had serious crashes requiring trauma helicopters and lord knows what else.

It was another lovely day in lockdown land here. More weeding done, more G&T consumed, and a leg of local lamb consumed. So if you are around this area and you see a three legged sheep you know why...
