Original day off plan for afternoon film postponed, as I realised there was a screening perfectly timed for after work tomorrow, so instead stroll to local, a pint of Jarl, and get on with reading in preparation for Cymera Festival chairing duties.

I've not chaired a gig since before my surgery a few months back, now I have three author events within a month of one another to prep for. Lot of work, but also a lot of fun!

Continuing to read while also reacquainting myself with an old friend, a pint of Deuchars.
Along with Caley 80, my go-to ale for many years.

Really not what it once was, supplanted by newer, better IPAs, but still decent enough pint. On draught in the local (for a mere£3.90!), so indulging in nostalgia. Or should that be "nostalegia"?😋

@LordWoolamaloo Deuchars isn't even brewed in Embra any more—IIRC it's owned by S&N and brewed down south.

@cstross @LordWoolamaloo Heineken. Brewed at Belhaven. Heineken have been busy asset stripping of late, closing Caley and grubbing up ancient cider apple orchards to sell to developers.

@feorag @cstross yep, TBH it wasn't as good even before the original brewery closed. Shame, really was one of my favouites back in the day

@LordWoolamaloo @feorag It was REALLY good, 20-25 years ago. Then the quality became highly erratic.
