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"?😋
The lacing was absolutely fabulous on this English Pale Ale (Northern Monkey - Fall From Grace), served from cask at the Post Office Vaults in Birmingham. #craftbeer#RealAle#Foam@beersofmastodon
Have managed decent afternoon walk, take a few photos, by pure chance bumped into someone I've not seen in ages & chatted in Meadows.
Still tire out easily, so Cloisters for seat, drink & sit with book. First time in a pub in weeks, not been in since the surgery. Beer and book therapy now.
#Introduction, in case anybody cares. I work teaching kids to ride bikes #Bikeability, and in a bike shop where we refurbish donated bikes and do repairs #BikesLoveYou.
I like #mountainbiking and biking generally, good food and #RealAle I live in the East Midalnds with my lovely partner, who's an academic.
