@kathrynhall_ Name names, then we can all have a bit of fun

Some odds n ends of prep work for hanginh baskets and - finally - I am calling time! Tools down, glass grabbed.

I think I have earned this pint. A 6.1% and heavier bodied than my usual, but really quaffable.
I think I shall sleep early tonight.

Finally connected the outdoor socket and placed the fairy lights
Painted the faces of the two sheds, takes the bad look off them. Sides & backs for another day.
Need to upgrade the front of the new raised bed. I remembered slates I used as bedding boxes about 29 years ago. They had been overgrown & forgotten. Unearthed 4 with 4 more to come. Will make a nice frontage

This little lady was taking a doze.
I am really hoping that the white stuff is pollen

If not then she and her hive colleagues are in for a short life!

@AdrianneElson @EastLondonBrew @SalopianBrewery @CrownBarBelfast No idea, but it seems semi regular.
@micktcos68 used to post what was coming up bit I haven't seen these info posts recently

On the #BFTWNI A-B-C trip to N/ards. Sausage & mash and lovely @GreeneKingIPA Ruddles to wash it down

@magnumlady I wasn't far off, LOL

Let no-one dare mention a soft edible product, now an independent subsidiary of Unilever on July 1, 2025.

@bftwni my surname means strong too - I'm learning

@EastLondonBrew @SalopianBrewery @CrownBarBelfast @AdrianneElson I was certain, when I got seduced by the rhubarb, that I asked for a half, but the staff know I normally never touch that measure.
@westoncider @MRMELISH

No worries.
Sink it (slowly), get home before the chippy shuts.

NB:
Not "chipper"

@EastLondonBrew @SalopianBrewery Made it to @CrownBarBelfast
Nice chat with Rachael (not Rachel as in OF&H)

Buddies to the fore, and excellent

@magnumlady Right

Checked a thesaurus

'Magnum' = 'Strong'

Good

@NigelSommelier There can only be one

@robertwlk That is really weird, Robert.

I lost 20 pounds today myself

It was all I had in my wallet

@GreeneKingIPA Thing is:

I remember the old bottles as "County"
But was it really "Country"?
Time can be a dreadful blackboard duster.

Anyway, I am suppring a second Ruddles. Bit of bubble on the side, but clear n malty.

[𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 ® @bftwni]

@GreeneKingIPA Takes me way back to the clear bottles of County with the ring pull. Once washed they were brill as candle holders (modern day candles are too thin)

[𝐁𝐄𝐄𝐑 𝐅𝐑𝐎𝐌 𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐖𝐎𝐎𝐃 ® @bftwni]

@NigelSommelier @EastLondonBrew I believe it is my first from them.
Mind you, I am now on a second
LOL
Takes a while to clear,
