A long weekend started off with a beautiful imperial stout aged in Speyside barrels.

Nice
They have just released kegs of Old Peculiar on the Perfect Draft machine I have in my home bar and so there is a 12 pint keg sitting in there ready for when I get home.
Not my tipple, OP, but sounds good for a weekend!
if you like dark beers give Tynt meadow a try, its and English Trappist beer, i think it gives any of the equivalent Belgians a run for their money
Oh, I know it well. Very enjoyable. I did try their blonde recently and it was pretty disappointing sadly.

Last imperial stout I had was getting near wine strength ABV. A lovely drink but definitely one to take slowly. Think it was a Vocation barrel aged imperial stout

My grandaughter's under 16's football team introduced several new players and were 6-0 down after 20 mins.
Game finished 6-0 after a very even last 70 mins.

Not forgetting the side plate of bread and butter, and a pot of tea.
And guess who did his own battered cod tonight. Didn’t blow me away but pleased as a first attempt.

I'll put this here because all well that ends well
Community fibre came this morning to install the new fibre
Tech one arrived 8am to install the fibre to where I wanted tech two to drill.
After a lot of discussion I convinced tech two that rather than drill a new hole just take the cable through next to one of the existing cables.. no mess. Then a short distance just under the stairs and boom put the socket there.
Done.
He then couldn't get the broadband working due to an issue their end. Which an hour later had fixed
After much fiddling around with the mesh network they provided to sort out coverage in this ridiculous house (walls are like signal blockers) I'm getting
900mb in the hall
700mb in the living room
450mb in the kitchen
250mb in the loft
That's pretty acceptable speeds throughout considering the living room has the most usage and the loft is just at night.
Happy days

Not sure which is the bigger thing. You running 7 miles or a day without rain
wish there was somewhere decent for Fish & Chips around here, all are mediocre at best, poor considering where we are.
