There's potentially a shortage of Guinness.

It’s a great way for free advertising. This is not new the trend towards stout. The food program covered it months ago. The good news is many smaller brewers are seeing increase in sales. The trend is towards more independent brands. I suspect Diageo don’t like it hence make up a shortage. It’s high time the market moved away from Guinness. Which is most likely nicked from a London porter recipe.

Off for an early morning walk may get blown along more than walk.

Anspach and Hobday's London Black is one of those porters fighting back. It's almost a dark mild that's copied the nitrogen serve of Guinness. Well worth a try if you like your beers malty. Though 6 in the morning is probably a little early for most people....

Good morning.
I couldn't sleep and I was thinking:
What is the life span of a snail and what distance could it cover over 24 hours
I know I am a bit weird but can anybody answer that ?

Today's 24 plate truck has 172681 kilometres on the odometer and has taken me to Swan Valley thence onwards to Dorden, Tamworth.

Morning.
It's a bit dark at the moment but it looks dry out with clear sky with only a few small clouds about.

I wonder if the CEO's of that big American medical insurance company will change their policy on not paying out on claims now?

Are these metric or imperial snails?

Metric cos it is quicker to move 1 km instead of 1 mile.

Ah! But were you supposed to go there?

First into the office today again. No wind or rain to report at the moment. My foot still hurts a bit but is a lot better.

A half-day today

 

[Gwylan]

I am dressing ready to go for a "sortie a velo"
Sunshine, watery but present. Seemingly no wind.
First time out for a fortnight. Family and other diversions have interfered with my routine

Hang on.. I'll check 👍
