WoW......life is complicated.
Hospital just been back on.
Nov 17th I have to self isolate.
Nov 18th 08.35 i have to turn up for swabs up my nose and down my throat.
Then self isolate again.
Nov 20th........a different hospital where I have the camera.
Assuming everything is clear I can't even go to the pub to celebrate :sad:

It's starting to feel like life will never be the same again......at least for a considerable time. :sad:

Would you want to go to the pub to celebrate after having a camera there?

Best o'luck though, on all the parts of this.

TBH.......MrsD normally goes with me. Each time we say "if all is clear we will go for a celebration meal".......what actually happens is, I am so drained that I can't face food.
I will make sure I have a decent malt in the house for this one.

Hopefully with this new vaccine there will be light at the end of the tunnel finally. I hear they are going to partner with other companies to produce more of the vaccine. This one will give other researchers time to produce finnese other vaccines.

An "all clear" drink/meal is a different matter. I was thinking "a drink now it's done".

Isn't it throat first then nose?

The naked chef has been busy again making another batch of mince pies,
I would like to know who eats them all as it can't be just me :mrpig:

I wonder which I’m going to get first, the coronavirus vaccine or an appointment for the dental checkup that I should have had in May ?

I've just had a notification from the Barking Cat that they've some new cask beers available for delivery.
What caught my eye was the Brew from Tiny Rebel Brewery in Newport. It's " Stay Puft Imperial Coconut Creme Edition" a double 9% Porter.
I've fond memories of drinking something similar at the Wimborne Beer festival a few years back. That one was called " Gurt Coconuts", it was like drinking a deliciously warming liquid Bounty Bar. 😁

No idea tbh.
Not looking forward to it either way.

I wasn't sure about the " Gurt Coconuts" at first tasting. Oddly enough it didn't taste too rich. It took me about five pints before I decided I definitely liked it 😉

We've all heard the old wives tales of what goes into Scrumpy, I've heard that Newport Brewery are straining their Coconut Porter through Welshies Bloomers :laugh:
