Uh, when did "honey beer" become a good way to describe mead? Poking around at stuff to do in Drawwda over the next while I came across the Annagassan Viking Festival. Where there will be "mead (honey beer)" Shall have a shufty, as part of Operation Needs a Better Name. Not least cos I wanna know if they mean mead or they mean honey beer. Beer good, beer foamy. Mead good, mead, uh, not foamy. Unless I've been Doing It Wrong all these years...

To those who are on the list for the next batch, it's fermenting. Won't update more on that until it's bottled and ready for distribution.

Getting drunk on the train tracks is not funny and it's not clever. There was some pelting of stones at my house. It's stopped now, I hope this means they haven't fallen asleep on the tracks. Next train is in less than two hours.

Oh, spoke too soon. There is now singing. I use the word loosely.

OGSootHMO, day three

There was my grandfather's anniversary mass, there was shopping with Martha, there was lunch, there was moar shopping. Martha is a god of shopping. Brought back some stuff that was bought as presents and now instead of cropped combats and a figure hugging slinky top (really, no-one needs to see how big this belly has got since I've been off my feet and comfort eating) that look hideous on me I now have black jeans and black trousers that fit and suit me. And new boots, I couldn't resist, they were less than a fiver and fit!

And then she bought me a cookie to keep me entertained while I sat outside M&S cos I couldn't walk or stand any more and was sweating from the effort of staying upright. And now I'm going to sleep.
