Day 8 without a drop passing my lips now.



So that's at least the coming weekend and hopefully the rest of the month!

Spitting Feathers February!

I give Hal till the 26th when he gets beat at home by Ipswich town and that is generous.

He'll probably be onit like a car bonnet on Friday!

You know it makes sense you looking piss head

Nope, nope, nope!

Although I did mean to write up to at least the coming weekend in my previous post.



Weekdays are easy but, unfortunately, old habits die very hard at the weekend.

Beer and wine while waiting for the full moon after a run on Wednesday

Nuts with the beer and a banana with the wine

But the clouds did not bode well for a lunar light-show

Beers for running rehydration

1st one erupted in a Vesuvius of froth from being carried in the pannier over too many bumps and I was down almost half a bottle by the time it subsided

The second one behaved itself, luckily, and I had brought a sneaky beach skittle for emergency back-up, so all's well that ends well

Peanuts go well with beer but you really need to lay a large mixed kebab with hot chilli down on top for good measure

Brain freeze!!



£2.75 each, Happy hour

A few heavy hitters tonight to ward of the bitterly cold weather..



Will This winter never end?
I don't think I've seen that orange blob in the sky this year.

^ Thursday will be a balmy 14 degrees, with wind and rain

Excellent

Onit..

Can you not stand to drink a whole glass of it?

Cyrille doesn't know what it's like to have friends.

^^ Minesweeping?

^^Those unfunny cartoons make you lots of pals?

As for 'friends', they're probably just her other four saps, reminiscing.

But anyway, drinking a beer brewed in fkin Tadcaster and owned by Coors because your team's playing Real Madrid.



No wonder they call City fans 'plastics'.

Dumb consumerism at its worst.

Cyrilles time of the month again.

A fins selection Joe. I need to get back to Uncle Dan's for some assorted imports from the Old Dart


Rozzers were on the beach with a surf life-safer pulling a young lady out of the waves so I had to be discreet with my post-run beach bevvies behind the boulders

Protein supplements and a wine chaser in the bag for good measure

clearly.

A problem when you stop the habitual evening drinking habit is that the dogs suffer from the lack of evening socialising, but I do try to keep the tradition going at least once a week.

This week's Saturday night treat was Leo Supreme, a signature edition brew with special hops.

It did taste a bit different to be honest, and after a couple I felt half cut, but maybe that was due to an unexpectedly strong batch of Ya Dong?

These subtle variations of Leo - great stuff.

Monet took a few goes at things sometimes, before he was satisfied.

You could ​drink tea or summtink…

Someone's getting a bit cleverer at branding their fruit wines like the real thing.

Stopped off in a small Lotus's's last night, and TNY mentioned that she's never tasted wine before. She is under the legal age to drink, so I suppose it shouldn't have been too surprising.

Their selection was rather small, but the prices were quite surprising.




I haven't drank or bought wine in 3 - 4 years, but don't recall btls of Wolf Blass only being 3xx baht each.





Perhaps a mistake?

They had all been pillaged anyway, so I was left with this:






13% which ticked the MalmoMike box deep within.



A quick scan saw the Cab-Sav and South Australian words without much attention paid to the rest.



Was that for 345 baht, which I thought was pretty cheap, possibly priced incorrectly cheap, or a 1.5 mendo bag of Montclair or Laughing Bird btl.


Wasn't bad, wasn't good. Certainly in no rush to buy it again. TNY mixed hers with water, thankfully not soda water.



Without any knowledge on the subject, I would guess that they import either the Aussie grapes then turn it into wine here with extra fruit juice added and don't have to pay a vat full of tax, or import it in barrels of an unsellable form, mix the fruit juice in here, the btl and sell and get away with low taxing.
