Clawhammer from Tring Brewery - very nice, and well kept. Pleased to see 3 real ales on at The Fancott, after changing hands.
Couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw what this allotmenteer was arrested (by armed police) for carrying! I have one of these, and will be keeping it hidden away from now on 😱

We were among the 65,000 people who turned out for the victorious Lionesses last week on their homecoming. A few more than the 7000 they had just three years ago…
Many thanks to @manton for the offer for teachers and nurses. I’m back on micro.blog after a couple of years away.
Last night, at Smida Jazz Festival.
Final leg of my outbound journey, on a sleeper train from Vienna to Cluj Napoca. My compartment is quite comfortable, although they seem to be having trouble with the electricity as the lights won’t stay on… 🚂
Grüß Gott!
Another advantage of train 🚂 travel - 2 hours to make a connection means time for dinner, not hanging around in airport queues and running to a gate.
Short hop complete, now it’s an ICE train from Koblenz to Vienna 🚂
Today’s adventure: a 24hr journey from Germany to Romania by train, including my first sleeper train 🚂 . I’m trying to cut down on flights wherever possible.
In case you were wondering, it is raining in Manchester…

Last weekend I tested positive for COVID. By that time I was already feeling better. The worst thing about it though: now I can’t get a booster until January :/
New pen 🖋
Echinacea has taken its sweet time this year, but so worth it.
I have completed my first home electrics DIY and installed a light in our attic. I shall now bask in glory (/the sunshine) for the rest of the day.
