Revolutionary Rants

OK, so the weekends are just going really fast now. It is a fact I have to face. Ho-hum. It is one of those 10 minutes perception things - only in weekend form - where if you were stood on a platform waiting for a train ten mins would be like hours, but if you were snoozing whilst your loved one showered in the morning ten mins goes passed at light-speed. Not good, but life.

It was a nice weekend, however. It was generally spent “not doing very much” but I did get time to do some weeding yesterday and also some spare room clearing. We also went, with Si and Sarah, to the North Devon Beer Festival at Barnstaple Leisure Centre. We didn’t have high hopes, but ended up having a lovely evening. You got a half pint glass as you entered and brought token to get beer. We all got a different one each time and all tried a sip of the other’s choices. There were loads from Devon, but I tried ones from Wakefield, Maldon (my second favourite, Maldon Gold), Tyneside (my favourite, Tyneside Blonde), Glastonbury (in honour of the day it was, Solstice!) and other places. Because of the half pinters and the passing round we didn’t drink too much individually but got to  try lots of differing ales and had a nice quiet chat as well. There was hardly anyone there, to be honest, and the staff said it was the busiest night, too! We also went for a curry, afterwards. Yum.

Chicken is now sucked in to Zelda on the Wii and Ferris just got the all-clear from the vets, ten days post-op. Now he can go on his long lead again I shall take him out prior to work, so more later.
