Feeling comfortably numb after having one of my Belgian beer selection pack. Only 10.5%

Didn't think I'd like it, but I'd sipped it, rather than gulped it down. Not sure if I can do another, as I'd probably fall asleep on the sofa

Had a great guided tour once of a brewery in Belgium. The jovial (and slightly rotund) chap showing us around said their weakest brew was about 5%, called Blusser, or Extiguisher in English, was the stuff they gave to sick children and was similar to Stella. The rest of their range started at 10% and was meant to be a complex drink to be sipped like wine. Some of it was great but not the sort of stuff to drink in a session!

Indeed Sir Trev, I had a night out in Brugge with a local pilot, who took us to a bar tucked away in a side street. The beer was on a menu, like a wine list, and you didn't quaff it. I had 4 beers that night, and no hangover, even though they were strong beers.

The usual Irish pub near our hotel served the cooking larger

Flippin quiet in our house now. The Monkey and her boyfriend have headed down to his mum's in Southampton for New Year and Father-in-Law has gone to see one of his old school mates in Marlow for the day. Once I drive him home to Shrewsbury tomorrow it will be just Lady Poppy and me again at Trev Towers. Nice as Chrimbo is it's also nice to get the sofa back to yourselves!

sometimes i really am a plonker.....

i just bought 10 50xLP carry cases to put my record collection in the attic (there is already tons up there). they arrived today after ordering them yesterday and while unpacking them from their heavy duty cardboard boxes it just struck me that the cardboard boxes are the same size as the contents so i now have double the amount of LP storage i needed.....

glad i got the 50x ones instead of the 100x as they are frigging heavy when full.

Pretty much no alcohol consumed on my part over Christmas apart from a cup of mulled wine last night!

Very restrained. I've emptied 3 bottles of 10 year old Tawny in the last 8 days. Can't resist Port
