    What Are You Drinking? May 2024

    I can't quite believe I am sitting in the garden drinking a Northern Lights, whilst watching the Northern Lights. Took a break earlier to head to the edge of town away from light pollution.

    Have A Nice Weekend

    It's my first time seeing them. I have headed out to a nearby lookout spot on the edge of town during high aurora alerts, only to be disappointed. Not tonight though. People and cars heading to the edge of town at midnight. I managed to find a quiet spot. Saw a few folk out on mountain bikes a a...

    Have A Nice Weekend

    Rather than worry about power grids, I am hoping for some wonderful Aurora Borealis.

    R.I.P. Bernard Hill.

    Saw that earlier. I forgot how much he was in. One of these actors that just pops up in films. Seaman Cole in The Bounty. That's a film I really like. Gis a job. I can do that.

    Orangutan heals its wound

    Thats interesting. There is a clip from BBC's Earth series of David Attenborourgh with an orangutan that had learned certain behaviour through watching human activity. He is sitting next to an orangutan attempting to hammer nails into a piece of wood. The orangutan also uses a panel saw to...

    Haven't bought a Lag 16 for a few years. Price hikes have been unjustifiable in my opinion, but it is lovely stuff.

    What Are You Listening To - May, 2024

    Won't be everyone's cup of tea, but been listening to a lot of MC Conrad the last few days. He passed away on Tuesday at the age of only 52. A big part of the UK's drum and bass scene particularly in the late 90's, early 00's https://youtu.be/qwRdzUuErfU?si=0C6p1XA1f05rC4uC

    Ennerdale Flake

    I have never tried it. I have tried Grousemoor though which I really enjoy. For anyone that's tried both, what's the similarities and differences between the two?

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    I have to say very hard cheeses of a Pecorino like texture isn't normally of the style I would go for. But I am a convert. Will be looking for more cheeses like that in future. We were eating the Manchego with a lovely chorizo like sausage from France.

    And Your Favourite Cheese Is?

    Just last week I tried 3 different Manchego cheeses that a friend brought back to Scotland after a work trip to Spain. I had never had it before. They were really tasty. My favourite was one that was coated in paprika. It was lovely.

    What Are You Drinking? April 2024

    You don't see Haig's blended scotch in supermarkets, however there is a Haig blended scotch product line called Dimple. What you do see in supermarkets is Haig Club which is a single grain whisky in a prominent blue bottle. It's the one promoted by David Beckham but I don't think it's very good.
