In case anyone's interested the Polka Champagne Yeast Candy Cane Pale was utterly abysmal beyond words and went down the sink to poison some marine life.

Drat! and double drat!
Early celebration with a bottle or two of Ridgeview Sussex fizz, happy Fridat you lovely N.S.C.ers!

Someone on the BrewDog forum tried that last night and drain poured half of it
Shame. Omnipollo beers, whilst completely out there, are usually very good. I guess they can’t always get it right.

The venue for my Fridat dwinkies will be Fourth & Church. Can't wait.
I won a bottle of that on the works raffle. Sold it for £20.

It was genuinely terrible, but the rest of the advent box has been a delight.

I've been craving Guinness all through lockdown, I never liked it before though?

Call me old fashioned, but I think the clue was there, in the name 'Polka Champagne Yeast Candy Cane Pale'
I know it's boring but I seem to have become stuck on South American Malbecs for the last couple of months. Oh well, time to open another

Enjoying a lovely cup of Dorset tea.
Four pints of Marble Manchester Bitter from The Foghorn waiting for a little later on.
a good way to start to Christmas. Running tomorrow?
Hopefully, yes. Will need to run off the four pints of Marble bitter!
Always feels like burning the candle at both ends at this time of year.

Do they have tea plantations in Dorset? Probably not, in which case why do they put a pretentious label on it. Same as Yorkshire Tea...
Shit, I had no idea it is Friday. I thought it was Wednesday or maybe Thursday. Difficult to keep track when its dark literally 24/7.
I want to meet human beings. Or maybe just a cat. Or just something a bit more interactive than a fruit fly. Its just been six weeks since I saw or heard the voice of anyone I know but it feels like six months. No christmas or new years coming up to break the monotony. Nada. La Madre is working in the currently worst off carehome in Sweden and can not take the risk of me dragging home this virus, she's the only experienced nurse left. Its a war out there and I'm fortified in this couch. This couch is my life. For how long **** knows.
And in the midst of it all... the Swedish alcohol monopoly. 45 minutes on a tram got be able to get myself drunk. No chance. Just moving around in this 18 sqm apartment is overwhelming. Friday is nothing. It means its been about four days since I flushed my toilet though. Twice a week is how often I can stand the 24 hours of constant whistling and loud dripping from the toilet once its flushed.
On the bright side I went to the store today. I bought cigarettes, pasta, pesto and milk. Since its not possible to completely close the door to my "french balcony" its always cold in here - the milk lasts forever despite me not daring to open the refrigerator since in February. I will have fresh milk for days. Its one of those small things that makes life worth living.
