No pizza is left in the horsebox overnight.

Really lovely to help launch Hobsons Brewery's IWCBD beer, Six Sirens, in Cleobury Mortimer tonight, ably assisted by Ludlow's epic Pizza Girls.

Oh, what a night.

Ordered takeaway for the family even though I'm not there, and I'll just get whatever's left microwaved in a few hours.

See? Work, family... you can have it all! 😂

That's very nice indeed.

Administrator?

There's a 1797 patent of the beer engine. Certainly be rife by 1901 I should say. Or gravity dispense. Maybe it was just the drama that knocked him crook though...

I feel like this has been around for a while. Usually lo or no, but not always.

I had one with pea protein a few years back and it tasted unbelievably awful. So that was fun.

Then "carnage paid to any railway station" instead of "carriage paid"

I've just seen a transcription of a newspaper advert that read "knees on application" instead of "price on application." Which made me laugh.

Can confidently tell you that fight cloud is the sort of thing you see when cartoon characters like those from Hanna Barbera fight. Never heard it named before though.

Day finished off with a glowing report at Parents Evening. Very proud of my little whale.

The snail only took an hour or two to work up, it's just two tubes really...

Aww, well she's happy and that's the main thing!

I thought it would be a delightful play on the original. That didn't wash.

At least it's a year until the next one.

It's a very nice book. I was hoping to be able to make her into the snail cos that's easier, and she's got a little stuffed whale that came with the book when she got it for a present a few years ago. But NO - she had to be the whale.

My daughter, dressed as an ode to whale, with a crocheted snail on her head.

Well, I did it. (Our World Book Day is today as one year were on residential last week.)

The Snail and the Whale was non-negotiable. Being The Whale was non-negotiable. I think I did OK.

Time for a nap.

That doesn't mean I don't like it.

WHAT'S THAT SPELL? FISH!
WHAT'S THAT SPELL? FISH!
WHAT'S THAT SPELL? FIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIISH!!!

a tribute.

Oh no, this one hits hard. Devastatingly sad loss.

Wouldn't be the same beer without it!

I did that, and also peered at it intently at several points.

My second local.

Aww kinda tempted to pop to welly now. What time you in? Is it pheasant, boot, cock? Or wrekin?

Ha ha, easily frightened!! You just in welly or doing the Unicorn?

I'm sort of around Mon but got parents evening 3.15, away weds and Thursday 😭

Arghh, we were in Wellington this morning!! Watching the rugby at my local later but it's a 20 min walk from Welly.
