I have not seen a horse racing board game since Totopoly. Was this any good Craig?

Agreed. It's 13c at the moment 😃. I'm only wearing a T-shirt but the back of the house is in direct sunlight 🌞 so it's really warm on the balcony

Ok no worries, maybe an Aperol Spritz then?

Nice selection there

Drinks on the balcony anyone?

Locals say there's always snow on the ground Nov - March but it used to last right through until April and be much deeper. That said it's been great this year and we've had a good covering right up until a week or so ago.

A lovely morning here and yayyyyy we can see most of the garden now.

Next up is this lovely 7% abv west coast IPA, that’s by Zichovec from the Czech Republic #BskyBeer 🇨🇿🍺

I see what you did there 😃

Back home after our little train issue earlier. Happy Friday, cheers all 🍻

I've got a Dog A or is it a B I forget 🤣 anyway might crack it open this weekend. Really sad for all those small investors (equity punks) out there who've lost everything.

Seemed really weird & super quick turnaround to get the Köln train out & the Wien ICE in & off again all within 7-9 mins, hence we assumed it was ours. Should have realised when we saw someone in what we mistakenly thought were our seats 🤣, but then looked up to see Köln destination & train moving.

First train disaster of trip. A late platform change at Frankfurt for Wien train (we catch this to Plattling). Loz saw ICE in we got on it, 🤔 weird it left 7mins early oh no we're on a Köln train 😱. Change at Frankfurt 🛫 now on train to München Hbf 😡 so a further train & rail replacement (bus) now.

I was singing that last week 😂

Looks like we just missed each other? We stopped for a couple before heading back to the hotel.

Ah that's it, I think that you simply mentioned it as somewhere you stayed opposite but had yet to visit so we decided to check it out. @lambicqueen.bsky.social definitely put us onto Booze n Blues though and it was in the 80 bars in Brussels book as I recall.

Orval v Bruxellensis

Booze' n Blues now

Funny you should say that I mentioned that to Loz as a possibility.

We're having another 😃. The after work crowd has gone and it's gone from super bustling to just a handful but it's a lovely place.

It's a great place isn't it Tim. I have a feeling that @pisci.bsky.social told me about this place many, many years ago. Anyway we're having another 🥳.

It's great isn't it.

We meant to pop in here last week but instead went to Moeder Lambic, the one a short walk from here & wow that place has really nosedived ☹️

We (me, my brother, dad and friend) stumbled across it & dived in to escape the rain back in 2018, stopping for a couple of hours.

It's been a few years since I last visited Café Bebo, Brussels, 2018 according to my notes/review. It's an easy walk from Midi towards the centre. Prices fab', most around the €5 mark, about 140-150 bottles and 11 draft offerings, v.popular, nice mixed crowd and v.friendly, highly recommended.

Yeah it's a fantastic place that I can only realistically get to 2-3 times a year, but yeah so glad my mum lives close by.

Great to see you also Craig, we had a wonderful afternoon. Enjoy your trip to Ypres and also De Dolle this weekend 🍻

Back in @tripelb.bsky.social , Worcester, back on the Fantome TripelB 🍻💯

Looks beautiful, what a lovely morning.

We're deep in cider and perry country here at Loz's Mum and sisters between Eardisley and Kington in Herefordshire

It still tasted bloody great, love that beer 😃

Hoping to make another visit tomorrow afternoon, this time with Loz. Perhaps it'll be in the correct glass then.

Another great supermarket beer from Polly's, Past Future a pale ale. This time Morrisons, Leominster. Cheers all 🍻

Brilliant 🤣.

I think that you made a wise decision, don't want to chance it with those other options 🤣.

Btw that looks like a cracking place.
