24 Jan 12 Before & After

Before

I decided it was time to get my locks shorn.

In other words dear reader, get a haircut.

After

So, I shifted my butt to the barbers, and after waiting for about an hour (he was busy), I got it done.

I had to grab a pint afterwards, as it was a traumatic experience of course.

Other guys reading this will understand – it’s a major operation. Well, that’s my excuse and I’m sticking to it.

Anyway, I was happy with the result, but ‘er indoors thinks it’s a bit too short at the sides, and too long on top.

Charming, I must say, especially after she got hers cut too, and I paid for it, and I didn’t make disparaging remarks.

Oh, well, never mind. I was upset though, so I had to have another pint.

09 Aug 11 Old Crafty Hen

Dropped into the local Morrison’s on the way home, and picked up a few bottles.

One of them is this delicious offering from the Morland Brewery.

Old Crafty Hen is a malty amber ale, and is matured in vintage oak vats.

It has a smooth raisin finish.

It’s a decent strength too, which balances that maltiness with an abv of 6.5%.

Morrison’s are selling a 500ml bottle (just under a pint), at just £1.89 each.

Perhaps it’s a bit too strong for some to have as a session beer, and it’s not really a summer ale; more suited to a winter’s evening in my view with all that malt, but I’d certainly be up for sinking a few when I’ve got the time!

27 Jul 08 The Daily Plate

$Parson Jack\'s Brunch$ Blew it out of the water a bit today. Went for All You Can Eat Brunch at Parson Jacks. I ate all I could too. Had a pint of wonderfully yummy Hot Dog Barley Wine to wash it down too.
