Best day for ages!!

Tuesday 10.04 p.m.

                               No drinking and no smoking and no seeing hardly anybody might seem a bit weird to some folk when combined with all the meditating and all, but it was very good today, so it was.

                               In the afternoon I cycled to the home brew shop, did some writing (!) (hurrah!), and went up to the allotment for some digging and meditating. Yon wee bit of dirt you can see in the bottom photie  is what took me an hour. It was the second dig, the one after the sod busting, the one with the fork so you can strain all the earth through it and separate the grass roots, etc. 

                               It shouldn't make you as tired as it makes me. I was just born unfit for manual labour. Allah Akbar.

                               The home brew can is for weissbier. It cost me £16. It makes 40 pints. That means that each pint of home brewed weissbier costs about three and six, or fourteen drachmas, or under fifty pence in your money. So you could get pretty blootered for about £2 and definitely for £2.50. That's about half of the price of the vino collapso.

                               It was a bad day when Peckham's closed. It was Peckhams who got me into decent bottled beer. Oh, the Erdinger. The Scotmid shop which replaced Peckhams as the nearest off-licence doesn't sell decent beer, and it was then that I started drinking white wine. Insidiously poisonous. 

                                Anyway, I'm not going to start the home brew until I crack and go down to the shop for the vino collapso sometime. That'll be Friday probably. Maybe Thursday.
