Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is....

Bishops finger it sounds rude but it's a real ale from Kent and it's just a nice drink for a summers evening.

Summer solstice

So it's summer solstice here today, and it's a blue sky day and very warm.

Farther day

Farther day or that should read furthers day, iPad and apples crap keyboard with no cursor keys why?

Football world up

It apparently the world up in Brazil, now I have to state here that I don't follow football as I think there is too much gamesmanship going on, when they start to referee it like rugby then it will be a game of skill and also a team game.

June

As it's June I suppose you should expect it to be warm and today that's just what we have had, and very nice it is to.

Drink of the day

Today there are two drinks of the day!

The first is Doombar and very nice easy drink it is.

The second drink of the day is Greene King IPA and it's also very nice and drunk cool it does just the job.

Sunshine

Lots and lots of sunshine today which was nice, sadly I did not see much of it.

Hot

So the weather people are saying that it could be rather hot today, which is what it's supposed to be at this time of year so this should not really be news.

Reading part 2

I know a part 2!

It's because I also have managed to read a book that I saw in hardback that I wanted to read but knew that I would have to wait for the paperback, and in this case it was worth the wait.

The book is by an author that I do happen to like and I have I think read most of the books that he has written, this is in one way good and in another way bad, the good because I have read an author, the bad is that he has not written that many books, but what he does write are in my mind worth reading.

The book that I have read in a week is by Bill Bryson and it's called One Summer America 1927 and it's just a great read about what happend in 1927 it's history but put in a way that's well just great to read, the expression page turner, well for me it was, could be said here.

Worth a look I enjoy Bill's writing and such is the skill in his writing that pages just fly by.

Reading part 1

So I have managed some how to do some reading of actual paper books as aposed from ebooks. One book that I have finally finished reading after some weeks is Seven Elements that changed the world by John Browne, what I did not like about this book was the politics in it even thought it's part of the story of how these seven elements have shaped the modern world.

I am to blame for not looking at the book more closely as I though it was going to talk more about the actual elements and not what humans have done with them.

The funny thing is the endnotes to the book I found more interesting than some of the text in the main chapters of the book, yeah go figure!

Worth a look if you don't mind the politics.

Drink of the day

The drink of the day today is IPA by Greene King not more to say other than it's nice.

Thunder storm

So the weather people having been saying for the last few days that Saturday expect a thunder storm or two.

So far?

One rumble of thunder in the distance and that's it!

Weather go figure.....

Training

Have to do some training which will mean I have to be away from home, as I have got older this is something I don't like. I don't like being apart from the wife, and being apart at night is even more painful.

Why ? I don't know the answer it just is.

June

June should be hot?

So it's no surprise that it's wet very wet....
