Archers

So, another day mystery shopping but just the one on Saturday, for a new company added to my roster, and a drinks only visit to a pub owned by Brakspear. So i had a pint of Brakspear Bitter (3.4% ABV) to start with followed by a Sharp's Atlantic (4.2 % ABV). It was the only two real ales they had.

Before traveling i had a sneaky pint of the Dark Star Six Hop Ale (6.5 % ABV) at the Faversham micro pub.

I would rather be in a Wetherspoons pub though.




Weather was fine if still a bit chilly. Monday will be a busy trip selecting items from Iceland.

Note -i meant to post this last night when i got in and i did write it but fell asleep before i pressed the enter key to post, lol.

Sunday Musical Selection

Have not done a proper musical selection for awhile, so here are four fine tracks for Sunday.

Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories - Stay

Fleet Foxes - Ragged Wood

Their music despite sounding like folk with a twist of bluegrass,  is also heavily influenced by the beach Boys , in particular the vocal arrangements, and in the sleeve notes Warren does mention listening to Feel Flows as a kid.

Beach Boys - Feel Flows

And finally, one of my fave Daft Punk tracks to get you up and about!

Daft Punk - Around The World
