As mentioned previously i an taking a day off after the longish day prior to this.I have a few things i need to do and in particular catch up with the news and arts in the weekend newspapers,Guardian and Observer, and finish off another paperback.

Last night i started watching the TV series of Constantine and caught up with the latest Dr.Who episode.

Tomorrow is our monthly lunch club so i will be looking forward to that as well. Then back to the slog on the Wednesday.

Meanwhile these are the recent book finds -

I did manage to read some newspapers but i was also distracted by some radio programs.In particularly one on beer and the brew masters that are female and new to the craft. Then there was the current series of The 3rd Degree quiz and one on book reviews.

Anyway,after awhile and listening to some music,i decided to have some brain candy and watched some episodes of The Big Bang Theory.

Women & Beer
Food Programme

BBC Radio 4

"Think beer. Think boys with beards? Think again. The last time Sheila Dillon reported on the women in British beer, in 2013, she met Sara Barton head brewer at Brewster's brewery in Lincolnshire. At the time Sara was the only woman head brewer in the country and women were drinking only a tenth of all the beer sold in the UK.

Today that figure has nearly tripled, Sara has become the first woman to be named 'Brewer of the Year' by the Guild of Beer Writers, and women all around the UK are turning to jobs in brewing.

And yet Sheila still prefers a glass of wine in the pub.

In this programme, beer sommelier Jane Peyton introduces Sheila to some of the most exciting beers being brewed by women brewers (or brewsters) in the country. Louise Mulroy and Lucy Stevenson, co-creators of podcast 'We Made a Beer' demystify the art of brewing. Chemical engineer-come-head brewer at London's award winning Wild Card brewery shares a one-off brew created by a group of brewers on International Women's Day. We hear from 'FEM.ALE' a British festival for all celebrating beer brewed by women. And Sheila asks if there is a biological reason she remains unconvinced by a pint of bitter."




I have tasted some Wild Card beers and they are very tasty!
