Busy Day Again
Nov. 4th, 2019 09:23 amBack to the grind or so they say. A busy day as I head towards Thanet. A few visits around Westwood Cross and then Canterbury and finally back here in Faversham.
Mostly all techy ones that pay reasonably well.
The weather is sunny if autumnally chilly.
Finished reading another book - so on target to reach the 100 by the end of the year!

During October Spoons had their beer festival (9th to 20th) and these were the beers (from a selection of 40) that I tried -
Hook Norton Steaming On 3.8 % ABV - a light golden session ale.
Arkells 3B 4.0 % ABV - a ruby coloured ale that I found disappointing and bland.
Cotleigh 40 Years 4.3 % ABV - a fruity pale ale.
Birrificio Argo Terzo Tempo 4.4 % ABV - Italian ale that has a creamy malty flavour to it. Very quaffable!
Belhaven Barn Dancer 4.5 % ABV - a Scottish brown ale of deliciousness!
Wadworth JD Boss Hog 4.7 % ABV - fruity spicy pale ale with grapefruit finish.
Brewster's Punk Is Dead 4.8 % ABV - hoppy amber fruity ale.
Alesmith Nut Brown 5.0 % ABV - from California this was a highlight. Malt, chocolate and toasty flavours in this smooth dark ale.
Greene King Ruby Abbott 5.2 % ABV - Ruby coloured rich malty ale.
Theakstons Old Peculiar 5.6 % ABV - Still one of my faves. Dark ruby beer with cherry and rich fruit overtones.
Ballistic Short Fuse 6.5 % ABV - from Queensland Australia, this strong golden IPA was my top fave beer! A complex fruit bowl of apricot, mango and pineapple notes in this solid bitter and well-hopped beer. Outstanding!
And there you go.

I have been listening to the Kate Bush album "Directors Cut" from 2011 which is basically a collection of tracks stripped away and reworked from the albums "The Sensual World" and "The Red Shoes" and by golly, it works; Old sounds cast anew in fresh foldings. Eleven tracks of one of our best avant-pop artists.
Kate Bush - Never Be Mine (Director's Cut 2011)
Wire gave it a great review in Jine 2011.
