I was going to make chicken satay and rice for dinner tonight, but this lethagy I just can't seem to shake off is having other ideas.
I think dinner instead will be a pot noodle and some more sake 🤣

Any other @britbeerwriters.bsky.social members sat at home with a drink waiting for the awards announcements on here rather than going out and being sociable?
Or is it just me? 🤣

I often wonder if there are people in the world of wine or whisky putting Oreos or breakfast cereal in those drinks and calling it modern and creative.

Today's level of laziness has got to the point where I'm now drinking sake because I couldn't be bothered to go downstairs to make a cup of tea, but did have the remains of a bottle of sake up here in the office 🤣

Seems everyone is off to the @britbeerwriters.bsky.social awards in London today, and even though some of my work is part of a shortlisted entry, I'm sat at home drinking tea 🤣
Might have to move onto the alcohol soon though. It's either that or go out and get some milk. 🤣

I wish I was surprised. Buried in this Budget is a plan to slash the Digital Services Tax, giving a multi-billion tax cut to US tech giants and the likes of Elon Musk.
That's right, cutting taxes for the world's richest man while hiking them for millions of hard-working Brits.

Tomorrow is the @britbeerwriters.bsky.social awards and I wish everyone nominated good luck! I have the absolute privilege as a previous gold winner to say winning prizes isn’t a gauge of how your work resonates - waking up every day and doing something creative is the real prize!

Grand opening, grand closing.
X quietly disabled a new feature that showed which country an account was posting from when it revealed that lots of popular right wing MAGA accounts were being run from foreign countries like India and Nigeria.

After being made redundant from my role back in October this is a heartening indication of the lasting impacts of my work and an insight for anyone wishing to take on a dynamic powerhouse of a colleague into their leadership team.

Fortnightly visit from my dad to check in on me and catch up.
"What's new then dad?"
"Nothing really, except your nephew's back in the mental ward."
"Sorry, what? Also, 'back'?"
So that was a weird chat :¬/

Okay, I've got a few, but any suggestions?
I feel like I should write a "Rules for Yuletide Drinking" article.
Not aimed at those who only "go out" in seasonal occasions, but at everyone who bemoans their pub being empty and wonders why without realising they might be the ones putting others off coming in more often.

Just a friendly reminder as we go into the holidays:
Folks don't have to explain to you why they don't drink.
If you offer them a drink and they decline, don't ask them why. It's not your business.
Just offer them something without alcohol to drink instead. And move on.

I'm getting tempted by the idea of getting a treadmill because I just don't get out to exercise at the moment.
Just thinking of one of those fold up ones, but I'm really not sure it's worth it, or if it'll end up not being used. :-/

He was looking for a soul to steal,
He was in a bind 'cause he was way behind,
