Back home from two days in London. Got a bit of record shopping in early doors this morning. Picked up a good copy of ' in the mix' in Greenwich. Then, when in town popped into Phonica. Was Saturday busy, which is great to see.

Back on the Yonder. A whole can of Maple, Banana & Blueberry Pancake Pastry Sour to myself. Still amazed at the witchcraft that makes a 7% beer taste like a smoothie.

The better half surprised me yesterday. We were in the audience for the Last Leg. Josh and Alex hosted. They were great with the audience in the ad breaks. Hillsie turned up at the end. The magic of TV

Having a beer in Brewdog Seven Dials. Had a Polly's & Brewdog collab. A DIPA called Double Woof. Gave it 4, and it's has a nice bitter end with the fruity bosh. Polly's class shines through #bskybeer

The wife dragged me to Mumford and Sons at the O2 last night. Wasn't expecting it, but it was a great gig. They looked happy to be playing, and the crowd was jumping.

A damaging defeat for #Pompey, allowing a very average looking Swansea side to move 6 clear of them. A game of little attacking quality at either end of the pitch, 1 goal always likely to be enough. Concerning times

Watching Pompey tonight, we either need a big transfer window or a new manager, or we will be back in league one next season. We look like a team lost.

My now customery beer while on chef duties. This one by Pollys and it's an IPA called Everything Works Again. Gave it 4, and it's a great modern style IPA made with love and decent ingredients. I picked it up in Sainsbury's #bskybeer

Operation Christmas today.Everything out of the loft without being distracted by the vinyl. We have tree up and half done. Had a few mince pies & a couple of Bailey's. We were distracted by the footie. The game stops on the 12th minute due to a medical issue to a fan. Unfortunately, the fan passed.

Charlton v #Pompey match abandoned.
It was suspended in the 15th minute due to a medical emergency in the crowd in one of the home stands.
Our thoughts are with the fan who was stretchered away.

Do Nothing might've been the closest The Specials came to releasing a Christmas single, but this is their actual Christmas song www.youtube.com/watch?v=SBEu...
(Fun Fact: Blank Expression was the only song they performed without anyone dancing on stage. Most of the band would stand perfectly still)

Closing out the night with an imperial stout from Verdant.
Sour Cherry. It's a big liquorice edged stout. They do a straight up version I might look out.
This one has sour Cherry which is coming through nicely as it warms up a bit.
