The boy is finally asleep and my wife is out for the evening. Time for an imperial stout and to watch some ‘Dope Thief’ with my feet up.

Feels like a proper Christmassy winter day today, cold and misty outside, so it’s time to crack open some of the beers I’ve been saving for Christmas. First up a port barrel aged barley wine by Torrside. Can always trust Torrside to do a fantastic barrel aged beer. #Beer #BskyBeer

My afternoon has been spent putting up Christmas decorations, building Lego for my son, and drinking beer. Feels like Christmas now.

Picked these up myself, but trying to save them for closer to Christmas… 😬

Half way through that new Fantastic Four movie on Disney+ and it is one of the biggest piles of rubbish I have ever seen. Do I give up now or suffer to the end of the film?

Didn’t watch the game tonight. Had a kid free night so spent it with my wife drinking wine and cocktails. The scoreline looks good, but doesn’t the overall performance create any confidence with the fixtures ahead? #LFC

Just finished the ‘Spider Lily’ mission on Ghost of Yotei. What a great side story. The scenery, the background story to the character, the spooky setting. Plus the armour looks great too as a reward. #GhostofYotei

Haven’t ordered much from Brewser lately as I am not a fan of the new model. But I do think this particular set of Cloudwater beers was a good deal. Couldn’t pass up a box of DIPAs that also had a Barley Wine in.

Basketball. Beers. Jigsaw. Not a bad way to pass some time on a day off work when the weather is miserable.

My plan for the 2nd half seen as this game is pretty much finished.

Asked the boy what he wanted to do today. He said go play computer games at Power Up. Wasn’t going to complain at that, suits me perfectly.

Football was rubbish, weather is rubbish, the end of the weekend is here, and got another busy week ahead. Time for a beer, and this is a good one. 🍺

When your wife notices all the German beers in the fridge and wants some too. Should have bought two boxes! Things you do for marriage… #Beer
