I once dropped a demijohn on the kitchen floor, can’t remember what was making, maybe a high alcohol kit or something because it was full of activated carbon!!!!

Took a few mops until I could see the floor again.

I’ve just finished clearing out my garage, old wall cupboards removed, new workbench made, lots of old crap thrown away, also found a cornie keg of neutral strip at 55%

Now it’s in the boiler, 35 litres at 30% :)

Time to get going again, for some reason I never seem to brew/still in the first half of the summer!

Getting packed for our week away in Dalavich, we have booked a log cabin on the shores of Loch Awe. It has a veranda with hot tub, overlooking the Loch, which is only 30mtrs from the shore and there is a pub 200Mtrs up the track.
The cabin has no phone or internet signal, so just relax, drink eat and fish.

I think you're correct ED...I've had two friends try to join but can't because of problems with the site. We need to come up with a survival plan very quick, before the site is closed for whatever reason.

If there is a problem with the site what can be done to rectify it, or is there any one we can get to help with the problem.

Sadly the only person empowered to remedy the site's problems is the site owner and he is AWOL, maybe even MIA.
We can live in hope or say goodbye.

For the last couple of weeks I have been catching up on the endings to various movies, watched, but "missed" due to being online here, reading and responding in the recent past.
Movies and forum are caught up.
Normal service is overdue....

Today I logged in, anticipating something new to read.
Nothing.
Sad, innit?

Even I try to have a peek a couple of times a week, but often don't have time to comment etc.

I just don't seem to have the time to spare that I used too, and for the life of me, I can't work out what's occupying my time............

That said, I do think I'm in a rut. Work, eat, sleep, and repeat. So at least today was a bit of a lay-in (till 7 - hoorah the luxury of it)...........
