Where I am today

[gaza the instructor]

I had an uncle. Kept mountain (mounting) Goats.

Geese like a bit of agro too, I was mauled by one on my way to the boat 2 days on the trot. It's hard for a fat lad to look cool and walk backwards and ward off a belligerent goose
My mate Moon had a cockerel that attacked anything that came into the farmyard. It got christend Attila the hen

[Easydrinker]

My piggies let it be known, 3 times a day, when I feed them, that if I should fall over while doing so, that they would try and eat me.
This does make off-loading them at an abattoir less of a tear-jerker later in the year.

Slept most of the day, nuff said.

[Easydrinker]

That sounds like a luxurious brew shed that you have there!
Has Mrs. gaza noticed that you are not in the house much yet?

Robert.

[gaza the instructor]

She brought my dinner in last night. Fed up with waiting I suppose.
But it was a good film.

You got one to Mash, now you know why I wanted the Recliner.
Watch a film on netflix prime or whatever and run the still
whilst sitting cumfy.

[Easydrinker]

I just wanted to let you folk know that there is another way than to be hiding in your brew shed.
Get your old lady/chap to move out!
It may seem like a harsh move, but it can also be very chillaxing!
You can then put your brew stuff where the F. you please, with no adverse comments.
75 litres of Rum wash in the bedroom, why not?
And after social distancing rules relax, the world is your oyster!
You have a shit load of booze to tempt a new partner.
Just sayin'.

Robert.

[Mash]

No hiding here and Gaz just needs a comfy seat, while he babysits one of those big old fashioned wet stills

[Jennysgin]

We're looking at getting another little shed to get all my brew clutter out of the kitchen

I think OH is beginning to get a bit annoyed with it all, despite the rum he's getting in return! Maybe need to speed up production again. I tend to get distracted

[Easydrinker]

I struggle to understand quite how a partaker of your endeavours objects to the making of it Jenny.
Does he use the kitchen for preparing most meals. or just a tidy freak?
I find that making indoors, and storing/aging in a shed, to offer the best of all worlds.

Robert.

[gaza the instructor]

Still in my chair!!

[Jennysgin]

I think clutter is beginning to make him twitch!

Not to worry, he'll just need to put up with it until we get the shed sorted

[Easydrinker]

Of course, you could always stop making him cheap booze.
Discover his preference?

I think doing it all in one place, comes up favorite for me. Saves time not walking and or lugging stuff backwards & forward.

[Jennysgin]

Robert.

Rum, always rum
He likes the product, just not the stuff all over the kitchen. To be fair there isn't really storage space for it.
Ach, it gives him something to moan about!

To be sure, carrying a crate of full bottles out to the shed is harder than carrying a few bottles the other way.
But who doesn't mind a short walk for a good drink?
And making in a shed, with, or without a gazza chair, is not usually as comfortable as doing it where you usually spend your time.
Unless of course there is someone else inhabiting the same space, that you wish to escape from-
Now, that is a good reason to brew in a shed!

I am sure that you are used to the moaning by now!
Water, ducks back.

The last year has really been a huge but mostly enjoyable learning curve, my latest lesson has been in how immersion heaters work. I took an aquarium immersion heater out of a wash and without thinking about it left it plugged placed on top of a plastic lid in my hallway till i could smell melting plastic and saw smoke coming from it, grabbed it to get it away from plastic and burnt fingers. Squawked and was told by Tango (the boy manchild) whlst shaking his head and rolling his eyes that it was trying to heat the hallway to 28 degrees and that I a total ditz, a disaster waiting to happen and needed to be watched - I think he remembers the time I set the entire bathroom on fire after leaving a candle on the side of a plastic bath, or maybe the time I set the bedside table on fire with a candle - candles now banned and extra fire alarms installed. On the up side I learned something new today

[Easydrinker]

In the nicest possible way, can I agree with Tango?
You do sound like a loveable ditz.
But if you learn from your calamities, then all is not wasted.
