My back aches considerably, but I’ve made further progress with the shed. The light was fading by the time I’d finished for the day, though, so the picture doesn’t do it justice.
Oh, and I’ve now gotten around to adding some pictures of my previous attempt to make the shed usable.
Even though I’d not recovered from moving a huge amount of firewood the other day, I began plastering the shed the sodhouse bank brewery today. I may do more tomorrow. Or another day.
As a result of an error, four tons of firewood was delivered today.
We did manage to accommodate it all though. But only just.
So, we’re almost prepared for self sufficiency in the event of a zombie apocalypse. Or other, more plausible, disaster. All that remains is to complete work on the shed brewery.
Highly recommended … Anarchy, smoked saison. Delicious.

I’m really not a morning person. I really don’t do mornings very well. Or Mondays. I don’t cope terribly well with those either.
And my post beer ickiness isn’t helping at all today.
This afternoon involved a trip to craft beer calling, at the Boilershop in town.
And very nice it was too.
My second in command cooked breakfast for Mr Bean the other day. I won’t say more than that because everyone deserves some privacy.
And this afternoon I bought a really nice bean salad from M&S at Kings Cross.
It was so nice, I consumed it too quickly. Soon afterwards, I developed a tickly cough, which returned back to the Northeast with me.
My second in command met me off the train and, after an (draught) Erdinger in the Union Rooms, we called off at the Tuns. Unfortunately for my second in command, our local have a pretty nice dunkel wheat beer on draught (interestingly, from Tyne Bank, who generally add fish bits).
So now we’re home. And I’m quite drunk. But I have food in the oven and about to watch part three of the German series I’ve been watching on Netflix. It’s subtitled, but I can recognise some words from my days of playing Command and Conquer.
Anyway, while in the Tuns, I began coughing again. Which resulted in the dislodgement of a bean which had been stuck there for some time.
I’ve not coughed since. And the bean tasted nice the second time around.
It’s messy and doesn’t smell nice, but hopefully it’ll be worth the effort. Ideally, I’d like to finish before the weather gets too bad, but I’m not going to rush.
Started work on the shed the other day. I fear that progress will be slow.
I did actually get a little further than this, but I couldn’t take a picture because I was covered in black gunk (damp proofing).
