Just the greatest thread. Singlehandedly saves Bluesky plus dinner sorted. 🥓

The Vega. In the name of all things holy. Accidentally had a pint of it. Mind blown. 🙏🏻 @thornbridge.bsky.social & @handbrewco.bsky.social

In Penge tonight doing some readings from the new book at Southey Brewing Taproom and I found these holy relics. We go back a long way with these guys! Join us for a pint and natter from 7pm.

In Blackheath tonight at the wonderful @thegreengoddesspub.bsky.social

Join @vincerai.bsky.social and I as we go boatpubbing in Greenwich and Deptford. Still feeling a bit seasick, tbh. Or is it just hungover?

An afternoon recording the latest @deserterblog.bsky.social podcast. Working at full capacity.

Looking forward to returning to waterintobeer tomorrow for books & beers.

Think the caption was underrated, even if I say so myself.

Worlds collide, tonight at 7.

Vinny doing the reading while I slurp the vino. Just how I like it.

Looking forward to this on Friday. Anspach & Hobday have kindly provided a barrel of their excellent Hop Picker’s Pale which we’re gonna dole out, gratis. Get there early before @vincerai.bsky.social and I neck the lot!

I don't know what they are but this is precisely why we needed Brexit. Why on earth are we sending them abroad? English mussels for the English. www.theguardian.com/business/202...
