And so the weekend begins… cheers!
Food and Drink
Oh my. These were absolutely delicious. Will definitely be getting some more…
I didn’t need a snack after my chicken salad. But I didn’t not need one either.
At the very lovely Club Soda to sample some alcohol-free drinks (and shelter from the hordes of tourists in Covent Garden).
Starting with a pint of the delicious Lucky Saint to quench my thirst.
Today’s missions:
- Finish this delicious, life-giving coffee ☕️
- Go out for a run by the river 🏃♂️
- Meet a friend to sample delicious alcohol-free beers 🍻
I’m very, very full of delicious homemade Mexican food, courtesy of my friend.
He’s a really excellent cook and invited us to his new apartment for dinner. A meat and bean soup, chicken mole and a flan for desert. We’re all having a lie down on the sofa to recover. Feels like Christmas Day.
This arrived last night…
I can’t wait to try out all the air fryer recipes I’ve been researching for the last few weeks. Looks like a great way to prepare a quick, healthy meal for two without using an entire oven or a ton of cookware. As long as it’s not used for wall-to-wall preparation of french fries!
Stay tuned for some air fryer updates as I wrestle with learning how to use yet another domestic device.
An overwhelming plethora of choice... 🍺

After walking past it several times over the last few months, I finally paid a visit to the Craft Beer Company in Limehouse. I only had time for a quick pitstop, and a half pint of IPA, but I’m so glad I went. To say they have a choice of beers is quite the understatement. Their drinks menu is impressive and organised into a small ring-bound folder placed on each table - pages and pages of craft beers, gins, whiskeys and other assorted drinks.Relaxing with an alcohol-free beer from Asahi.
This is incredibly tasty and crisp. And at just £4 for four cans, a bit of a bargain. I’ll definitely be getting it again.
The theme for this morning’s writing sprint…
Lunchtime burger and a beer at my local BrewDog. The chicken burger is to die for.
Easing into the weekend…
Spotted in a local restaurant, here in Canary Wharf.
There’s a guy on the DLR platform next to meet eating a Gregg’s sausage roll for breakfast. And I am SO jealous.
A quick pint in the local on the way home from work. Sunshine, beer and excellent chats. All good.
Bought a case of this last weekend and it arrived this morning!

It was, for a long time, my favourite Brewdog beer. But it was only available on British Airways flights, so I could only drink it while airborne! The luxury… Now it’s on general release and I couldn’t wait to snap some up. And I can say with confidence that it tastes just as good as it did when I had it on a plane. Which is just as well, as I have another 47 cans of the stuff to get through…
