Day 93 - T minus 2

Another day has seen the end. Although the sun is still out as I write this, we have just returned from yet another and this time I hope the final shopping expedition. This was part two of the get everything and try and not forget anything otherwise you'll look a complete idiot on opening day shop. What a joy it was.

Once again accompanied by the loin fruit, only today one was less than enthusiastic about being there. That would be a polite way of saying he was quite the little shit actually. But it is over now. 

Tomorrow, I shall be on a training course the whole day, yes I know the timing is not exactly great but its one of those things, its a free course, it is certificated and although I have done it a life time ago it will be a good refresher for things to come.

Also today, about an hour ago, I tapped my first barrel in about 14 years. And as the bishop said to the actress, it went straight in! Things have modernised a bit since last I worked the cellar but since its all new to me I have gone back to the good old fashioned way of keeping beer. On Wednesday at about 5.30, we shall know if things have changed that much. I suspect they haven't.

My thoughts have been with those people in Norway, who must be suffering enormous national grief. Can you imagine if this happened at the holiday camp that your kid was at? Can you even imagine it happening in your hometown, or even country. The sense of grief must be palpable. That this killer was able to for what is reported as nearly two hours, kill indiscriminately. For two hours. Where were the heroes, where were the security. How did he get the guns and that much ammunition? Where was national intelligence. And all this in the name of anti Muslim ism! Are we really getting anywhere? Are the steps that will now be taken really going to make us even safer? You just know that this one persons action is going to be a pain in the ass for years to come. And then we'll get complacent and it will happen again. Fucked up world.

Final stages this side. The tarmac people that were supposed to start laying today didn't turn up. Tomorrow I'm told. The now almost clean interior of the pub is once again getting dirtier with drilling still going on. But it will be a great pub. You be the judge when you see the pics later this week.

Gotta go. Until tomorrow. Have a fab evening!
