Since re-starting Sotonians in 2015 I have felt utterly supported throughout 
Nope, you’re not, it’s an abomination…

It’s surprisingly drinkable for those to whom the pleasures of alcohol have been heartlessly denied.
Watch this space for further updates. You can consider this my personal retaliation for the ceaseless flow of booze related information on this site, and references to the pleasures of imbibing it.

It’s effectively no alcohol. They put it down as “no more than…” because very few drinks can guarantee zero alcohol, fruit juice being a prime example. Orange juice can be 2% abv if it’s left out of the fridge for a few hours.
That explains the hangover.

Was supposed to be working today but the boss let me ‘work from home’ which meant I only had a couple of hours of stuff to do.
Went out for a 30k ride which is the furthest I’ve been since my shoulder went back last year. FIngers going a bit numb is disconcerting but so fantastic to get the heart moving again.
Lots of people out and about in Winch today. Lots of cars on the roads too. Feels like we’re letting this isolation thing slip a bit.
Was going to have an evening at the virtual pub with my mate in Munich but he’s blown me out. So popcorn and a movie on the sofa with Mrs Bletch will be a good end to the day.

Supposed to be starting two weeks of half-term but the school will be staying open.
I’ll still be in albeit on very shift pattern as we won’t have all of the kids in.
Could have really done with a complete break but wasn’t to be. Then again, my normal half-term hobby of catching up with mates and getting slaughtered isn’t possible with the pubs shut. So I guess I’m not missing out too much. I’ll just have to drink at home and go to work pissed instead. Not.

My contact less didn’t work for several days about 2 weeks ago. 
I need a break from this all too. Looking forward to easter weekend for 4 days of no logging on to my work laptop.
Had an email yday re our flights to Berlin end of May. Cancelled but then rebooked on to another flight that day. Still no update on the Frank Turner fest being cancelled (surely it will) to be able to sort it all out.

Just had a 2hour+ houseparty laugh with loads of mates from all over the UK. Top work. A bit pissed.
Luckily we all have teenagers to make the tech work. Happy days x

Getting our “trying to get Glastonbury tickets” vibe when trying to get on Ocado site. We are in guys! Probably can only order for early 2021.
Edit - no slots at all. Making us wait showing the number people going down in the queue. So will have to venture out later.
