My grand finale. An image I've dreamed of capturing ever since being a young boy in the 1960s. The iconic Horsehead Nebula. Taken 4 months since buying the SeestarS50 for the time, location and seeing conditions to be right.
Very happy with this. ๐๐๐ญ

I do love some Essex oysters ๐
This day October 20th (1845) Colchesterโs first oyster feast was attended by over 200 guests. Now held on the last Friday in October each year, the Mayor of Colchester hosted a grand civic Oyster Feast in the Moot Hall. We donโt have an image from 1845, this one from 2005.

So you now need an Explorer Pass - 99p a month - to access the previously free CAMRA Good Beer Guide Pubs Web Page - which replaced the previously free app?
Enshitification in action.
Back to the book.
Or maybe commit to Tim Tokens.

Beer O'Clock. Back home, pubs done and ignition module picked up. Avoided the rain which is a bonus. Back on the 6.6% ABV King Goblin today. Just right for warming the soul. Cheers ๐ป

Researchers have found that pubs introducing alcohol-free beer on draught have witnessed no loss in drink revenue, with the move also not cannibalising traditional alcoholic beer sales. thedrinksbusiness.com/2026/1โฆ

Although โBeowulfโ has been traditionally interpreted as meaning โbee-wolfโ (a kenning for bears) or beado-wulf (โwar-wolfโ), philologists & mythologists suggest Beowulfโs name (& early lineage) may draw from the Anglo-Saxon barley god, Beowaโฆ
Scholars have also compared Beowa to Byggvir, the grain/barley servant of the norse god Freyr in the Prose Edda, as both names are directly linked to words for barley (โbyggโ in old norse)

Morning. Feeling much better after a decent night's sleep I'm pleased to say. Miserable drizzly day ahead here for my Cask Marque visits in Wickford and Basildon. Also hope to pick up a new ignition module, finally, for the little Alfa to fit at some point. Have a good day ๐

The campaign follows the eternal quest to master the perfect beer slide across centuries of English history. From medieval taverns and Napoleonic warships through to Englandโs iconic 1966 World Cup victory and the present day, each attempt brings a new way for the beer to go wrong, before finally landing perfectly in a Greene King pub.

Alcohol is one of several factors that can limit microbial growth in beer. When little or no alcohol is present, other characteristics - including pH, carbonation, available nutrients and storage temperature - become particularly important in managing quality.
