Mobile

 


Ever since my phone fell in the loo ( after I had just enjoyed a robust number two) it has not worked, very well. 
I bit the bullet and rang Tesco Mobile on Monday and the delightful Leanne organised me a new phone with various bells and whistles on it and a monthly tariff much lower than the one I had been enjoying.
She giggled when I told her to treat me as an idiot during her sales pitch 
And did exactly what I asked her.
I have been navigating my new phone today and I must say that
I’d rather be setting the parameters on an ITU ventilator for after four hours, my brain is totally fried and
I’ve had to recover my having a bubble hot bath with my face covered by a wet flannel.

I spoke to Nu today, she’s working on the covid wards now in London  
How do you do long days ? She asked
With difficulty I told her
We swapped laughs and reviews on tv programmes 
She looked tired.
I miss her.

I saw Pippa from the Rectory earlier today, she was being dragged down the lane by her long legged Mongrel, Meg.She only just managed a controlled stop in order to chat.
Her husband is probably enjoying the most cerebral covid pastimes she told me after the village gossip was over
He’s reading The Bible in Greek !

BrewDog

In the middle of a terrible pandemic we need some "good news" stories.  Down in London there's a groundbreaking craft brewery called "BrewDog". Founded by two Scottish fellows who are passionate about beer, the company has been tremendously successful, progressing in leaps and bounds. Of course  COVID-19 has thrown and unwelcome spanner in their works but still they are looking forward.

At the back end of last year BrewDog teamed up with Bosh! to produce a new alcohol-free vegan beer. I don't like commercial advertising in this blog but on this occasion I will make an exception...

An alcoholic version of the beer should be arriving before Easter and when it does appear I will be ordering several cartons. Getting hitched up with BrewDog is a hell of a coup for Bosh!. I guess that continuation of production will depend on sales and of course it's not too easy to promote new beers when all your usual outlets have been shut down by government restrictions. Fingers crossed, BrewDog/Bosh! beers will still be around with thriving sales after this unholy virus has been driven back into its cage.
