    While waiting for Phil and Sheila, who will pay us a visit next summer, I realised I will run out of porter well ahead of their visit. This is unheard of, as Phil is a great lover of porter. I immediately started planning making a new one. Porter is a dark style, top fermented beer developed in London long time ago. The name was first recorded in the 18th century, and is thought to come from its popularity with street and river porters, who carried objects for others.

About

This is the blog of the every day life of a humble, reasonably happy elderly, retired man, also known as a grumpy old git.

The blog was started for 2 reasons.  First, my missus claims I’m starting to be forgetful.  Keeping a blog will make it easier to remember.  Second, as I keep the blog on my own server, it will help me staying closer to my old profession.

The blog will be updated at random, sometimes daily, sometimes not, just when I feel for it.

After a long time of considerations, I have abandoned the idea of having a multi language blog.  This simply takes to much time and effort.  Translation is now based on Google translate, not foolproof, but will give you an idea of what it’s all about.   The blog is mainly meant for my English speaking friends, and therefore the posts are written in English.  However, feel free to comment in any language
