I'm struggling with the thought of Sheep sitting outside in just a shirt. A very powerful and erotic image. Sheep outside doesn’t compute at all. In my mind he’s a recluse, stuck in his library and covered in dust. |

RollingAachenI liked it. It was a smaller city than I expected. I was out near the ring road but it was less than a 5 minute stroll to the centre. It was nice and warm on Friday as well. I was able to sit outside a pub til nearly 9pm just wearing a shirt. Saturday was not so nice. Sitting outside a pub was not tempting in the slightest. I did go a nice brewpub, but it was more a restaurant than a pub. Also it was too hot. They had low level lights above every table giving out a fearsome heat I very much liked the cathedral. Though I couldn't help but notice they seemed to have got overexcited on towers, spires and domes and forgotten about the nave entirely. The treasury was pretty spectacular as well. Lille
I have been to Lille before several times. It is the best. I sat in the square and drank overpriced beer. Just one, as though a second was tempting so was the prospect of not sitting in a very cold wind. It was lovely in the sun. Junelike. Less Junelike in the shade when the wind blew. Your list of drinks is making me very thirsty. Sitting outside pubs in provincial European towns is the absolute best. When I went to Aachen they would not let us into the cathedral because they were practicing for some musical event in honour of the 1200th anniversary of the death of Charlemagne (a country-stealing imperialist of the first order, who probably does not deserve the honour) (or maybe they just wanted to celebrate the fact that he was still dead). The treasury was great, though - probably the best of that kind of thing I;ve been to. I also enjoyed Lille during my one visit which was in either 96 or 97. Simpler times. |

The 8 beers for €4.92 were a selection of the more expensive PGL beers they had I had heard of the brands, maybe even drunk them before.
They had some terrible looking stuff in plastic bottles.
I have no idea how cheap that was but the street drinkers seemed to like it.
I did go to a posh beer shop in Dortmund last year. About €1 a bottle. They did have a lot of posh beers, But I am thinking I may have been ripped off.

Killed it, stone dead. I assume everyone is out on the streets drinking cheap Euro-lager from plastic bottles.

I am aware of outside and visit it regularly to check it is ok.
Sekiro
I am advised my neighbour does have it.
I will rescue it shortly.
This may end my interactions with outside for the foreseeable future.

I feel that things are getting a little tense with regard to Brexit. Here's some relaxing yoga:

Fromage sur pain 'sourdough'.
The cheese is properly stinky.
I believe it is one of those you can't open carry on the Metro.

Hello all. I tried to do a quick trip up to Park Cameras. This "quick trip" eventually turned into an hour and forty five minute round trip. Oops.
Still, I've exchanged one lens for another one, and a teleconvertor to go on the end of it. I now have no money.

Hello! I’ve been on holiday. Courchevel. It was very pleasant, apart from the 4 hour delay. Still, it may be my last chance to get €250 back, so I can live with that. I had the same thing in November and basically got a free weekend in Berlin out of it.
Games! Elite. Obviously. I don’t have a problem but I should, perhaps, have picked a ship with a better jump range. I have found Bark Mounds. No, I don’t know either.
Other things that matter: We are so fucked, we are so fucked. F.U.C.D. I do, however, intend to have a glass or 3 of champagne on Friday evening to celebrate that we are not yet entirely fucked. It will also make room for more cheap emergency red.
At least ending FOM might improve the lot of the ordinary French trying to enjoy a quiet beer on a Saturday afternoon, sans l’undercarridge d’un mouton.

It was in Aachen where I was sat outside in shirt and jeans. Only in Amipal's enthusiastic fantasies was I pantless. F.O.M.UK-France-Belgium-Germany-France-Belgium-France-UK It is possible I crossed the Franco Belgian border more times than that. It is not always clear where it is north of Lille. There is at least one village where the border runs down the main street There was a 40 min queue at Calais at the UK checkpoint. They had two out of about 20 lanes open and were processing people incredibly slowly. I have never understood why UK Customs have always insisted on their right to be arseholes. They are consistently enthusiastic about it. |

I had brie on bread with Heatwave Doritos for lunch. And an Oreo doughnut.

An Oreo doughnut sounds like a crime against humanity.
I can't work out which would be worse an oreo that tastes like a doughnut or a doughnut that tastes like an oreo.
I've reported Baby to The Hague for both offences just to be on the safe side.

I hope Baby doesn't end up in a cell with Radovan Karadzic.
Poor old Rad. He doesn't deserve to be locked up with Baby.

By which I mean I’m colossally fat after a week in the alps. I can highly recommend both their Death and Symphonic playlists. |

I saw Bolt Thrower in the late '80s and really liked them, must say I'm not a great fan of Death Metal though there is something pure and innocent about the genre |
