Chuffed to say I am the (second) best young writer in the country, according to a panel of experts including Dave from the Hairy Bikers. The guy who won my category was a professional sommelier and writer and wrote the tasting notes for the beers we had with the awards dinner (:thinking:), so I can think of myself as the best amateur. Blogging is for winners, kids!

Took today off to get my car sorted. Then I went out drinking last night and stayed out so late that I’m not going to be safe to drive until far too late to get that done. Great work, me.

I’m a bit hungover. Think it was the pub owner’s homemade plum moonshine that tipped me over the edge.

Tomorrow: off to Norwich to play Netrunner. Fingers crossed I see Graham Linehan again.

Sunday: no plans.

I met the lead singer of Low, and you met someone who knows a barman who has achieved Fenino Legend status! A good evening all round.
