Another Blog
I linked another blog to micro.blog today. It’s a self-hosted domain rather than one, like this, that I purchased through Micro.Blog itself. I had a little jiggery-pokers getting the DNS to propagate and play nicely, but once it settled down it was fine. You can find it at ianbmay.com. I’ll be a bit more political over there, but not a ranting nutcase (I hope). Here, I like to be laid back as much as possible. I’ve linked the other blog to Bluesky, whereas this one links to Mastadon.
Sun
It a sunny Saturday morning here. Rather chilly out though, currently only 42 degrees! I don’t think I’m the milkman’s best friend this morning, as I ordered 4 bags of compost, so I can get on with some gardening jobs. After all, we’re almost in April!

Having dinner with my wife and her two friends. They’ve all gone to the bog. Aah yes, two minutes of peace and quiet!
Then, a walk into Kingston. A smoky hot dog in from Kingston Market, and then a short walk to 7000 Jars of Beer. I had an American Amber to start and followed that with a DIPA from Cornwall.
The next port of call was the Canbury Arms, not far from the bus stop. A pint of Young’s Ordinary in there was the order of the day.

I then walked up to the top of the hill, and to my surprise the pub at the top was already had open at 10.30am! Well, it was thirsty work, all that uphill walking , so I had to have a pint. That’s my excuse. After that I walked to Petersham, and then took a 65 bus into Kingston.
After seeing my wife into work, next to the first coffee shop, I decided to head up river. I started walking along the river path, but then after a short while, I veered off to explore the Terrace Gardens, and I found a coffee shop in there, that I didn’t know existed! So, time for another coffee!
Ok. A coffee out this morning. It’s a chilly start but a nice sunny day with no rain in the forecast. The savoury bites looked good so I had this one which has spinach and goat cheese inside.
Then I shall do a little photo walking
Almost 6am on Saturday morning. The first of nine days off. Nothing concrete planned, let’s see what the day brings.
