Friends and Shattered Glass

We spent yesterday evening with Best Man and his family at a local hostelry. There was a Real Ale and Cider Festival going on. There is some really good stuff here from local brewers throughout South Wales, the Forest of Dean and Bristol. I can highly recommend Trafalgar and Old Freddie Walker, if you come across them. Be warned they are 6% and 7.2% respectively and Freddie has a rich fruity flavour but are excellent ales.

Best Man has managed to find some sub-editing work for a local free mag that they can let him do once a month. The good thing is that he can do this from home or anywhere else that has internet access. With this and his Belgian freelance work it helps to keep him going.

He seemed a lot better thanb previously but still down. His dad, however, was far more like his old self and kept us regaled with stories and assorted facts.

I must get FW to watch more films and read more politics as she probably felt left out on a few occasions. Its always hard when you are getting to know other people's friends, especially if you've known them for most of your life.

This morning we were awaoken at 05:30hrs. I know, I'd forgotten that there's a 05:30 in the morning too. There was much shouting as someone was trying to find someone else in the flats. Then we heard the sound of breaking glass and FW had to call The Plod.

Thankfully things quietened down very quickly and The Plod were very quick to respond. We know that someone was carted off but we don't know who.
