It's amazing what you find when you move into your old grandparents' old house with everything still in it.

A couple of days ago I opened a kitchen cupboard which I've hardly opened before. It was full of fine expensive china and also these:

The Istra is very old. I can tell that because it says "Product of Yugoslavia" on it. They used to go on holiday to Yugoslavia.

Royal Albert. Given away piece by piece, week by week at Safeway.

Did you come across a bottle of Avon Wild Country in a goose shaped bottle too?

You're right. It IS Royal Albert.

I don't have a bottle of Avon Wild Country, but I'm sure it'd go down a treat with some Coca-Cola or Irn Bru. 🥃

I like this Yorkshire beer. It's got orange peel and coriander in it:

And you blame being "chubby" on genetics?
I've always has a bit of a pot belly ever since I was at school. At Little Lever Secondary School whenever we were in the changing rooms for PE some of the other lads called me "pigeon chest."

One of the neat things about this is that someone down the road is going to have an awesome find.

It makes me want to do things like this so that years, decades etc from now, someone gets some excitement and attachment to the past.

1:15am, no work till Monday, playing on the Xbox with my selection of beers. I'm currently on the Guinness. I'm just on my way to explore the planet of Virmire on the edge of the Milky Way.
