I'm slowly discovering that at 47 i can no longer drink like I used to.

Had a bit of a mini-reunion with old uni classmates last night.

Limited myself to four pints over four hours.

This morning I feel like I had 20.

Sad to hear Marcella Hazan died

Malthus ain't gonna be happy, I turn on bbc world news and they're interviewing his auntie, the first complete sentence I hear her say, presumably in reply to a question about inspiration/information sources is:

"My brother is a biologist, he sometimes tells me things, he thinks I might find interesting."

  Welp.  That was stupid.  Opening up a 12 pack, I split the little "lip" that holds the cans in when one is taken out while I was tearing open the dispenser end.  Pulled that fuckin thing off, grabbed the first one, and blam, 11 cans just rolled straight out onto the garage floor, including one that made it out onto the driveway and cruised off into the street.  So, I have 11 sodas now.

I hate it when the 24 pack falls apart when carrying it. Like a B-52 bomb run hitting a NVA formation.

Malthus does the same to us no?

He's writing 'Misogynists Are A Go' ?
