On Friday, I posted my post and went to the pub. I left my phone safely at home, and instead concerned myself with this delicious beer. After a few, we came home and I decided to check my email while Sarge brushed his teeth. There were lots of little yellow flags in my gmail inbox, and I discovered I’d been Freshly Pressed.

Number 10a and 10b on that 16 item list goes something like this: Read all the books I’ve left unread/people have thrown at me. Not buy another book for myself until the above item is checked off.
