Just take a geotagged picture of the bench and they will (pretty much) do the rest.

They don't have any of the benches near me, so challenge accepted.

And so it begins!

Deep breath now...
Deeper, use that diaphragm...
Pack the air...
Ready?

OGGCAMP!!!!!!

You may now faint.

A slight case of over carbonation. No damage done a cloth can't soak up and the brewery are replacing all the cans without quibble.

If only all tests were this easy!

"Goldfinch" by "Black Isle". A light and sharp IPA that should cut through tonight's dinner of potatoes, sauerkraut and Leberkäse.

"Baron Rojo" Red Ale by "Birra and Blues" from Valencia in Spain.
Rather nice. Sort of like a malty lager, could image it going rather well with rabbit or similar.

Ways to not spend your evening:
Traipsing through a dark park looking for a random lost dog (not mine!) and approaching people to ask if they've seen it.

Ways to not spend you evening:

Never did find the wee sod, hope they found their home OK.

AWS/Intel apparently used this advert on Reddit recently.

Moving home is like living in a "SIDRAT", a reverse TARDIS. With all the boxes it's smaller on the inside than on the outside.

A quick wireless scan shows that we're the only people around here with a customised SSID. Am I the only geek on the street?
Oh gods.
The neighbours will keep asking me to fix their PCs and I barely know Windows any more!

Aaaaand we're back. Minor glitch with DynDNS picking up the local upstream LAN IP rather than the WAN IP but it's all working now.
Messy cables abound. Need clearance to knock holes in walls to pull cables to resolve that.

We spend the evening with Sugarsnap chocolates and Omnipollo Imperial stouts. A rather winning combination.
