Home sweet home


I am home from Egypt with a full on stomach bug. Haven’t eaten properly in days and am regularly griped by stomach cramps. Lovely. Holiday was AWESOME tho

Omg all the slugs and snails coming over the wall into my garden. It's like a massive onslaught of slime. 😳😳😳😢
So the most jarring thing about this Download festival were these Misguided advertising billboards. 1. What kind of sales job did the advertising team do on Misguided? Thousands of people will see your posters but they really really aren't your target audience (75% men, 99% not interested in cheap shitty clothes unless they have band logos on them, most of them spend summer holiday money on coming to Download and don't have cash for holidays or bikinis) 2. The cheap titillation looks really bizarre next to all the rock and metal band advertising. 3. It absolutely wrecks Download's usually very non-discrimanatory policies and behaviours - totally ruins the effect of fair toilet access, loads of female bands this year, and generally positive outlook for a diverse crowd. Total fail. 4. Takes us back to the 80s in making women look like we're just there for the male gaze and to be groupies. #dl2019 #downloadfestival2019 #browthiansatdownloadfest #livenation @downloadfest
Happy fathers day (well, he definitely looks happy in this one 😁😁😁). I'm in a mud pit in the UK and he's in Jo'burg complaining about the weather but we're still exchanging comedy WhatsApps (I still have more electricity in my tent than Eskom do 😂😂😂😳)
The bestest ever Download band @royalrepublic with their new concept of only needing 3 people to make a very efficient circle pit. More people = more circle pits ⭕⭕⭕⭕⭕😁😁😁💞💞💞💞 #browthiansatdownloadfest #downloadfestival2019 #dl2019
These currently making a rainy Download totally better. Thanks @morewineontap for the Quello! #Download #downloadfestival2019 #quello #wineinatin #wineinacan #wineisforeveryday
Trying to be serious about our cocktails. (they were lame, 1 x 25ml measure is not a cocktail)
When one is about to go out but one's hair is determined to be stuck in the 80s.
The night of Riesling (and syrah/grenache) but mainly Riesling ❤️😍❤️😍💕♥️💋💞🤘🤘On the WSET2 course with @averysbristol. #winr #bristol #riesling #syrah #shiraz
Tried out the pizza oven attachment for my weber. Not too bad, I think I've got a way to go. Main learnings, 1. More coal, more logs, make it hot and cook quicker, 2. Fresh dough, not defrosted dough, 3. Learn to use the metal thing properly. 4. Stone in to warm up before you cook, not too early tho as it blocks oxygen so the fire doesn't get hot enough. 5. Less toppings.
Could I eat anything else more fermented or smoked? Random picky dinner tonight. Might have some kombucha afterwards.

Back in time
