On Saturday I staffed at the Nottingham Beer festival with the Young Camra lot, and I actually discovered that it’s a lot of fun.
You get a free half pint glass, a free t-shirt and 2.5 pints of free beer.
However as you have people asking “which is the best”, or “can I have a really hoppy one” of course you need to trial a small sample of all the beers 🙂
I ended up spending 5 hours behing the bar, hurt my legs from the bending up and down but did manage to get drunk.

An old application that I’ve been hunting for since I managed to destroy my old installation of Windows is Always On Top Maker.
It’s free, it’s simple and if you put a shortcut in the Startup folder it will always run.
Just a quick Ctrl+Alt+T will put a window on top of everything else.
Great for stuff like the BBC mini windows with the cricket scores.

The new season (7) of the West Wing began on Sunday in America, and having just watched the latest episode it’s great.
Was rather worried about the spoiler beginning, but in the end it doesn’t give too much away.
Looking forward to the next 21 episodes and discovering who will be the next President of the United States.

Having spent the week in Blackpool, me and Heather shot straight to Presthaven Sands in Prestatyn, North Wales to meet my brother. We spent Thursday and Friday there. The sand dunes were lovely and it was a chance to catch up with our sleep. We also managed a trip to Chester.
Then on Saturday morning we headed of to my Mum’s with Luke in the car, to go to Matt and Jane’s wedding in Dunstable and the reception at Whipsnade Zoo.
Finally on Sunday afternoon we drove back to Lincoln. All in all, we spent a week driving just under 700 miles. Luckily for both of us we’re insured on each others cars.
