Takes me 6 or 7 hours to brew, he got a lot done today !

I use a place called geterbrewed for my grain. They do a custom grain kit ,you can order the exact amount of grain, hops, yeast etc for each brew large or small.
Just ordered grain etc for an English/American crossover IPA I'm calling 'Lockdown '
The pic is a smash czech pilsner 4.6% o brewed recently.

Essential journeys only they keep announcing on the tube

Just started a late shift on the district line, we are doing 4hr stretch ,30 min break the back on for 4hrs.
Slightly pissed off there are tourists taking selfies and people travelling who are blatantly not key workers etc

Anyone need some hops ?
I've got whole cone Target and Phoenix
Frozen on day of picking.
Ideal for British styles.
Not the most exciting hops but I've brewed using them green and dried.
Collect from KT4

I've finally been told I can work from home ........

A couple of stations are closed due to lack of staff atm, Circle is running a ten minute service which is arguably better than usual. H and C 15 minute service.

I'm driving the district , never seen it this quiet in 22 years, not even 7/7

Hey guys,
Anybody needing beer for isolating or lockdown purposes in the Kingston area ?
I know the owner of Park Brewery, he said pretty much all his cask orders have been cancelled and the taproom will be closed.
He will be open for can sales, card only at the times listed below.
They are trying to sort out online deliveries asap.
Support a local business if you can...

Not the same school, I guess each school will develop it's own plan...

My daughter is a reception class teacher in Merton. She got this email yesterday...

My latest Pilsner has just carbonated, I won't go thirsty if I have to self isolate.

District line trains are now getting the handrails disinfected every other trip at Wimbledon now. Someone asked the cleaners how they would manage to clean the hanging straps as well, only to be met with a blank look !
If you've got to hold on use a hand rail not the straps and I wouldn't imagine the door buttons are getting a clean so use your elbow. I'm led to believe this will happen at all terminus stations, but the reality is there won't be enough layover time on some lines .

Tube is very quiet for the morning peak, no chance of sorting our pay deal if passenger numbers keep falling like this.

Urban myth maybe, but we regularly lift seats during training, Bakerloo were the worst I've seen, dead rat, a human turd and plenty of loose change were the highlights I've personally seen.🤢

Years ago a tube train seat was sent off for laboratory analysis.
Apart from the usual suspects i.e. all human bodily fluids, faeces ,skin, hair and rat urine/faeces. Metals, brake dust there were unidentified fungi found.
You lot worry about coronavirus yet every day you conduct your daily business on those seats .... eat, drink, lay on them etc......
Not me, our cabs are grubby enough thank you.

Yep ! I have actually seen someone sitting next to a seat on fire, get the hump when told to get off because I was taking the train out of service. Tbf was only a very small flame !
This is our latest advice for a person ill on a train......

Heard about that today in one of our office buildings, that's in addition to the driver story. Apparently the drivers daughter recently returned home from Rome and then the whole family developed symptoms.

Most of that is swirling around in the tunnels and stations already....

Latest regarding Tube driver.....

I work on the tube, heard a rumour this morning that a driver on the jubilee line was sent off to Hospital and a deep clean is taking place at his depot (Wembley park ). The rumour came from one of our reps who is considered to be hardworking and reliable. If I hear anything else I will pass it on...........

Inspired by a photo of a sky-penis created by a pilot, I thought I would create a cycle-cock on my commute home....

Times are hard at TFL......
