Craig fae the Vale

Argyle Wanderers 0-1 Carron Thistle. Decent game in howling conditions. Argyle unlucky not to take something from the game.

Nonsense draw to pair Australia and South Korea while Taipei and the Philippines is one of the other games. Anyway, it's meant Australia are out. One of the favourites was always going out in that game, but the Aussies will be very disappointed. Currently got China v Vietnam on. Vietnam one up after 25 minutes despite having about 20% possession. Edit: and China equalise just after I type that. Can't see past them now.

Working tomorrow and therefore up at 6 so it'll just be the AFC Championship for me. In laws are 9ers fans, so I'm hoping to wake up to them having won, and looking forward to a good game between KC and the Bengals.

Another spectacular pale ale from Polly's.

Delightful sour from Vault City.

Burkina Faso one up on Tunisia. Should probably just have made it two there.

Similar to my thoughts on beer, I don't mind paying a bit more for something high quality. If I enjoy it in moderation it's not a huge expense for something really good and enjoyable.

Decent pilsner from Williams Brothers. Another one from the Beer52 box.

Yoker Athletic 3-3 Vale of Leven. An entertaining game at Holm Park but a sickener to lose a goal so late.

Yoker 3-3 Vale of Leven FT

Was in the latest Beer52 box.

Hopefully going to be able to get tickets for Netherlands v Sweden when the ticket portal reopens in "spring".

Decent session IPA from Fyne Ales.

Absolute howler from the Colombian keeper and it's 1-0 to Peru with 5 minutes left. I've been watching since half time and it's the first thing of note that's happened.

Friday night Overtone. One of the lowest ABV they've done, bit no less tasty. Very good as usual.

Vale of Leven 0-4 Benburb. Comprehensively beaten by the better side tonight. We move on and next week is a new game. Big shout out to the group of young Benburb fans who sang and drummed for the whole game. Showed their team fantastic support.

That's grounds for divorce.

Aye, I work in the Southside. I'll give It All Started Here a look, it's not too far away from me at all.

I had that one the last time they released it, it's an absolute cracker. They can do no wrong in my eyes.

Got this today. Can't wait to try it, it smells incredible.

The Ecuador keeper has just been sent off for nearly decapitating Cunha. Ridiculous attempt to clear the ball. Edit: both goalkeepers have now been sent off for almost identical challenges. This is absolutely bonkers. Brazil are down to nine. Another edit: Allison's red card downgraded to yellow by VAR. Ten a side, bonkers game.

At Night All Blood is Black by David Diop. Won the International Booker. I can see why. Absolutely beautifully written.

Finished two audiobooks today. Britt-Marie Was Here by Fredrik Backman. No one can make you care about their characters quite like Fredrik Backman. You care so much about every single person in every one of his books. This is another absolute triumph Star Wars: The High Republic - The Fallen Star by Claudia Gray. The best book in the High Republic series so far. Absolutely ruthless and sets up the future really well

I've got 1Q84 on Audible and planning on tackling it this year.

There's a Grain and Grind just up the road from my work and I didn't know they did packaged beans. I may go investigate on Thursday.
