I don’t often get out and about but last night a friend took me to a Wassailing at a local orchard. Nothing bothers her much so a good companion when you know your stroke symptoms are potentially going to make you an awkward companion. We sang songs around fire pits and I was talent spotted for a local choir as I hit a baritone note at the end of one of the Wassailing songs. I think I will join. Donation, spicy cider was on offer and I admit, I had three cups 
. She dropped me back home and I was feeling all spicy and lively, so contacted another friend and asked him to join me at one of the local pubs. It’s only a five minute walk from my house, so wasn’t too big a deal. When I got there, I was delighted to find they had stout (not Guinness but actual stout) on tap. I haven’t seen this in years, maybe about fifteen years here. I was in heaven so, iechyd da … here’s to getting out and about on occasion.
Great to see you having a little fun, @Rups
We survived, life ain’t over, baby blue.
keep on keepin on
(mind how you go)
And you looked like you enjoyed the stout. Never tried it or the Guinness you mention. But a late auntie always had a bottle of Guinness every night. I once took her 8 cans and her words were. Cans not bottles. They didn’t have bottles. It don’t taste the same from a can. Ok I’ll take them back home….No leave them I’ll drink them. But next time remember it’s bottles only 
She was a lovely person
Great to be getting out and about and enjoying a stout too. Cheers

Sounds like a great time was had. And the choir got a new recruit too.
I’m not overly keen on pale ales, so when I do have a tipple, I prefer a dark ale, porter or stout. I will tolerate Guinness draught but prefer their original stout, however, that is never on tap. I never drink lager.
Indeed, and I find I feel a bit like a dog being taken out for a walk when I get to treat myself with an outing.
I’m looking forward to joining a choir but I can’t remember which one she spoke of so I have a bit of internet searching to do.
