Tweet Diary
By LoudTwitter00:45 Camping, hour 2: The ground is hard and the night is cold. Toby snoring, mummy inside with a poorly Will. Watching BSG and drinking whisky. #
00:52 I thought they’d be able to make the trains run over them on time RT @IndyPolitics: Tory MP in…suicide attempt… ind.pn/cQiAwf #
00:57 Kite Festival later. Am I the only one to keep getting its name confused with a Slowdive track? song.ly/2k4yc – Catch The Breeze/Wind #
02:39 A recent listen: Broken Social Scene – Me And My Hand bit.ly/aYL89l bit.ly/jrwifm #
08:54 What happened? I thought sleeping under canvas in summer meant waking with the, erm, lark. Toby’s *still* snoring. twitvid.com/MF46J #
08:56 @Kristianholt Nice, considering we’re basically lying on the ground coz we couldn’t inflate the bed! The lovely sunny morning helps, too! #
09:12 Oops, kite fail! RT @ericsstatue: It’s fair, the wind’s at 0 mph and the temperature is 11 °C Not a bad day – lovely really #
09:22 @TheWineyard Did they dim the lights and sing happy birthday? #
17:08 post.ly/k8ue – Countdown to #wineyardtasting. Not sure I’ll be ready for 7, though, got 3 litres of cider to get through first. #
18:20 @TheWineyard Yeah, it’s OK though, the kids are helping. #threelitres #
18:51 post.ly/k9Pm – Going for a quick spin on the uni so will miss the start, but will see what I can do while I’m out. #wineyardtasting #
20:47 I’m here & on the Orval. Think I’ve killed it serving it too cold, but I’m enjoying the light, floral, sparkling nose. #wineyardtasting #
20:51 Fragrance like honeysuckle at 8am after a showery summer night, but, my, it’s got some life! Spiciness enhanced by the fizz #wineyardtasting #
20:55 @TheWineyard Afraid it won’t have chance to warm up, so very drinkable I’ve nearly finished it. First drink syndrome #orval #wineyardtasting #
21:01 Getting the La Trappe Isid’ or out of the stupid, flavour-killing fridge now, to avoid disappointment later #wineyardtasting #latrappeisidor #
21:11 I need to get some tuneage on for #wineyardtasting and cooking curry. What goes well with #trappist tastings? How about bit.ly/aHL6cp #
21:51 This is a lovely thing, coppery colour and a rich, desserty feel with the fruit and caramel. S/thing else, just can’t place #wineyardtasting #
21:52 @TheWineyard You’d think it would taste more orangey then, wouldn’t you? #wineyardtasting #
22:02 I’m not getting complex flavours from isid’ or, but I am thoroughly enjoying the experience, it’s a very physical beer #wineyardtasting #
22:08 Just curious, Ben, how many packs did you sell, did you sell to any previously non-tweeps, how did you decide the schedule? #wineyardtasting #
22:12 La Trappe Isid’ or: 7.5/10 to match its ABV. I could drink it forever. Why not 10? Well, what truly deserves 10? #wineyardtasting #
23:25 Respec’ to tweeps who’ve made it through the entire #wineyardtasting alive and still tweeting sensible notes. Tired and tent bound, myself. #
