Thanks for clearing that up for me, bro! Hope you're well, today.

When I used to brew my own beer it would usually be at least four weeks before it was ready...

I'm just happy to see that people were able to identify it from a black and white photograph. Another common name, at least in England, for it is woodbine. The word bine is an English word (hardly ever used nowadays) that the Merriam-Webster dictionary defines as: "a twining stem or flexible shoot (as of the hop) also : a plant (such as woodbine) whose shoots are bines." When i was a child there was a popular brand of cigarette known as Wild Woodbine (or more commonly just as Woodbine) which featured drawings of the woodbine plant on the packaging. The Irish name for the honeysuckle is táthfhéithleann. I'm not sure what that compound word literally translates to in English. Both my Irish/English dictionary and Google Translate simply translate it to honeysuckle, but Google Translate does offer Hypertension if I capitalise the first letter of the Irish word...

So here's my week 11 offering in my challenge to take and upload a new black and white photo each week for 52 weeks... It's a wild flower growing in the hedge in my garden. Not going to say what it is, until I've given you all a chance to try to identify it...

You're making beer?

That could be interpreted in so many different ways...

Happy birthday, Val! 🍰🍸

Hi, Page. (Sorry for the delayed reply. I was out socialising with a close friend this evening.)

Hi, young Albert.

Hi, Gary!

Fresh back from the appointment. Consultant generally happy, so that's good news.

G'night, bro.

Fallen angels more likely in my case... Thanks, Albert. Hospital appointment in the morning. A vascular checkup for my legs, that got postponed due to the pandemic. Fresh out of the bath. Drinking my cocoa.

And it's almost time for me to say g'night.

Hi, Timothy.

Hi, Page!

Mornin', bro.

Greetings, young Albert!

Unless you have a very large glass....

Or even better: whiskey. (Irish whiskey has a much less harsh taste than Scotch whisky, so shouldn't aggravate that ticklish throat as much.)

Hi, Page.

G'day, young man.

Afternoon, Gary.

Temperature's actually dropped here by a few degrees, and also turned a little showery. They are forecasting the temp to get back up to around 20°C (68°F) by the weekend, although there could still be a few showers. I've some cabbage seedlings to plant out, but I spent most of the morning carrying bags of stuff from one house to another. The transplanting can wait till the evening.

Sounds like the sort of thing wee Drew would do...
