Late Life Crisis - September 2024

American Riviera Orchard. Literal me wondered where was this Orchard on a Riviera somewhere in America.

I was not getting it. Neither, it appeared, were the punters, with The Times reporting that five months after launch the Duchess of Sussex's lifestyle vehicle had yet to put any products (kitchenware; jellies; drinkware; jams) on the shelves.

Late Life Crisis - August 2024

I went to a party. Not unusual; the unusual part was that, as I needed a clear head for the following morning, over two plus hours my drinking comprised three 330ml. glasses of zero alcohol beer.

It felt good. It also looked ok, as no one was going to interrogate me as might have been so in my having eg a lime and soda. It also gave me a perspective on people slowly getting 'merry'. 

I should mention the taste of these beers. It's not that they taste like beer - they are beer, just with no alcohol.
