Polyps, perhaps. Get them checked.

At the moment, I'm almost immobile - can't even get out into the garden.
Had a terrible reaction to a moisturiser which I have to use, and all the skin on both my legs is sloughing off (think dandruff an inch across - but dandruff that's bloody painful too). Waiting for the steroid cream to take effect now. Last time, it took a month, but then I had cellulitis. This time, at least, there is no infection.
It might explain why I am even grumpier than usual.
The beer situation is reasonably healthy - 30 large bottles of Tripel Karmeleit, 12 bottles of Straffe Quad, 10 bottles of Straffe Tripel, half a dozen Gulden Draaks, 4 dozen German beers (half Oktoberfests, half Doppelbocks), 2 dozen Tynt Meadow, about 100 assorted Belgians in 33 cl bottles and an order each from BIAB and Beers of Europe on the way.
If I pace myself, they might last the weekend.

It's a bit sad that you need a 10% imperial version of Jaipur to get it to taste anything like it used to and not the piss poor excuse for Jaipur you get in supermarkets, but this is excellent.
The TeKu glass is great too, it's just a shame I know I'll probably smash it at some point in the not too distant future!

To be honest you could probably drink a bucket full and still not know ?

?
The stuff I had was the pils not weissbeir.

I'll just turn the central heating up before I try it then. ??

I agree, any fruit beers are defo a hot day ale.

I'm very partial to the Innis & Gunn Blood Red Sky - again, a bargain at £6 for 4.
The Bacchus Kriek is good too, but like all fruit beers, I think they are better on a hot, sunny day. 

La Chouffe cherry makes a nice change.

If you like fruit beers, they have Boon Kriek in at 4 bottles for £6 at the moment.

Lovely beer - a bargain at £2.10 a bottle from Tesco.

It's good in a plastic cup, half-buried in the garden, to get rid of slugs.

You stick to coronavirus, I'll stick to duvelvirus.

I had an Icelandic porter a few months ag - Einstok?
ok, but unremarkable. I should like to get my hands on one of those Imperial Stouts from the article.

Thought I’d give one of these Duvel’s a go on @Eddies recommendation. 
 
Not too bad, a little gassy 

2 bottles for for the first 90 seconds to forget the 90 minutes that will follow. 

I presume that after the bottles of Karmeleit in the first half, you're going to make the pie last from half time until the final whistle.

Not tonight, but I've got 1st half, half time and 2nd half covered come Saturday.

A few there I've never had, but some utterly wonderful brews in there - especially the Vleteren 12 Oak Aged. I had my last one of those yesterday.  We've got a Gulden Draak Imperial Stout waiting for that first league win, so that'll be around Christmas at the current rate of progress. The Het Nest beers are awesome. If you like stouts (you do, that's obvious) try their "Dead Man's Hand". Blooming exquisite.

Another BIAB order, this time not leaning on any old favourites
 

I'm hoping to go to Brugge in August, and pay a few visits to the North Sea Beer Festival in Oostende.
Fingers crossed, of course.
Before then, we have a week booked in Mevagissey, Cornwall, in July - same place we went in 2019 and should have been going to this year.
