Get the home brew kit fired up......
Don't have the patience, plus I don't drink much these days. The three lagers in my fridge have been there since last year, the bitters in the cupboard are two years old.

Collected a large bagful of conkers a few weeks ago for Mrs Cat to take into school
The child in me still means I have the urge to pick them up, when I see freshly fallen, shiny chestnut brown conkers on the ground

Same here Cat, always played conkers in school, drill the hole for the string first, soak them in vinegar & bake them in the oven. Not that I took it seriously or anything
