Thoughts of a Bearded Gent – A Blog by Jodi Mullen

We’re off to Stockholm, Sweden for a weekend break in April. It’ll be my first time in Scandinavia and I can hardly wait!

I finally try Ardbeg Uigeadail and have an unexpected encounter with another new whisky, Port Charlotte An Turas Mor.

Strange records spotted in strange places. In this case, Bathory’s self-titled album in FOPP, Edinburgh.

Internet missing, presumed gone.

A follow-up to my previous post about the closure of Peckham’s in Bruntsfield and the opening of a Sainsbury’s in its place.

A live review of Pain of Salvation’s first headlining show in Scotland and debut performance with their new lineup at the Captain’s Rest in Glasgow on February 10 2012.

A slightly extended muse on the enigmatic Bowmore 12 Year Old in the second whisky update of 2012.

The Bruntsfield branch of Peckham’s deli in Edinburgh closed on 5th February 2012, to be replaced with a Sainsbury’s Local, of all things. Boo-urns.

This month I’ve lost 6kg, kept up my blogging resolution, tried some new whiskys, watched some great movies and read a few fantastic books.
