This has been a bit of a battle, lesson learned - look after the yeast. After some TLC and pitching fresh yeast, things are looking up.

Lime Mead started a couple of days ago, after a slight (major) cock-up on my part. Against all logic, I pitched the yeast into wort that really was too cold and somehow thought it would be OK.

Discovered, and fell in love with, reusable HTML components. However, I didn't pay sufficient heed to the website structure and found myself in a mess. Nested directories may be great for organising files, but a nightmare when calling components with relative file paths. I ended up with so many different versions depending on how deeply nested the calling file was.
Problem solved - I flattened the directory structure, with help from a Visual Studio Code extension which identifies broken links.
Key learning for a newbie - the file structure doesn't need to mirror the menu structure.

A small, but satisfying project. Kegging with SodaStream, annoying cylinders. Great for CO2, but always seem to be in the way and never stay where they’re put. Plus I’m paranoid about dropping one.

https://www.retiredparamedic.co.uk updated and live. Nothing special, more of an index for my 2024 photos at the moment, but it will grow. Just need to stick with HTML (etc) rather than mess around with overly-complicated CMS systems.
Early stages, definitely still work in progress.

Trying to build up some enthusiasm for sorting out the Christmas tree. Is it really a year since we went through this ritual?
I feel the need for Wallace, Gromit and alcohol.

Frustrating waste of an evening. I’d binned my #wordpress installation and reinstalled #Joomla, hoping to reinstall a previous Akeeba backup. No amount of tweaking could get Kickstart to connect with the new database, I was obviously doing something wrong, but it wasn’t obvious. Another tick for the #smallweb .

Back into the home brewing, but the garage (brewery) isn’t what it used to be. Time to clear out the garden shed, making room for some of the crap out of the garage - get the brewery back. Tomorrow will tell.
