What happened on the second day of mb04 2026

It’s the little things, like 100 extra loyalty points if you don’t have your room cleaned. That will do for me.

The Knights Templar and the Commercial Rooms, and in the Commercial Rooms, virtual WhatsApp breakfast. There was the World Cup draw sweepstake, and coming out of the Commercial Rooms, I saw an air raid shelter tour. Went to the Barley Mow, and Gemini went down worldwide. You can’t trust these things; however, a blackberry raspberry grape Berliner Weisse—that’s what it’s all about.

Virtual WhatsApp Beanoing

A day of two Spoons, lots of coffee, and a virtual WhatsApp team meeting. I really do work with some exceptional people.

In the afternoon, the Barley Mow, a Bristol Beer Factory pub. Lots of cask and keg, some exceptional beers. Wow, this is turning into a magnificent Beano.

Quality Rolls and Crisps

October 2021. The last time I was in Bristol. Why did it take me so long to return? It has been a great day. New pubs, cheese and onion rolls, spring onion crisps, beef and onion crisps, and Three UK providing great bandwidth. What a cracking day.

The Project, Caerphilly, their birthday party. Lots of Vault City sours and, on the food front, barbecue chicken on skewers with dirty fries. The aircon was lovely. Hats off to The Project and Happy Birthday.

Saturday mornings, sunny Saturday mornings, and the heat wave is on. I have been out in the back garden planting strawberry plants and salad leaves. And now, something from oldi. The project of course later.
