Garden – October 2019

27/10/2019 Leave a comment

Mostly mild but it finished with folding and the a frost. Goodbye Tomatoes and hello to already sprouting Summer Onions. The lawn looks nice and there are still some Strawberries. Garden to be dug and then nuked. No more weeds for this Autumn and all of new year. Not sure how healthy the Plum Tree is. Time will tell.

Strange Cheers

Post Oct-O-Bar 2019, still raining, still flooding. Newport, The Queens Hotel. Lots of cheering for England, possibly more than the All Blacks. The John Wallace Linton, more All Black Cheering. Too wet for for the Harbour Fish Bar, so off to the chippy next to the leaking Bus Station roof. Tiny Rebel has new staff. Confused that you get a glass with a can.

Oct-O-Bar 2019

It’s the end of October 2019 and it was time for Oct-O-Bar 2019 at The Otley Arms in Treforest. It rained a lot and there was flooding. However the Ales were Fine and they were all cask. CAMRA members turned out too. Good times and Mary showed up too.

Darker, Colder and GMT

The last day of British Summer Time. Colder, darker, wetter and 10.5 TOG. Oct-O-Bar at the Otley and more Onion planting #SaturdayWrap

Right Way Up

Well there was a workaround but mmm umm. Bridgend on the train. The penultimate day of The Spoons Autumn Real Ale Festival. Meeting up with one that then became two. Ended up in The Coach where their micro brewery ales were rather good. Chips and a sausage in batter too.

On The Train, In The Rain

I hoping that I won’t be upside down this week. A workaround but no real answer. More updates of everything. What happens when your mobile network goes down and #RWC2019 and The Spoons Autumn Beer Fest #SaturdayWrap

Bug Logging Day

The Spoons Autumn Real Ale Festival is roughly at the same time as major software houses upgrade time. That’s why the #SaturdayWrap (live from The Queens Hotel – Newport) is upside down. So that’s why it’s Bug Logging Time. It was a double chips day and I got grassy in The Pen & Wig. Rained.

Christmas Started Here

Oktoberfest 2019 is over for me. Gloucester again next year? 3 days off and the countdown to Christmas started. MacOS Catalina, I holding off. Overcast fixes iOS 13 bugs. Spoons Autumn Beer Fest and the rain doesn’t stop #SaturdayWrap

Could be upside down (again)

Stillage Fest

A sign of old age no doubt but it was just Caerphilly on the last day of my leave. It was also the first day of the Wetherspoon’s Autumn Real Ale Festival. The Malcolm Uphill has all 40 Ales and six on Stillage. Good times.

Missing Dingle Road

When your train doesn’t stop at Dingle Road it’s no biggy. However if it means you miss a Mini Chiefs Meet Up then it is. However Bacon & Coffee in Costa make up for it. Still no Spoons Beer Fest Ales but some quality brews anyway. The Crafty Cellar, Golden Lion and Bottle Shop all came up strong.
