20230617 mb08 Day 01 Wrap

18/06/2023 Leave a comment

When even if it rains, pre departure, you get the watering can out. My make your own Coffee stop off point was raining. The rain stopped and the tyre pressure warning light came on. They looked OK but I topped them off. Tesco for a Full Mid Welsh. Parked up in The Elephant and Castle, Fine Ales followed.

On to The Sportsman, a CAMRA / Wye Valley pub. Well kept ales and then the find of the day, The Brew Hut. Coffee, Cask, Kegs and Cans. Very friendly and very fast WiFi upload. Ales from 09:00, closed Mondays. Then my Anker charger failed.

Contactless Sunday

Pressure Warning Instead Of Coffee

It rained pre departure, it rained during the journey up and at my planned stop off to make some Coffee. When it stopped raining the tyre pressure warning came on. I stopped, the tyres were fine but it topped them off anyway. Newtown’s Tesco for a Full Mid Welsh. Parked up at the Elephant and Castle and into the local Spoons where I started on the Purple Moose.

ADSL #+ WiFi with a rather slow upload. Thinks improved greatly in the Sportsman but they have a limited cask selection of only two Wye Valley ales. However, they did have Salopian Beer Mats. The find of the day was the The Brew Hut, Coffee, Cask, Keg, Cans and Bottles. Fast uploads also. On the must revisit list, now.

The Elephant minus The Castle

mb08, starting in Wales, overnighting in Wales and finishing in Wales. A little rain pre start but I still got the watering can out. I planned on stopping, mid journey and having a Crusader II boiled coffee. However it was rainy and the the tyre pressure warning light came on. Stopped a little later when the rain slowed and pumped both fronts up. They were fine. By now the coffee window had gone. So, I cleaned the brake dust off my hands and some ferns and restarted my journey to Newtown. Full Mid Welsh in the local Tesco.

Another grey and cold morning with maybe a hint of damp in the air. Downloaded an update to Detail Duo and now I am trialling it. Both Spoons for the last day. Recording the WWDC Wrap. A gentle afternoon in The Pelican, discussing The Good Life.

And so it ends again

In a New Vision World

I think Vision Pro will slowly change computing, meanwhile in Gloucester it was grey and cool again. Grey and cold. Both Gloucester Spoons and an afternoon of Fine Ales in The Pelican Inn.

Not only a very cold wind but a rather grey sky until mid morning. Full English in the Beefeater with lots of darker, better cooked sausages. Detail Duo and a query on Discord. Great brewed on site Fine Ales at the Brewhouse and Kitchen but the WiFI is poor. A Superior Sour in Warehouse 4 where there is fine WiFi and there will be a Gloucester Oktoberfest 2023.

And then there was WWDC23. No M3 but updates to the Mac Studio and Mac Pro. Actionable Widgets and better Airdrop. Lots of opportunities for more Belkin accessories. The Vision Pro, very expensive but I think it’s the start of something very big.

Would be better with Vision Pro
