mb03 2024 Unplugged

Well, the change of hardware worked even if the result is slight soft. However, this time I will be able to generate subtitles. 

The on check in video is missing, if for no other reason than I forgot. Updates on the weather and The Orange Tree and Beer in Hand.

Post Hereford Beer House Saturday afternoon and pre departure from Hereford. A Great Beano.

Looking out of the window in the Travelodge to see the cars in the carpark covered in frost. Not a good sight. Standard Costa breakfast. Test Transcriptionist in The Kings Fee and boy does it have an odd UI. The Beer House was full of Cloudwater Birthday Ales and newly arrived merch. I purchased both. A cold and frosty departure.

With hotwater bottles for the frost

The New Merch

A cold and frosty start to the day. Costa and then The Kings Fee. Big Queues and a fallback to Doombar. The Beer House and lots of new Merch and Cloudwater 9th Birthday Ales. I certainly need more days in Hereford in 2024.

Lots of new merch

Starting with an icy roof on the car, then mist in Trethomas and finally semi sunny entering Hereford. As I got out of the car in the Travelodge carpark it started to rain. Sainsbury, then a Coffee in Costa and the standard Cask Ale and filled rolls in The Orange Tree.

It got very Pubby in the Beer In Hand with experimental hops and lots of dogs. I need to visit it more.

And then it froze

But nothing on the roads, as it should be. Of course, no rain until I got out of the car in Hereford. Extended lunch in The Orange Tree. Casks Ales and filled rolls. Check in to the Travelodge and then it’s over to the Beer in Hand. For the first time since August 2021. A very Pubby and Dog friendly Micro and only really a Micro because of the Micro opening hours.

Experimental Hops

In a week of rain and now rain and cold. It’s only Beanos that keep me going. The A40 eastbound has now reopened, albeit just one lane. A later start means, travelling in daylight and not really missing out on much.

Big roadworks in Monmouth but no one seemed to be working. Dry until I parked up in Hereford and then it started to rain.  Sainsbury, Costa and Cask Ale and Filled Rolls in The Orange Tree.  All going to plan. 

It was cold

Now in 1080p but still with bad lighting and drunken presentation. Odds and sods from #mb02 2024. The back to Portishead Beano.  Faulty apps and WiFi.

Slightly better Webcam

Logged the WiFi with reception and they are phoning it in. Changing my Discord email address which involves changing a name of an inbox to match the address I gave to Discord. Trying the Squarespace app on the iPad Pro and it works in different way but its still buggy as hell. Going on the cans in the Posset Cup.

Going to blog about my Premier Inn All You Can East Full English. The walk to The Port Bar was sunny but a bit blowy. The Ales very well made. There was a Glass and it had bubbles. The Siren’s Calling was full of dogs and a nearby spillage.

Another Beano is over

Could Spring Be Just Around The Corner

The rain was finished by 08:00 and the Yellow Rain Warning was cancelled soon after. Cans, not Cask in The Posset Cupas the limited selection was the same as yesterday.

The walk to The Port Bar, which opened at 10:00 was rather pleasant. Sunny but a bit windy. The Ales, well, were very well made.

The Siren’s Call with the hot nearly Spring Sun and dogs that weren’t friends. There was spillage but it wasn’t mine.

Yes, those bubbles!
