In An Oktoberfest Hat

05/10/2019 Leave a comment

Day 01 of The Gloucester Brewery’s Oktoberfest 2019. It rained a bit but we are are good in the rain. I was given a free Oktoberfest hat. The Ales were Fine and the excellent guy with the guitar from last year was back again. There was a burger and a German sausage. Tomorrow looks rather good as well.

The Chicken Sandwiches (Tescos) left in the car. Almost no podcasts, always get a case. Drinking Club memebers and leaving doors open. Rhubarb Custard Milkshake Ipad and Fine Ales are Fine Ales.

Markdown Curry Thursday

The practice day for #MB14 the Gloucester Brewery Oktoberfest. Suffering from lack of Motorway lights, computer systems that don’t talk and smokers that don’t close doors. However, some rather different Fine Ales, MacSparky’s Markdown guide and some Topcashback cashback. All ready for some Fine German Oktoberfest Ales tomorrow. It’s a drizzly end to the day.

#mb14 – Day 01 – The Start

03/10/2019 Leave a comment

I don’t want to start off by moaning but it’s mostly what I do. However the cool almost coldness of Autumn is off the list as I rather like it. Driving north on the M5, why aren’t the junctions and entrances to service lit up. It’s very easy to go straight past them with the attendant chance of an accident. When you check in online to Premier Inn you give them your car registration number, then when you park in the car park of Gloucester Quays you have to register your car so they don’t fine you £85. Two different computer systems not talking to each other, great. However the Costa Coffee next to the Premier Inn, excellent and is The Regal (Spoons) in the City Centre.

Garden – September 2019

29/09/2019 Leave a comment

The middle of the month had a week of Full On Indian Summer and it was all rather good. Strawberries, lettuce, tomatoes and onions all fro the garden. But since then it has rained and rained with the lettuce pot flooding. A quick in and out to get the video before the rains started again. Clearing the weeds and digging the left over potatoes start next week/month.

Replacement Can Half Saturday

29/09/2019 Leave a comment

The Indian Summer has gone, it’s getting dark in the mornings and the rain, well the rain, it doesn’t stop. Also as it’s the end of the month, times are getting hard. So it’s only a half day in Caerphilly and an emergency Autumn haircut. The replacement for the Sixpoint cans have arrived in Wetherspoons. One from BrewDog and the other from Oakham Ales. They are not bad but I preferred the Sixpoint Ales. It was a Cloud Burst day and I was home for One.

A week of Buggy Software and Weather Warnings

Saturday Wrap – 28 September 2019

The Indian Summer has ended and it’s been a week of wind, rain and weather warnings. A sweet Pixel 3a Android 10 upgrade. Buggy Android, Windows, iOS and iPadOS software this week and why software companies should concentrate more on quality than quantity of software. The Rugby World Cup 2019 and it’s effect on Pubs and beer. Live from The Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly #SaturdayWrap

The International Rainbow Project 2019

22/09/2019 Leave a comment

The last Beer House Beano of Summer or Indian Summer 2019 #mb13. A dark journey in, cool to start and then it got up to 24c, the Beer House Front Door was wide open. The star of the day was The International Rainbow Project 2019. UK and USA brewers producing some wonderful ales and the pump clips are all the colours of the rainbow. Going to put that down for a revisit next day. Good times that pass very quickly. Hello Autumn with your Yellow Rain Warning.
