20230106 Prelude mb01 Hereford Jan 23

06/01/2023 Leave a comment

The first Mini Beano of 2023 and the usual January issue of closed pubs. Redone my schedule and I think I have got it beat. Too dark for optimised departure, obviously. A windy start at home and a calm and cooler arrival in Hereford. It’s good to be Beanoing in 2023.

A look back on my year in Tech, my favourite hardware, software, what went well and what didn’t. I look a little forward as well.

The Mild Christmas Eve

25/12/2022 Leave a comment

The day before Christmas and it’s time to count my blessings. Starting early with a Luxury, Festive Mince Pie.  One and a half in the Pen & Wig with a discount for my CAMRA card. You can’t beat a quality tray of chips on Christmas Eve, even when you are overlooking Newport Railway Station. On to The Little Tap House, where Arfur popped in. Forgot to video that bit. I ended up in Tiny Rebel, drinking Cask and gaining TR rewards. Very rather sleepy on the bus.

Cold, Snow and Festive – Cwrw17 December 2022

22/12/2022 Leave a comment

Had to use my backup bus as the Graig-y-Rhacca bus yet again didn’t show up. Caerphilly at just above freezing but still had a lot more snow than Bedwas. A Festive Mice Pie and a Pint of Cwrw to start the day in The Malcom Uphill. And then it all got Hazy in the form of Hazy Jane. Downhill all the way once I reached Brew Monster. Some Discord live chat too.
