Where’s The Nitrogen?

11/01/2022 Leave a comment

Lots of confused weather and punters at the bar at The Regal wondering why their Creamflow isn’t very creamy. Me, renewing software licenses and taking tech support calls. Also, the UK is in Europe if not in the EU. HMS Belfast and the great people and ales in the Pelican Inn.

No Rain and 5G

Optimised Booking, Optimised departure, 5G on arrival but despite what it said on the door Costa Coffee was closed. So straight to the Lord High Constable of England. Gloucester Brewery’s Warehouse 4 is Awesome. Hats off to the Manager.

It’s Guidance not Law

England has Plan B and Wales has Political Banter and a vague mask mandate. Caerphilly, Pontypridd and Treforest. More Festive Ales with silly names. Making the most of it while I still can.

Bubs is Great

The bus was either very late or very early, I missed my train connection and the Apple store was having IT issues. However, Bubs was still Brilliant and I was in the corner with the Festive Awesome Ales. I really going to miss it, if they can’t find a new home. 3800.

Stormy Saturday Session

The wind and rain of Storm Arwen. Costa only doing drive throughs due to staff shortages. TFWRail shut down. The Regal in Gloucester still very festive and the home of The Saturday Wrap. Then it snowed. The wind was cutting but the real fire in The Pelican was warming. Mostly halves and I can’t wait for the next one.

A New Strain For Black Friday

Just in time for Christmas, a new strain of the Rhona. I use the last of my saved Costa Coffee Beans. The Bar in The Lord High Constable now opens at 09:00 instead of 10:00, very positive. Gentle Dogs, lots of people and Pink Floyd on YouTube. A massive Mini Beano.

When clear skies, high pressure weather and 50 mile an hour speed limits make your outbound Beano journey much easier. An extra five Nectar points at Sainsbury. Why the Costa App needs lots of work. The Gorilla in The Regal in a Santa App. App Store Black Friday deals. The wind is cutting but the Sun is warm. Excellent Ales in The Pelican Inn but the Internet was down for the first two hours. Lovely Pub, lover Pub Fire.

The 4K Mini Beano

Testing the tech and using Filmic Pro via the remote on the iPhone to record the Saturday Wrap in 4K. A unique and a Full English in The kings Fee to start the day. Watch out for huge dogs in The Hereford Beer House. Had my place as well. Still no rain.

The Hybrid Mini Beano

There’s been a lot of weather this week, along with a change of hours and owner at the Hereford Beer House. Hybrid Beano, work in the morning and mini Beanoing in the afternoon. £1.419 a litre, so even more, driving like a Granny. Cloudwater are doing a collab event and the Hereford Beer House is one of the outlets.

Sometimes you just want to take it easy. Sometimes it’s just because you can. But mostly it’s what I do. Wales being not up to the job and making the most of Hereford while I can. The Kings Fee has FTTC and booths. Semi Optimised departure gave me a mostly light journey and 20 extra Nectar points in Sainsbury. 

Nine weeks and a new, slightly different Hereford Beer House.
