What happened on the third day of mb05 2026
Start the day with a Spoons breakfast and extra butter. Go to Liverpool Street where my Oyster card fails. Upstairs which is cooler now opens at 11:00. Hot walk to the Crosse Keys. Table 135 upstairs with cooling Marble. Slightly better WiFi and the adequate ThreeUK. Tom has an accent. Fighter pilots and wonderful calculators. A virtual Pub crawl.

Hats off to the Comfort Cooling in The Premier Inn and the WiFi is non too shabby too. What a great Spoons the Sun Wharf is. Mr B arrived. Football and Beer. GPS doesn’t always work well in the City. More Beer, More Pubs and Borough Market. Nearly became a Doctor and a hot tube back.

An early train that ends up going backwards from Bristol Parkway. Always use Google Maps not your Spidey Sense. Easy to miss Premier Inn and the Spoons around the corner bar does not open until 10:00. The Crosse Keys is huge, has portable aircon units but only Cloud WiFi. The Bear In Paddington meets 90% of my Beanoing needs. I got to The Premier Inn and immediately feel asleep. Climate Climate no doubt.

What happened on the third day of mb04 2026
Was it summer, or did it rain and blow a gale? I think it was the latter. Anyway, Commercial Rooms—the back is rather good, but it can get really busy, so don’t get locked in there.
I snagged some new macOS 27 wallpaper; I really liked it. I must return to Little Martha Brewery, and Wiper and True as well. Little Martha, rabbit-related. FIFA servers were glitching ahead of the World Cup. And in Wiper and True, it was full of blokes needing a pint after work. Can’t blame them, really. They were playing “Goodbye Stranger” by Supertramp in the background. Wonderful.

Dry but grey to start. iMovie over Resolve for simple edits. Putting Picture in Picture back. Gentle Full English. The Waverley and People. Spotting rain.
What happened on the first day of mb03 2026
A gentle drive along the M4 with the odd light fog patch. Costa breakfast and someone had booked my space at the Bridge House. Taking it easy and some was also in my space in the Prince of Wales. Rain and an exhausted early night.

Cost cutting. Sometimes you check and they aren’t open. Table stakes. Welcoming. Petrol Stations on Sundays.

A touch of Red Sky in the morning on the easy journey down. Spoons Wings and Chips a winner. Great welcome at The Settle Inn even before I’d been in. Extra Fast Premier Inn WiFi.
