GMT Weather and Purdah
GMT arrives with two days of frost and then two days of a cutting North Wind. The upside bug has been fixed, apple updates, an election and Untappd supporter #SaturdayWrap
Strange Cheers
Post Oct-O-Bar 2019, still raining, still flooding. Newport, The Queens Hotel. Lots of cheering for England, possibly more than the All Blacks. The John Wallace Linton, more All Black Cheering. Too wet for for the Harbour Fish Bar, so off to the chippy next to the leaking Bus Station roof. Tiny Rebel has new staff. Confused that you get a glass with a can.
Right Way Up
Well there was a workaround but mmm umm. Bridgend on the train. The penultimate day of The Spoons Autumn Real Ale Festival. Meeting up with one that then became two. Ended up in The Coach where their micro brewery ales were rather good. Chips and a sausage in batter too.
Christmas Started Here
Oktoberfest 2019 is over for me. Gloucester again next year? 3 days off and the countdown to Christmas started. MacOS Catalina, I holding off. Overcast fixes iOS 13 bugs. Spoons Autumn Beer Fest and the rain doesn’t stop #SaturdayWrap
Could be upside down (again)
Stillage Fest
A sign of old age no doubt but it was just Caerphilly on the last day of my leave. It was also the first day of the Wetherspoon’s Autumn Real Ale Festival. The Malcolm Uphill has all 40 Ales and six on Stillage. Good times.
20191005 #mb14 – Day 03
The final wrap of #mb14 2019. The Oktoberfest 2019 Beano. The highlights day by day. Day 01 Rhubarb Custard Milkshake IPA and in the spirit of cross platform integration, David Spark’s Apple Book The Guide to Markdown. And yes, I see the irony there. Day 02 was the Gloucester Brewery Oktoberfest 2019 German Hat. You gave got to get into spirit of these things. Day 03 introducing a CAMRA member to the joys of Untappd. And then it was over.
