20211127 mb08 Day 03 Wrap
Then there was Storm Arwen and Costa was closed to walk ins due to staff shortages. It snowed while I was in the Regal, however the Saturday Wrap was not disrupted. The Pelican had it’s marquee blown away but the Fine Ales were unharmed. Til the next time.
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.

An hour and a half sleep in. I get my last Bean to work. The Constable opens at 09:0. A new festive variant. A Cloudwater 10% to start and rather stormy.
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.

As cold and clear as you can get without frost. High contrast and semi optimised journey. The Costa app needs the Beans redemption redesigned. Nectar points at Sainsbury. Black Friday App Store deals. The Gorilla in a Santa hat. Pelican Internet down, tab in operation.
20211125 – Prelude mb08 Gloucester November 21
A Manchester Beer Festive in Gloucester, what’s not to love. However badly bruised toe and a non optimised departure. These things are sent to try us. Fighting it with Coffee and Bacon Rolls mostly. Turned out the departure was slightly optimised due to the clear skies.

Start the day with a 4K Saturday Wrap. Uniques and a Full English in the Kings Fee. Huge Dog in The Hereford Beer House. Still no rain.
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.
