20260708 mb05 Day 02 Wrap
What happened on the second day of mb05 2026
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.
20260707 mb05 Day 01 Wrap
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.
Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 04 July 2026
Caerphilly, when The Malcolm Uphill is having Cellar problems. The Project where it may become Sir Dry Roasted and a rather Fine selections of Ales on Tap.

An Afternoon of Cooling Off with Little CoPilot
Summer Weather, Summer Aircon and Fine Summer Ales. A little Gemini AI too.

Cinnamon and Full English
A Saturday morning Full English for the first time in ages in the Malcolm Uphill at table 30, my coal mine booth. Then I moved on to the Lock-Up bottle shop, but it was closed. It did eventually open up; however, no video because of lots of loud music in the background, and I didn’t want a takedown.
In the afternoon, the Project in Caerphilly. A Welsh cake, lots of Fine Ales, wonderful air conditioning, and Cinnamon. Who’d have thought? Lots of Cinnamon.

White Wellie Saturday
A Saturday morning Beano and I was flagging. Whether it was the World Cup or whether it was mb04, I don’t really know, but by the middle of the afternoon, I was sleepy. It wasn’t just the finals. However, standouts were White Wellie from Weird Dad and a tray of the finest Maris Piper chips from the Harbour Fish Bar.
mb04 2026 Unplugged
Badly lit, poor sound. June 2026 3 nights in Bristol. Picture in Picture and settling on iMovie. The only thing that didn’t happen was the Full English on the last day in The Knights Templar.
Prelude – Beers Of The Beano – Saturday 13 June 2026
Summer’s back and I’m in The World Cup John Wallace Linton. Gentle light Dancing Dragonfly. Thinking Bristol, Maris Piper and Weird Dad.

20260611 mb04 Day 03 Wrap
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.
