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.

Gentle cloudy trip to Newport on a late arriving 50 bus. The last Bacon Roll in Costa and a Great Fest selection in The John Wallace Linton. An update on Premiere Pro for iPadOS. Yes it wants money.

New Bus timetable, no Costa Bacon Rolls. Security on the door of the John Wallace Blythman as Bristol Rovers were in town to play Newport County. Dave, in Weird Dad recommended a 12% Imperial Stout and it was very good. So good that I forgot to video the next beer. Very tiddly tippler later.

Maybe diet?

New Bus Timetable, Costa out of Bacon Rolls, Police on door of The JW Blythman as County are playing Bristol Rovers. Ales that are just about to turn and Daily Tech News doing a Hangout. This is what Beanos are all about.

What happened on the first day of mb06 2025

A standard pleasant start to mb06. Costa breakfast and then a ice bucket arrive to the Bridge House. Evacuated when water started to gush from the ceiling. Finishing the pint in the beer garden. The Prince of Wales for the afternoon. Where I had my first £10.00 can of beer. Times are hard!
