20220608 mb08 Day 03 Wrap
Lots of early morning things. The joys of remote Beanoing. Moving my iPad Pro SIM from Three to Smarty. Replacing my Chromebook which had gone End of Life. The last full day. Bacon Rolls are back in Costa. Petrol pushing £2.00 a litre in some parts of the UK, is this Beano limiting. It certainly looks like it. All Cask Ale in The Regal whilst listening to MacBreak Weekly. The Pelican’s WiFi is down and it’s not even raining. Luckily Mike is on hand with the backup WiFi. Belgian Ales from Scotland and Stockport whilst outside Cloudbursts. And there you go, it just went.
Skateboarding and Cloudbursts
The last day of #mb08, in fact the last full day of the combined Beano. Blowy out but dry and Costa has Bacon Rolls back. A wander over to the Skateboard Park, which it isn’t and Fine Ales in The Regal from 08:00. All £2.19 a Pint. Internet issues in the Pelican but he Can Cooler is fully functional. Meanwhile, outside Cloudbursts.

So the WiFi worked with the MacBook Pro this morning. A few, WiFi issues with the Dell but it was soon up and working. Put June’s security patch on the Pixel 3a and listened to the political updates on Boris’s No Confidence win. Learned that Dark Sky and it’s API will be gone by the end of the and March 2023. A misty world out of the window. Priced the MBA M2, expensive for mySKU. Lack of Bacon Rolls and Staff in Costa Coffee, no free drinks today. Video recording, posting and Cask Ales in The Lord High Constable Of England. Went to The Pelican, it is my Number One Pub.
Misty Pricing Up
Flaming June? Where did all this mist come from? Staffing issues in Costa Coffee and no Bacon Rolls. However, I coped. A quiet morning in The Lord High Constable Of England. Recording videos and drinking Cask Ale. Moving on to The Pelican, what a wonderful Pub it is. Tesco for tea.

Two Beanos and it’s wall to wall rain. Having to wait to get into Gloucester Quays as the Tall Ships are leaving. Another free large Cappuccino on the app. Buying Salad Leaves seeds. The Platty Joobs bunting is coming down. My alcohol stats dates are mixed up. A vote of no confidence tonight. The Apple Online Store goes down just after 12:00, which means there will be Hardware. My Keyboard arrives, it works. Brewhouse & Kitchen. My MacBook Pro falls off the Premier Inn WiFi and won’t reconnect. I watched WWDC on a Dell XPS13 with Windows 10. And the morning after the WiFi is working again.
And The Bridge Was Up
Leaving the Hereford Travelodge at 05:25 on a grey and showery Monday morning. Wake took me along the M50 instead of the all cross country route suggested by Google Maps. I like Waze. Coming into the Quays, the bridge was up and the red lights were flashing. The Tall Ships were leaving Gloucester and looked very impressive. Another free large Cappuccino on the Costa app and Salad Leaves seeds amongst other things from Sainsbury’s. Turning The Lord High Constable of England into a recording studio, also taking advantage of the FTTC WiFi. An announcement of a vote of no confidence was made for today. Platty Joobs over and Politics are back. Bunting coming down too. Tank, Amazon Lockers at the Premier Inn and Brewhouse & Kitchen.
20220606 Prelude mb08 Gloucester June 22
Up at 03:00 which seems to be a thing with my Beanos. Left Hereford at 05:25 and it rained all the way to Gloucester. Waze took me via the M50 where as Google Maps would have been all cross country. Got to The Quays and the Bridge was up. All the Tall Ships were on their way out of Gloucester. They looked very good despite the rain. Validated the car at the Premier Inn, although I suspect not a lot of their guests arrived at 06:30. Another free Cappuccino at Costa, courtesy of the app. Food from the local Sainsbury for tonight. The day way be The Lord High Constable of England, Tank and The BrewHouse and Kitchen. The Premier Inn for WWDC 2022 and maybe my keyboard will have arrived by then
Long May It Rain
It was dawn but it was still dark. I drove like a Granny as a litre of Petrol was going up, even as I drove. Rain from Monmouth to Hereford. I used one of my two Costa Coffee free drinks in Costa, a large Cappuccino. It was wall to wall Brenda Bunting in the Kings Fee. It may have even had a foot rest at table 27? You know, it’s always good times in The Hereford Beer House. Also Fine German Ales.

A dark but light start to the journey. Rain from Monmouth to Hereford. Using the app to get a free large Cappuccino in Costa. The Kings Fee was covered in Brenda Bunting and it was packed. More great Beer Learning in The Hereford Beer House. Watching the weather. Heavy overnight rain.
