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.

The last day of British Summer Time. Colder, darker, wetter and 10.5 TOG. Oct-O-Bar at the Otley and more Onion planting #SaturdayWrap

Bug Logging Day

The Spoons Autumn Real Ale Festival is roughly at the same time as major software houses upgrade time. That’s why the #SaturdayWrap (live from The Queens Hotel – Newport) is upside down. So that’s why it’s Bug Logging Time. It was a double chips day and I got grassy in The Pen & Wig. Rained.

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)

Post Gloucester Brewery’s Oktoberfest 2019. Monday Club in Spoons and two days away from the Autumn Beer Festival and £2.50 a Pint for Cask Ales in Tiny Rebel Newport. It drizzled.
