The New Daysack

26/05/2024 Leave a comment

When you have a light and dry journey down and you miss all of the Bank Holiday weather. You learn that you can use self check out even if you are buying a gift card in Sainsbury’s. Then Spoons are having a Cider and Perry Festival. On to the Port Bar, where I discover the Squarespace app is broken again.

Down the left hand side of the marina (for the first time) to the Siren’s Calling. There I was struggling to get an IP address on both phones and the video camera needed a hard reboot. The TV didn’t seem to want to show the FA Cup both before the end of the afternoon, they were all working. The only thing that really worked well was the new Daysack. The joys of quality Beanoing.

mb02 2024 Unplugged

Now in 1080p but still with bad lighting and drunken presentation. Odds and sods from #mb02 2024. The back to Portishead Beano.  Faulty apps and WiFi.

Logged the WiFi with reception and they are phoning it in. Changing my Discord email address which involves changing a name of an inbox to match the address I gave to Discord. Trying the Squarespace app on the iPad Pro and it works in different way but its still buggy as hell. Going on the cans in the Posset Cup.

Going to blog about my Premier Inn All You Can East Full English. The walk to The Port Bar was sunny but a bit blowy. The Ales very well made. There was a Glass and it had bubbles. The Siren’s Calling was full of dogs and a nearby spillage.

Could Spring Be Just Around The Corner

19/02/2024 Leave a comment

The rain was finished by 08:00 and the Yellow Rain Warning was cancelled soon after. Cans, not Cask in The Posset Cupas the limited selection was the same as yesterday.

The walk to The Port Bar, which opened at 10:00 was rather pleasant. Sunny but a bit windy. The Ales, well, were very well made.

The Siren’s Call with the hot nearly Spring Sun and dogs that weren’t friends. There was spillage but it wasn’t mine.

Yes, those bubbles!

The drizzle arrived but the fog, well it was only the odd patch of mist on the journey down. Getting off the Prince of Wales bridge and into England, it immediately became light. Portishead was mild with cloudiness and the odd shower.

The Port Bar had run out of XL T-shirts so I traded up to XXL. I can always bulk up.  The joy of Fine Cask Ales in The Siren’s Calling.  

And the WiFi in the Premier Inn failed after an hour. Tethering with everything.

Instant English Light

18/02/2024 Leave a comment

You come off the second Severn crossing and it instantly turns lighter. The drizzle stops too. Mild and mostly cloudy, it’s a day when the Squarespace App crashes all the time. Posset Cup, then the Port Bar, where there is a World Shortage of XL T-shirts. XXL, just in case.

The long harbour side walk to The Siren’s Calling, which is well worth it. It filled up quickly. Cask, Keg and a can foe me ans sausage in batter and chips for lunch. Yellow Rain Warning on the way back.

Belgian and Bristol

Looking out of the window and seeing all the parked cars frosted up. Two hot water bottles on the dash, half an hour better I left. No frost in Portishead and three guest ales in The Posset Cup.

It was a bit sunny. The Siren’s Calling was all Belgian and Bristol Ales. Rather expensive chips from next door as well. Tech support and Red Sky at night. Good 2024 times.

Lots of damp Autumn weather on the journey down. Portishead was dark, dry and windy. Sainsbury’s for the later food and an Apple gift card. Bacon Butty and Coffee to start in The Posset Cup. The Cask Ales were Fine. The Port, FTTC, Great Ales and Great Staff. The Siren’s Calling with chips from next door and then the rains came. Great welcome in The Premier Inn and an extra free hour.

Different But The Same

29/10/2023 Leave a comment

Not keen on dark and wet starts to Mini Beanos, or lack of street lamps and 20mph speed limits either. Portishead started dry but windy. Sainsbury’s was friendly and the Spoons Bacon Butty hit the mark. You can’t beat Simcoe. Took a while to find the Port but it was well worth it. Fast FTTC too. The Siren’s Calling, Fine Bristol Ales and chips from the Chippy next door. And, then it rained. a lot.

You leave earlier than you need to, to avoid the M4 traffic. You sit in the carpark at the Portishead Premier Inn and watch the world go by. 07:00, a Sainsbury’s meal deal for breakfast. 08:00, The Posset Cup for a fruit based drink and a bottle of Welsh Water before some Fine Ales. Curry Thursday despite there being a World Mango Chutney shortage. When you discover the Siren’s Calling doesn’t open until 16:00 on a Thursday. Back to The Posset Cup for a Doombar then check into The Premier Inn.

Needs more planning
