Squirrel Politics Monday
So either the cold is back or maybe it’s a hangover, I’m going with both. So, it was a late start and there were Squirrels everywhere. The Regal has lost its three planes, so it’s just King Kong left. Politics Monday and the 45% tax rate is to remain. The Regal really is good at keeping cask ale. The Turks Head, a great Land Lady and cask ales. Even faster WiFi in The Pelican and still a great selection of Fine Ales.
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.

The First Full Day
It’s still rather blowy. To The Regal via the Skateboard Park (apparently). In training for the first full day of The Pelican Inn Winter Beer Festival (in March).

From 04 to 05 over the mountains, blowy Gloucester, good condition in The Regal, Winter Beer Festival prep in The Pelican Inn, Apple announces and a paper bag in my locker.
Peek Locker Power
From mb04 50 mb05 not via the M5. An Anker power supply delivered to my Premier Inn. Pre Winter Beer Festival in The Pelican. Sunny but blowy. Great condition in The Regal. Pump Clips a frenzy in The Pelican Inn.
20220308 Prelude mb05 Gloucester March 22
The watershed between mb04 and mb05 via a long list of mountains after the rush hour. Having an Anker power supply delivered to the Amazon lockers in my Premier Inn. Rather blowy in Gloucester and the Plum Porter is going down a treat. Pre Winter Beer Festival in The Pelican and Apple’s Peek Performance.
Pleasant Winter Walking
A Rene Ritchie edited Day 01 video. I need a faster Mac. The Costa App is still very confusing and a pleasant walk to The Regal, for February that is. Ales from 08:00 and FTTC WiFi speeds and then Erich gets the Rhona. Here in Wales. Chuck gets it for the second time. More Beer Festivals scheduled for The Pelican.
