2021125 mb08 Day 01 Wrap
As cold and clear as you can get without frost. High contrast and semi optimised journey. The Costa app needs the Beans redemption redesigned. Nectar points at Sainsbury. Black Friday App Store deals. The Gorilla in a Santa hat. Pelican Internet down, tab in operation.
High Contrast Motorways
When clear skies, high pressure weather and 50 mile an hour speed limits make your outbound Beano journey much easier. An extra five Nectar points at Sainsbury. Why the Costa App needs lots of work. The Gorilla in The Regal in a Santa App. App Store Black Friday deals. The wind is cutting but the Sun is warm. Excellent Ales in The Pelican Inn but the Internet was down for the first two hours. Lovely Pub, lover Pub Fire.
20211125 – Prelude mb08 Gloucester November 21
A Manchester Beer Festive in Gloucester, what’s not to love. However badly bruised toe and a non optimised departure. These things are sent to try us. Fighting it with Coffee and Bacon Rolls mostly. Turned out the departure was slightly optimised due to the clear skies.

The art of the leaving time, spending my Beanos, to the second at the Regal, so good to be back at the Pelican, wet and windy and fast Premier Inn WiFi
The Art of Timing
The M4 between the second Servern Crossing and the M5 between the M4 and Gloucester are both unlit, so I’m aimed to leave just as it was getting light. It worked out really well, so I parked up, had a Bacon Roll and Coffee in Costa and still arrived at The Regal (Wetherspoons) Gloucester for 08:00. The pub and the bar opening time.
The Regal quickly filled up both with professional drinkers and Rugby fans. Despite the high positive test result numbers it looks like the Rhonda is only having a marginal effect. Oh and The Regal has a King Kong model as well.
Still raining but the Pelican opened at the dot at 12:00. Awesome Pub, Awesome Ales and an Awesome welcome. New WiFi password as well. Rained a lot as well.

The thing about a Great Beano is that it’s almost over as soon as it’s begun. No rain, new Bacon Baps, Pint cans in Pink Floyd covers in a Brewery #mb04
The Doctor Foster Visit #mb04
A quarter in the early light of dawn and checked in via Touchwiz. A new style Costa Bacon Roll and Youtube upload issues. Overdoing it on Cheese & Onion Rolls and Happy Pint Cans from Arbor. Pink Floyd in The Gloucester Brewery and I’m back. Happy #mb04.
