20240217 mb02 Day 01 Wrap

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.

Tethered

Instant English Light

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.

So it starts with new hardware for the Unplugged video. From Windows to Mac and 720 to 1080. The weather forecast says there may be fog on the way down and a Yellow Warning of Rain from 15:00.  

Light rain and drizzle with just the odd hint of mist on the way down.  It immediately become light as I got of The Severn Bridge and came into England. It’s mild and semi sunny, at least for now.

In The Posset Cup, all you can drink Coffee until the bar opens at 09:00. Going well.

All you can eat Full English to beat the cold weather. Strangely no frost. Then onto The Posset Cup, where someone had superglued a 10p to my table. I seem to have developed a taste for Doombar. Extra Nectar points at Sainsbury’s, things then back to The Siren’s calling. Drinking LocAle. Nothing Else Matters.

And so it ends

Superglued 10p

Strangely no frost but it was dark, chilly and with a hint of damp before my Premier Inn Full English. A 10p was superglued to the table in The Posset Cup.

Back to The Siren’s Calling. Drinking all Local Ales with some winners in cans. Nippy out. Guy playing Guitar. Nothing Else Matters.

The car was frosted up, so it was two hot water bottles on the dash and de-icing fluid everywhere else. The journey to the M4 was following a driver even slower than me. No frost in Portishead and Spoons was Coffee and Guest Ales. The Siren’s Calling was all Bristol and Belgian Ales. Chips from next door as well. A cold Beano but a quality Beano.

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.
