A week of Buggy Software and Weather Warnings

Saturday Wrap – 28 September 2019

The Indian Summer has ended and it’s been a week of wind, rain and weather warnings. A sweet Pixel 3a Android 10 upgrade. Buggy Android, Windows, iOS and iPadOS software this week and why software companies should concentrate more on quality than quantity of software. The Rugby World Cup 2019 and it’s effect on Pubs and beer. Live from The Malcolm Uphill, Caerphilly #SaturdayWrap

The International Rainbow Project 2019

The last Beer House Beano of Summer or Indian Summer 2019 #mb13. A dark journey in, cool to start and then it got up to 24c, the Beer House Front Door was wide open. The star of the day was The International Rainbow Project 2019. UK and USA brewers producing some wonderful ales and the pump clips are all the colours of the rainbow. Going to put that down for a revisit next day. Good times that pass very quickly. Hello Autumn with your Yellow Rain Warning.

Saturday Wrap – 21 September 2019

#mb13 and a Pre Booked Hereford Beer House at 10:00. A sweet Pixel 3a Android 10 upgrade. Why I’m skipping iOS 13.0 and Apple are turning in Microsoft with point zero releases. Micro Pubs, why they are disparate and niche and wonderful. Live from Costa Coffee, Hereford #Saturdaywrap

Seven of Nine Money Off

15/09/2019 Leave a comment

Cool mornings, hot daytimes and early sunsets, the joy of September. I hadn’t been to Penarth since May 2019 and this return had The Penarth Picnic. They closed the main street and got a whole load of food vans in. Spoons in the form of the Bears Head where the Picnic messed up their deliveries, however there was no problem with my Bacon Roll. Crafty Devils Penarth Cellar where the ales are still fine but now, they have WiFi. The Golden Lion, my favourite back street boozer. A huge tray of chips from the Plassey Fish bar and a melty finish in the ever excellent Penarth Bottle Shop. I acquired two books of Wetherspoon money off vouchers too and it was legit. A day for the memories.

Saturday Wrap – 14 September 2019

Trying not to turn this into this week in moaning but failing (yet again). Far more, even more politics. The annual Apple iPhone reality distortion field. Services first, slightly Pixel 3a market segmentation and prices and no 5G. The end of Bengali and Lo-Res in the Tumble and lots of disparate September weather.

A Sporting Belgian

Autumn (The Fall) hit’s the beautiful Lower Rhymney Valley with only the first day as an Indian Summer. Cardiff where only Wetherspoons have sensible opening times (says me). Ending up in The Head of Steam where the live Untappd feed is only upstairs now. Belgian low alcohol ales and it is as good as the full fat. Power and USB sockets all over. It didn’t rain.

This Week in Westminster Spoons

Saturday Wrap – 07 September 2019

Trying not to turn this into this week in moaning but failing. Even more lots of politics. The Palace of Westminster turned into a Wetherspoons, 20 off a pint of Ruddles, Shappers in a upstairs toilet and some Westminster weather and beer reviews. And where exactly is Android 10 anyway. And yes only one day of an Indian Summer
