What happened on the third day of mb04 2026
Was it summer, or did it rain and blow a gale? I think it was the latter. Anyway, Commercial Rooms—the back is rather good, but it can get really busy, so don’t get locked in there.
I snagged some new macOS 27 wallpaper; I really liked it. I must return to Little Martha Brewery, and Wiper and True as well. Little Martha, rabbit-related. FIFA servers were glitching ahead of the World Cup. And in Wiper and True, it was full of blokes needing a pint after work. Can’t blame them, really. They were playing “Goodbye Stranger” by Supertramp in the background. Wonderful.

The birds were singing as I loaded up the car. Breakfast was a Scotch Egg minus the Egg. The M4 got really foggy when it became English. 4 Spoons Festival Ales and a Boneless Chicken Basket and then meeting Rickie and Eddie at The Waverley.

Semi sleep in and it was already hot when I left the Travelodge. Luckily The Bridge House was back open. Police bringing drunks in to get served and a fresh cask of Plum Porter. A gentle afternoon in The Waverley with a fan.
