What happened on the third day of mb05 2026

Start the day with a Spoons breakfast and extra butter. Go to Liverpool Street where my Oyster card fails. Upstairs which is cooler now opens at 11:00. Hot walk to the Crosse Keys. Table 135 upstairs with cooling Marble. Slightly better WiFi and the adequate ThreeUK. Tom has an accent. Fighter pilots and wonderful calculators. A virtual Pub crawl

Hats off to the Comfort Cooling in The Premier Inn and the WiFi is non too shabby too. What a great Spoons the Sun Wharf is. Mr B arrived. Football and Beer. GPS doesn’t always work well in the City. More Beer, More Pubs and Borough Market. Nearly became a Doctor and a hot tube back.

An early train that ends up going backwards from Bristol Parkway. Always use Google Maps not your Spidey Sense. Easy to miss Premier Inn and the Spoons around the corner bar does not open until 10:00. The Crosse Keys is huge, has portable aircon units but only Cloud WiFi. The Bear In Paddington meets 90% of my Beanoing needs. I got to The Premier Inn and immediately feel asleep. Climate Climate no doubt.

Caerphilly, when The Malcolm Uphill is having Cellar problems. The Project where it may become Sir Dry Roasted and a rather Fine selections of Ales on Tap.

Cinnamon and Full English

A Saturday morning Full English for the first time in ages in the Malcolm Uphill at table 30, my coal mine booth. Then I moved on to the Lock-Up bottle shop, but it was closed. It did eventually open up; however, no video because of lots of loud music in the background, and I didn't want a takedown.

In the afternoon, the Project in Caerphilly. A Welsh cake, lots of Fine Ales, wonderful air conditioning, and Cinnamon. Who'd have thought? Lots of Cinnamon.

When May is rather wet and not very early summery, it's time to revisit pubs that you haven't been to since June 2021. The Rickards. What a great place that is. Twt Lol Lollfest glasses and Grey Trees beer. Then on to the Otley, where I got waved at. Still haven't fixed the WiFi though, but the beers are really rather good. Nearly lost my bus pass as well.
