Don't go to the pub

[Quark]

Pint of IPA after training last night. An actual pint.  Sat with actual people.

Just catching up on the local gossip and it seems the police shut down the local spoons last night due to overcrowding

Went to the pub yesterday.. Very social distancing.. But then we left at 6 as they told us that they were fully booked..

Can’t they just shut them down due to Tim Wetherspoon being a prick ?!

Went to the pub yesterday, 6 of us outside, very safe (as I've found going in every pub during all this). Was just great to be doing something 'normal' with a group of mates (even if by 10pm it was freezing!)

Went to the Brixton Windmill for a pint, Market for dinner and then a post dinner cocktail at the Laundry. All very nice and no booking needed!

Had my first pub pint since December 2nd today! Was very nice. We walked down to the river to find a pub there and got a table without booking. Guessing it being a midweek afternoon helped. Felt like a baby step back to normality.

Countdown now at 11 days until hospitality opens here and that first pint can be savoured. Bloody annoying that the weather at the moment here is ideal for outdoor drinking.  Pubs and hotels beginning to show signs of life with staff in cleaning and outdoor areas being spruced up and additional seating installed.  Even saw a mop and bucket being dragged into the local Weatherspoons  bogs (won’t give them my custom anyway).

That's the spirit.

I think it was the end of night spirits that caused the damage

Unfortunately I can't upvote you as I have ran out of those things.

Anyway, just to say that yours is the Dunkirk spirit (there it is again!) sir!

Probably too pissed to be able to ...

I've got my votes back.

Ahhhh, sorry. I thought it said "Don't, go to the pub"

Pub last night. It was freezing and I don't even drink but i bloody loved it. 

Weirdest part was getting home at 10.30. Genuinely can't remember the last time I got home that late

I've just got back from the pub. First time out out for months, though not really out out, but a bit more than just out.

Nearly went to my regular weekend haunt earlier which had a great band on in the garden but they started at 17:30 and having come off of a night shift with only a couple of hours or three of sleep fitted in decided against it as knackered and a long way to walk and it had got a bit too late to be worthwhile.

Then I got a phone call at about 20:00 inviting me out to a closer place:

"They've got a band on".

"Who are they?".

"Don't know".

I was honestly just thinking about about going to bed(ish) and watching a movie. I'd like to say they talked me into it, but to be fair, after I'd pointed out how tired I was they did leave it to my discretion, so I guess I talked myself into it. Was going to have to bite the bullet at some point. May as well get it out the way.

Turned out to be one of the definitely not that great local bands, but hey, a night out watching a band again. If they'd told me who it was I probably wouldn't have bothered.

It's been a while. Haven't been in that kind of (still distanced) crowd for so long

It didn't feel like a Saturday though. More like a Sunday. That's probably a lot to do with my shift work but also maybe bands starting earlier due to the gardens and the neighbours.

Ooh. And I may have broken the law by (only slightly honest) mixing with more than two households and briefly kissing one of them. Is that fine-able?

Back home and alone again now though. I maybe a bit sleep deprived (as well as the bevy).

You kissed a whole household? 

Tart! 🙂

Midland hotel in Morecambe for a couple of pints yesterday teatime. We were in no rush to get back to the pub really, but we went for a walk & saw that it looked fine & popped in. Once we settled in I’d forgotten how lovely it is just sitting and having a couple of pints. 

Managed to get our favourite seats in the sun trap. Ordered our drinks off the app and had them brought to us.

Occasional queues of 1-3 groups who just sat on the wall & sally distanced while they waited about 15 mins at most for a table to be free.

All in all it was really calm and relaxing just sitting in the sunshine looking out at the bay...

Had a couple of pints of Guinness on Southend seafront yesterday in the sunshine. Had no intention of doing so, but the empty table seemed to call us.

Bit strange that the male toilets had to be locked whenever not in use to keep numbers down!

Drove along the esplanade yesterday looking for parking to go to Cliffs to get my vaccine, the whole place was absolutely rammed. Queues for the adventure park were insane.
