Exhausted after immensely busy day at work (amazing to have so much support, but wow, it is tiring too!). Pondering going to take some pics after work, or just trudge tiredly home when chum texts to say they're in my local. Problem solved...

The pubs were still closed, but they could serve "takeaway", filling up bottles from the ale taps, behind screens. I waited my turn (only a couple allowed in at a time for social distancing) and bought a few pints to support my local. Such weird times...

A once regular occurrence when younger, a few pints with chums after work, now, in middle age, a much rarer happening. Ales, craic, and pies may also have been involved...

Awaiting arrival of a chum, may as well make a start on the Jarl and have a read. Relaxing beer in Diggers, where you can still get two pints for under a tenner, an increasing rarity these days...

Slow amble homeward, evening sunlight still bright and warm. Paused to take more photos along Canalside, then found myself passing Diggers and thinking, well, I'm in no hurry to get home, so another rehydration & reading session it is ...

Should go home... Or have another pint and keep reading...
Yeah, that really wasn't a difficult decision...

Continuing to read while also reacquainting myself with an old friend, a pint of Deuchars.
Along with Caley 80, my go-to ale for many years.
Really not what it once was, supplanted by newer, better IPAs, but still decent enough pint. On draught in the local (for a mere£3.90!), so indulging in nostalgia. Or should that be "nostalegia"?😋

Post-film book and beer, having a pint of Yule Love This, a festive ale

Pint in very busy local on way home, something I used to do more often, but less frequently these days. But chum having rough time and needs it & chat, and really, so do I...

With pubs closed, my local was allowed to sell take-away to take care of some stock and make a little income, so we'd go in to get some ale to take home
Few days off before the seasonal frenzy in our wee bookshop in November & December (great for business, but very tiring on staff though!) kicks in (we're already unpacking way more new releases aimed at festive gift buyers).
So, afternoon escaping this mess of a world in cinema, then book & beer session in local boozer on walk home

Day off movie outting marred by alarm & evacuation of cinema. Fortunately we got back in eventually and saw rest of screening (zero points to cinema staff who never once talked to the hundreds of viewers waiting & wondering, though)
Now post film pint of the Old Speckled Hen to rehydrate....

Errands run, time to relax. Nice pint of Jarl and a read in the local.

Errands run, chores, done; amble to the local for a refreshing pint of Jarl and start a new book that just arrived from chums at @orbitbooks , Boys in the Valley by Philip Fracassi
Endorsement by Victor LaValle is encouraging.
