Genius move from Tesco
-
Went to the pub yesterday for lunch. Felt odd to be back honestly. It was a bit chilly to be outside, but still good be part of it.
Chatting to the landlord, she said that they were debating opening up but decided to simply to fulfill demand. Said that last years flip flopping was what killed them, as they lose all their stock supply. Hence, thats why many haven't opened yet, as to open for two weeks incurs a bigger net loss than to not open at all.
My local still hasn't opened and hasn't given an indication of when it's going to. It's been closed for over a year now.

That's bloody brilliant from Tesco.
Went down our local with a couple of neighbours last nite (We called it The Glorious 12th). It's actually a large village hall which hosts a bar so costs are quite low and lockdown hasn't impacted them much.
Had open marquees and they'd arranged the production of a special beer to celebrate. T'was a good night.

I do miss having a local. Drove past 'spoons last night and there was a queue to get "in". Didn't bother to check out The Daylight...
In through the door, out through the window in the old days.

Hit my three targets for the week. Pub, haircut, car wash. Not sure what to do with myself now.
Popped down to my local with a bunch of my old rugby mates yesterday afternoon. Got there at three to make sure we got a table. Left just after 7. Not used to that much beer so the outcome was poor. Still worth it though.

Good man. Haiircut this morning and washing my car today. And had root canal treatment yesterday..
Dentist was saying they had appointments cancelled on Monday because patients couldn't get parking in the town. Insane levels of traffic apparently.

Yet despite this, they have, collectively, taken a toll.

Haircut today. Have had same tooth root canalled three times. Never again.

Painless. Had niggling aches every now and again with this tooth for decades but couldn't find out what was wrong. Dentist thinks there was poss.a small infection lurking under the root which finally got big.
Lockdown ending, pubs open (ish), tooth sorted and looking at a new motorcycle. Good week.
