Happy Days

Yesterday went with a bit of a bang. I really enjoyed my trekker
training in the south west and then went to Epsom as I am working
in Croydon today.

After dropping my stuff at Andrews I went for a quick beer in the
Rising Sun. Apparently my person being in that particular
establishment is no longer acceptable to the ponsy management who
are slowly killing this once great pub. They didn't like my
Beerintheevening review so have put a bar on me. I don't care
but its the first pub I've ever been bard from and after the
thousands I have spent in the place. The pub was empty when I
went in. The place will be a block of posh apartments in a few
years I would wager. I told the manager this on my way out and
it didn't go down at all well.

Jaid and I then took a walk to the King's Head a bustling little
pub and I enjoyed 3 pints of landlord bitter before Andrew and I
went to Mint for the best curry it's been my pleasure to eat this
year.

Steve then dropped the largest bombshell of the evening by
informing me that Action For Blind People wish to get out of
housing and are selling Swaile House in EPSOM and the other
similar projects they run around the country. This saddens me a
bit since to be honest Swail gave me the leg up that was really
necessary after my last year in Preston.

we then went to the White Horse and met up with Don as well as
others from the old days of the Riser. What a good laugh plus
They had a good selection of ales including beers from Brains,
Batemans Gk and another I forget now. we had a cracking evening
and the landlord along with the French barman made a good double
team.

Moving on a few hours the Braillenote training went really well
today and afterward I went out for a beer with the customer and a
lass who worked for him. some days are so good when your
training, I forget that sometimes. The pub which was on Cherry
Orchard Road had Harvy's's, Adnam's and Lancaster Bomber plus did
some monster home made burgers.
I'm now on my way back to Ipswich and will probably get together
with Chris for a beer in the Dove.

Clare and I may be going into London tomorrow and should we do
this I shall send an update from the train about our day.

It's really cool that you can email to the blogger account which
then gets replicated in my Facebook notes.
