I take the car to work today so that I can rush home
afterwards (relatively speaking as this is very traffic dependent) to spend some time with
the boys before meeting L and heading off to the Nottingham Beer Festival. Usually
we go early and leave early, this year we thought we adjust the strategy
slightly and go later.
It’s busy but not too busy, not sure if going a bit later
made that difference or not.
L is on a wine craze at the moment and heads straight for
the fruit wines. A strategy she quickly rethinks when they charge her six
tokens for a thimble full. Half a pint of beer is three tokens. Beer wise, I try to stay on the
dark side as much as possible and also drink local wherever possible.

Again there’s a good selection of food including curries by local
posh Indian restaurant Mem Saab. These are in very short supply and only the
beef madras is left by the time we order. It’s good though, if lacking a little on
the quantity side.
