Tryanuary

Back on the bike and perfect weather for it. Well, actually, perhaps a bit too warm.

Dog training tonight, the first of two this week. L goes to Mickleover and we meet up in the Masons pub afterwards as usual. The pub on a Tuesday. Tut tut.

The pub is deathly quiet clearly they are not dong ‘Tryanuary’. January is a very difficult month for pubs and these places need our support.

New Year Resolutionists

The traffic is horrific and it takes 70 minutes to get to work in the car.

The part of the point of taking the car is that it’s dog training tonight, although I do also get the shopping every Monday. Dogging is called off, so Plan B kicks in. I have the necessary kit with me so I shall swim.

I can see why training is off, it's pretty foul out there, and I just got soaked by a sudden downpour in Sainsburys car park. MD will be gutted, I'm sure he was looking forward to it. Luckily he’s still got a double header on Tuesday and Wednesday.

The pool is packed, as I knew it would be. Full of New Year Resolutionists no doubt. Who’ll all no doubt be doing Dryanuary as well.

I get an email advertising Tryanuary. Now this is more like it!

Make it your mission to seek out new breweries, beers, bars and bottle shops throughout January.
