Early evening - pleasant. I read a bit and then commiserated with fellow Fulham fan Steve about our team’s recent form. The juke box is off to the Midlands to be repaired tomorrow.

Evening. We have a few tables in the conservatory area reserved for a bit of a do to celebrate my son’s birthday and his partner’s - who is 50 today. A good time had by all - and the barman, who is working single handedly, does very well.

Swift visit mid evening. Pleasantly quiet. Salopian Light Fantastic at 4.2 also on. Only the four ales on - fewest I’ve seen here for a long time. All under £4 a pint though.

Evening- I had just been to a walking football session nearby and was thirsty. Met my son for a rather enjoyable small session. The previous landlord was in plus a good smattering of locals. 3 other ales on, not noted.
