Early evening- some regulars still going strong on this ridiculously long additional bank holiday weekend in a month with two others. I’m trying to avoid coronation stuff but good bar banter turned to pot-holes in the Mall and who should be paying for them so I left them to it, without noting all the other, no doubt very good, beers.

| Oakham - Green Devil IPA | 6.00 | | It’s Oakham, it’s 6%, it’s at the best real ale pub in Canterbury. What’s not to like. |

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.

| Shiny - Disco Balls | 5.30 | | First pint was superb, second was the end of the barrel - still good but very slightly hazy. It was offered free! No complaints. |
