Evening. Bit of a photocall event tonight with masses of yellow shirted "Tour de Sandwich" cyclists. There was a huge premium tonight to having a large front opening window for comfort in the swelt.

Lunchtime visit and all tables occupied. I enjoyed it in here and stayed for an extra pint, and noted with amusement that one gentleman drank up in order to catch the eight minutes past, the ordered another one because he didn't say which eight minutes past.

Unusually for the JR thee was live music on, something to do with a folk festival I believe. A bit noisy for me but at least the beer was good.

A celebratory drink to note my redundancy. Roger Marples should have been with us but sadly passed away seven days earlier. As it was 10 of us gathered and had a good day under the circumstances.
